    95% of people, including myself, thought the Spurs would struggle in this game Vs the Rockets.

    When I looked at the scoreboard in the 4th Quarter and saw 58 points, It hit me how hard this team is struggling to score points.

    Defensively, it has to gel right now, and with the young guys learning that this early in the season is freaking great.

    2-6 or 3-5 isn't a huge difference, but I think it was a much needed shot in the arm.

    I hadn't heard it that loud in the AT&T center in a long long time. Arguably the loudest it's ever been for a November game!

    Hopefully the Bonner clutch shot spurs him to a better year and more playing time to properly earn that $2,000,000 salary.

    Great win, and hopefully the start of a good run.

    True, about the fans

    These past couple of seasons the lower bowl fans have been sooooo lame. Last night you could feel the energy.

    the fans were great at the end of the game..

    usually our fans are like our team, where nobody cares until the end of the season..this year is obviously different..

    The game was huge. When they could quit, the team showed character. Get a mobile big man and they could win it all.

    It's too early to say that this game saved their season. Because in a 82 game season you will lose some you are suppose to win (Milwaukee) and win some you are suppose to lose like last night.

    The most impressive thing to me from last night's game was being down by 14 with about 7 1/2 minutes in the game and they found a way to win. Also, George Hill being agreessive and going to the basket.

    If they can continue to win some gritty, tough defensive games and kept themselves above water or close to sea level until the calvary comes back....it will bode well later in the season.

    I don't think the game saved the season but it may have saved Bonner from being a waste for the rest of the season. And if this game catches any attention from GMs across the NBA, then we are very lucky.

    I think its definately a game that the team can build on, and one that Pop can use as a proof positive in that "defense wins, so keep up the intensity of the defense"

    Shame Duncan has to play 40 minutes a night though.

    This game saved Bonner from the end of the bench, at least.

    The most impressive thing about the fight in your signature video is the fact that Fedor didn't panic and actually won with an arm bar submission about 2 minutes later.

    All that win did was make up for the one we blew in Milwaukee. That's it. It was nice to see another win at home over a rival but other than that, Houston flat out got tired. I still expect us to be at .500 or a little better when we get our full team together.

    This is an extended preseason that gives the younger guys some floor time and experience. We still need to find some points. 77 and 78 pts isn't going to cut it while Tony and Manu are out.

    2.9 Mil huh....Ouch.

    Interesting. So watch Pop play Bonner for 30 Minutes a game, and keep feeding him the ball, to make him impressive trade bait.

    Bonner goes for 18/6/6 a game.....and RC sends the league-wide email.

    Listen, our boy Bonner is lighting this biatch up over here. Seriously, now we know why get got the name Red Rocket.

    Just in case you haven't noticed. MB is going for 18/6/6 the last 15 games. I mean solid #'s.

    Here's the deal. Him and Duncan were goofing around, and they decided to play a prank on Pop about Timmy being injured. Yesterday at practice, during the middle of 5 on 5 drills. Matt and Timmy decide to get into a fake arguement, and Bonner pushes him. Timmy pulls a Manu and pretends to be knocked out. Pop LOST it......I mean Lost it. It took Me, Chip, and Mason to hold him back.

    Long story short, after we calmed him down and they guys told him it was all a prank, Pop still didn't find it funny, and he's going to pull Marbury like benching....Seriously, it's some major drama for reals!

    So, let me know, because Pop wants him gone by next week. I'm open to all offers, except from you Cuban. You and I both know why, no need to rehash it here again.

    On another note, anybody got a chance to download the new Kanye West CD? It's pretty solid. Go get it on limewire

    Holla at ya boy...

    btw. playing young guys now can pay off only when the old guys will brng it a the end of a season.

    I don't think we can rely on youngsters to do a 'massive' job winning the whole thing.

    2 Games like that so far.
    The Parker 55 was huge.

    But this was the 1st win they had were it was a "Believe" factor.

    Loving where they are at now.

    Looks like Bonner is good enough to stay too.

    Bonner played another good game last night as well.

    Our game against the Rockets had pretty much the same effect for our club. Big Ups to the Rox!

    The Rockets win was a good win, but really it wasn't anything to get excited about. Houston is usually a team we're expected to go out and beat and we did. Just taking care of business, beating a team we're supposed to beat.
