LOGO WATCH #REDnation Episode...ROCKETS try to hold onto the #7 Seed in the WEST as the visiting SPURS try to stay #1 in the WEST #SASvsHOU w/PLAYBOOK ..."Don't Mess with TEXAS"

The Houston Rockets as we go to press would be playing the Young Gunz OKC in the Opening Round of Winning Time if the Playoffs started Today. That would make for some interesting Drama as "Respect the Beard" #13 would have a shot at possibly eliminating his old squad. The Spurs are the 2nd best Team in the NBA and the #1 Seed in the West as we go to press and they have Point God TP9 back on the Hardwood.

PLAYBOOK

Let's get right to the particulars in this one as the Rockets are only one game behind the #6 Seed in the WEst #DUBnation of GSW and getting the #6 seed in the West eliminates you from playing OKC and the Spurs in the 1st round. The Spurs are just trying to stay away from OKC and get that Home Court Advantage throughout the West Winning Time.

LINsanity of #REDnation will have to keep tabs on Spurs PG TP9 as the Spurs go as TP9 goes. He looked like TP9 in their OT Win on Friday Night and the Rockets must contain him. "Respect the Beard" 13 will get D.G. of AT&T and the Spurs just need to make it difficult for Harden to get in his spots. Keep him out of transition opportunities as well as splash plays. They will also throw possibly Manu, Kawhi, and De Colo at him to give him a different look as well as for the Spurs a fresh body on him.

Chandler Parson will get Kawhi Leonard which pits to young Talented small forwards coming into their own. Parsons must keep K.L. out of transition and run him off the Arc. Parsons will fill the stat sheet up as he doesn't have to score to impact the game and neither does K.L. of the Spurs.

Dunc and Splitter must be contained from a rebounding standpoint and that High/Low they run with Splitter much-improved. The Rockets Big Asik is a Big Body and must play Big against both Spurs Front Court players. The Wild Card for the Rockets is what other front court player will help Asik and will it be Rookie Thomas Robinson?

Both Teams know what's at stake moving forward and the only thing you can control is our Business. The Loser its instant consequences. The Winner will impact the Team they are following or the Teams that are following them its that simple as we get to Mid-April.
