If SA wins tonight then it completely negates game 1 and turns game 4 into a must win. I think Parker going out is going to hurt (captain obvious, I know). But Patty is a solid replacement, but who's going to replace Patty? Who's going to be the offense when Claw sits? I really think the Rockets second team can outplay the Spurs enough to be the difference in the game. Lou hasn't been good yet and Splash had a nice 3rd (if I am remembering right) in game 1. If they get hot, watch out.

I am a little worried about our health too. Harden wasn't the same after he took a spill on a layout. I thought it was an ankle, but I think I read hip. Regardless that is going to prevent him from driving or staying in front of his defender. Anderson looks to have reinjured his wrist. Its hard to launch 29' 3s with any accuracy when you got a bum wrist.

I love Mills....he's been better than Parker overall for a couple of years now. Problem with starting him is that he meshes so well with that second unit....you hate to mess that up but Pop may not have a choice unless he is willing to throw his rookie PG in Murray to the wolves.

Harden will be solid, but this game I'm mostly worried about y'all's role players (those guys tend to do better on their home court). Now more than ever it becomes imperative that SA make Harden do almost everything himself. Need to attack him more on defense than we have been doing tbh.

Was the Anderson wrist injury actually bad? I remember him coming right back in after getting heat or cold or something on it on the bench.
