San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets - The Game Thread

Breakdown

• Point Guard - Brooks may have the quickness to slow Tony down a bit. But Tony could break out his post game against the diminutive opponent.
• Off Guard - If Battier doesn't want Roger to score, he won't.
• Center - With Tim appearing to be slowed somewhat, this is almost a draw.
• Power Forward - Luis is just playing like a maniac this year. He's scoring, rebounding, and defending. He will dominate this matchup and the Rockets don't have anybody to compare. Oh wait, you mean he isn't a Spur? He plays for the Rockets? Fuck.
• Small Forward - Old Man Fin vs Crazy Ass Ron. Again, if Ron doesn't want Fin to score, he won't.
• Bench - Their bench is solid. Von Wafer is a player. Did you know that?
• Coach - Landslide for Pop.
• Intangibles - The Rockets played a tough game in Charlotte last night.
• Mojo - We'll be rocking the Purrfecta I hope.
• Winner - Spurs in the clutch.

Keys To The Game

• Limiting Yao - We will have to be creative in finding ways to not let Yao own us in the paint.
• Tim - Will Tim be able to make Yao work OR dominate Scola? He hasn't looked spry lately, so I'm suspicious.
• Bonner - Where has he been? We could use one of those 18 point game from him.
