I have a bad feeling about this game too..but I hope I'm wrong Check it out, Bowen v.s. Battier, 2 defensive specialists. lol Bowen will probably guard T-mac and Battier will guard Ginobili. If they do end up guarding each other then they'll cancel each other out. haha.

Houston will at least make it to the 2nd round of the Playoffs!
This is going to be a tough game but the type game the Rockets will have to win if they are going to achieve what they need to. It would really build our confidence which I think we still need to inprove at least when we look at our history vs. the Spurs these last few years. A big part of the game is mental and the Spurs have had our number, which we have to change. We have to know that we can beat the Spurs and until we do that the monkey is going to remain on our back. I know it is early in the season and the season is long but this is one we really need to win.
Our next 3 games (Spurs, Bulls & Pistons) are gonna be crucial. If we can manage to win 2 or even all 3 of them, then we can officially place ourselves in that category of teams with at least a chance of going far in the playoffs.
Back to the game at hand, alot is gonna depend on how well we stop penetration from Parker. If Parker enters the paint at will, then Yao is gonna find himself in foul trouble quickly, quite like what happened against Chris Paul and the Hornets. If we keep Parker in check, I believe this game is ours for the taking.
Come On Rockets!!!
Totally agree, if Rafer and Luther punk out tonight and let Parker ballet his way into Yao and Shane for fouls we have no chance. Tmac would have to repeat his 13/30sec superhuman performance then. Not likely. Defense is the key tonight, keep your man in front of you and box out. If they do that they will win. Don't look for Yao to dominate offensively for 30plus, this week his scoring avg will go down. With good reason, outside of playing ourselves: We face the three best defensive teams in the league SA CHI and DET all with lots of bigs to throw at Yao, triple teams w/ long lanky guys. The guys catching the kickout passes will determine our record this week, hope we go two for one. 2-1 this week will be fabulous, though possible to win all three or lose all three. Tuff schedule.
Luther and Rafer have to bring it defensively and STOP TURNING OVER THE BALL. If we're just gonna live w/ TOs then at least play Spanoulis? He can play better D and bring lots of energy, we need it w/o the CHUCKSTER, miss you Chuck But let that knee heal completely maybe stay out 3 weeks, then it'll heal w/o tendinitis like KMart.

Oh God man, not even close! Not even if he took andro and GH LOL. Please, I wish a Spurs fan would say some mess like that to me, "OH, you mean the Bruce who got cut from team USA? The Bruce who shoots 45% from the line?" My guy is a Dukie Champion and Olympian buddy U can call him Batman, but we call him Shane.
Shane is an Escalade, Bowen is a Jeep Liberty. (Though I like Jeeps, but it ain't no Caddilac baby

Come on now. Be nice. Bowen is at least a moderately used Jeep 4X4 Grand Cherokee Laredo. I absolutely do agreee that Shane is better though.
If the Rox don't get cheated on calls tonight then we should win this game. If Parker gets by our guards, they need to foul him from behind before he can get to the front court players. We need to spread the fouls out. Novak and VSpan should definitely get some PT tonight.
AGAIN, does anyone know if Bonzi will be active tonight?
