The first real test of the season. The Rockets are going to be a good team this year and they usually play well against the Spurs at home. This game should give us an idea of how good the Spurs are as of right now.
Oh and the Scola subplot will be interesting.
86-80 spurs
So will the continuing struggle between Jack Nies and Tim Duncan, to the extent that it actually persists. Nies is the lead official tonight. He'll be joined by Ed Malloy and Derek Richardson.Quote:

On late in Brazil so I won't watch it.
Spurs fresh off a nice win against Sac. Houston coming into a 2nd game of a B2B off a loss to Dallas. I expect a big Spurs win.
I'll be listening to the game while in class tonight... Lucky for me the game falls on a tuesday and is the only thing capable of keeping me awake during my kill-me-now night class. I'd love for the Spurs to really stomp the rockets, and make as much of a statement as can be made during game 4 of the season.
I had at least 15 students stop by today to ask if I was going to the game and tell me their Rockets would beat my Spurs. I just laughed and said, we'll see. I'll wear my championship gear if we win. :lol
I'll have to use ESPN gamecast. :cry
is there a website to listen to the pre game show online?
so do you think the Spurs will start off a little rusty with the layoff or will they come out on fire??
I vote on me making a wet spot on the floor and making Yao fall down 10 stories from his ginormus height. :hungry:
I'm just glad the season is finally underway.
I expect both teams to want this, early season or not.
It is somewhat of a statement game.
As has been said, everything from Scola to Nies to Division race is in the mix tonight.
We play well on the road, we're rested.
I feel good about it.
But I know not to under estimate the Rockets, even on a back to back.
I'm going to sit back and enjoy every minute of it. :)

But he wanted to go, so I gave him a big smile and told him to have fun.
Y'all are stuck with me now.
Goddamn it, Dish is giving me the Houston feed of the game. Bill Worrell sucks ass.
I'm in Houston, so I have no choice. Eh. Could be worse.
I hope I can watch the game tonight, but since it's election night, management is around. :depressed
I have a class at 7 that I am skipping and a class at 830 that I will have to go to. :depressed
Yeah - Calvin Murphy could still be with him.Quote:

Exactly. God, he was awful.
It's on League Pass free!
is it still free on NBA league pass broadband? I thought it was over.
Just turned it on.
This 'reporter' is not great. He talks too much to try and answer his own questions, which I despise. Katie Couric does it too and I hate it. Either ask and let them answer or ask a clearer question to begin with. It's not an interview if you ask a question and then answer for them.
OK. About to start. What are the keys to the game tonight for the Spurs?
Listening or watching?Quote:

I expect a little rust and some more CIA Pop going with odd lineups to see how people work together against some good competition. If guys like Bonner, Udoka, Oberto, Barry, and even Washington play solid ball then the Spurs should win.
Well they started 4-0 in 2001 didn't they?
:lol at Clyde Drexler trying to make Rox fans feel better about dropping to Mavs last night.
I literally laughed out loud on thatQuote:

just ordered my league pass last night and I'm hoping the Spurs make it look like a wise $159 tonight.
I'm ready to get this moving. Let's go Spurs!
I haven't gotten Spurs call yet this year.
I'd really rather listen to Sean.
Beer, LP is the best (when it works) for out of area fans. We loved it last year.
That's what I'm afraid of.Quote:

I've had LP for years.Quote:

Ive meant on call dish network and asking them, if they had a payment plan. right now my bill is like $300. my place has been the wrestling PPV headquarter this whole year and have only caught up once this yearQuote:

Game Time! Be back at halftime.
and i was just thinking of where are the rocket trolls.
:toast :toast
and heres to a good game
I don't mind losing early, but I really kinda want to win this one. Too many kids to bug me at work tomorrow if we lose, and I'm already grim with my exposure to the world and have a lot to do tomorrow.
same for me but Commercial breaks and or TOQuote:
