The Spur's team are so old, they autographed basketballs for Jesus.

Anyway, I can't wait to see Yao dominate the two old timers in Duncan/Thomas. Seeing Artest go head to head with Bowen will be pretty fun too.

[Iggyemu]

Should be a good one.

Hope for no injuries.

[Baller 24]

Should be a boring one, I hate it when we play the Spurs.

Anyways, this time around I'd love to see more from Dorsey, hopefully Landry keeps stroking that jump shot of his, and we see more from Artest. I'd like to see us maybe try him at the 4, and see how he does guarding Duncan.

[A.J.]

Should be a good one. I hope no one gets hurt. I would like to see more of the young players in this game. Players such as Dorsey, Strawberry, Harris, and Brooks should more more tonight to see what they can do against a great defensive team like the Spurs. I wonder what kind of reception Barry will get? Yeah I know it's preseason.

[TMACFORMVP]

Just hope to see some of the young guys, and no injuries, seems like those are piling up more than often than previous pre-seasons for other teams.

[Transistor]

I hope we play Strawberry more tonight...give him some good experience against Tony Parker

[KiDdFrESh]

LOL... I dont know how yall can think these games are boring. I know its just pre-season and stars arent playing major minutes but I still get into these games. I was starting to have withdrawls... lol

As far as the game. I want see Landry play well.

[Baller 24]

I'd also really like to see DJ play; hopefully we do play him. I didn't really like what I saw from Brooks the other night. He made some bad plays, and one of which Bill Worell got pretty pissed at

[Iggyemu]

No Landry tonight. Getting the night off. No Duncan no Finley either. Hoping to see Brooks play better.

[Yao21]

Can I watch this game online? Anybody know of a stream?

[DreamShook34]

No Landry tonight. Getting the night off. No Duncan no Finley either. Hoping to see Brooks play better.

im glad landry is out i hope we get to see more dorsey. lets see what he can do

[A.J.]

Von Wafer makes his Rockets debut. He has a shot, so lets see what he can do.

[A.J.]

Im liking what I seen from Von Wafer so far. He is very athletic and is playing well so far.

[HTown_TMac]

Im liking what I seen from Von Wafer so far. He is very athletic and is playing well so far.

I was thinking the same

will he make the team over DJ and/or harris?

[A.J.]

OMG Dorsey!

Von is playing great tonight. It's going to be a tough decision for Adelman and Morey.

[aznkillabeezZz]

geez i just found out they're showing the game on sopcast from clutchfans ..

its on channel 48608 for anyone who wants to watch it

[Iggyemu]

Artest looking good again. I like how he plays hard regardless...but I think we should consider sitting him a few games this preseason b/c when he is on the floor he goes at it. Don't want any unnecessary preseason injuries.

[Iggyemu]

Head and Brooks are probably gonna be rotation regulars. None of the Spurs on the floor right now will be rotation regulars. Yet those two are getting owned. We have a big problem on the bench..this is the second straight game that those guys have sucked.

[Teckon]

Head will be at the end of the active rotation (9th or 10th man) since battier, landry, barry will be ahead of him. brooks will probably get more playing time unless steve francis can make a good comeback.
