Brooks will have a good night. Scola will dominate Blair. Budinger should have a good game too. Hopefully the Spurs dont turn the ball over so much.

splitter will block scola three times
scola also will pick up 2 fouls on the o end because of splitter

Enough blame to go around
Rockets feel sense of urgency over opening skid

..."We need a win, however, whatever, whoever is the next opponent," center Yao Ming said Thursday. "We need a win. I think I'm hungry on this. My teammates are hungry on this. Our fans are hungry on this. I cannot go to sleep because of that."

If I was a betting man, given the Rockets troubles, I would bet on the Spurs. Cause right now we suck. Rockets are completely discombobulated.

I think that the coaches and players for the Rockets are coming out with their game faces on. I expect the Rockets to come out at Playoff Intensity. Expect a hard fought game with hard fouls. The Rockets to come out swinging.

Who wins this is anybody's guess.

i think the spurs will win, but i agree. "rivals" always go hard on the spurs. rockets will be desperate. watch out sa

[howbouthemspurs]

The spurs always play down to the rockets level.. slow and crappy! its goin to be a tough game especially if the spurs continue to make stupid turnovers

[TDMVPDPOY]

this is a must win for us

we dont need the rockets to get a win here, lets continue with the lottery

[ElNono]

trap game

[jiggy_55]

Blair is going to get back his mojo with a double double tonight, and he'll back to beasting again for the rest of the season.

[DrSteffo]

Just win this stupid game against a prospect team.

[BlackBellamy]

Does KENS have an affiliate in Austin?

[99-03-05-07]

[noob cake]

[8FOR!3]

I'm going to the Spurs/Rockets game tonight. Are you guys ready to begin el era de Chris Quinn? lol, I can rhyme and pretend to speak Spanish!

[Indazone]

Looks like Morey has assembled his Championship calibur team

[elbamba]

trap game.

Amen. Spurs are suppossed to win this game and Houston has nothing to lose.

This Spurs team seems focused so I still look to see them win by 10+. Our bench is playing to well right now and I could see Neal and Anderson going for about 20 points combined tonight.
