Hmmm… where to begin? It was pretty much a crap game all the way around. The guys looked like they didn’t care and, to be honest, who can blame them. These guys are used to playing about a season and a half every year. And this is game 4 of 82 in the regular season. Still… it’s hard to not get a little upset about their attitude. Regardless here are my reasons to fear the Rockets:
- Yao gets better every year; if only they could teach him to dunk every time he’s within arms reach of the basket (which is quite often)
- What the hell is Bonzi’s problem? The only time he resembles a good player is against the Spurs. The rest of the time he just resembles a lost puppy. A very ugly puppy.
- T-Mac is still a Spur killer as much as I hate to say it.
- Scola’s overrated
So you’re thinking that I’m thinking that the Rockets are a good team huh? Foo, you outta yer mind! That said, here’s my reasons not to fear the Rockets:
- Yao doesn’t know to dunk every time he’s near the basket
- Bonzi is Bonzi, only a matter of time now til he throws some kind of tantrum
- T-Mac is weak when it matters
- Steve “The Franchise” Francis (does that nickname work anymore?) is lurking in the background, waiting to bring everything crashing down
- Rick Adelman is also weak when it matters (sorry, it had to be said)
- I like lists
Oh and there was this too…
So no worries Spurs fans! Let them have their victory; it was a good one for their team. Just have faith that the men in black will bring it when it matters.

So here it goes, my first real post and for such a huge occasion I’ve decided to go after the organization for the one thing that NEEDS to change, that MUST change. The one thing which, if changed, could guarantee many, many more rings. And that is…
A New Entrance Song!
The Spurs have been using Get Ready for This by 2 Unlimited. Who’s that you ask? Hell if I know, if I built a time machine and traveled back to the 80’s and asked the first person I see, I doubt they would know. But for the sake of being thorough… here’s the video.
I guess the GM at the time thought this was the best song on the ESPN’s Jock Jams collection he thoroughly researched but I think a change is needed, so I’ve taken it upon myself to select 4 options for the franchise. You can thank me later Mr. Holt.
Option #1 : AC/DC - Back in Black
The obvious choice but I think for a good reason.
Pros: Great classic song, hard guitar riff to start, seems to signify defending champ status
Cons: Old song, singer’s voice may irritate some, Angus probably not available to perform his hopstep move before every home game
Option #2 : Fort Minor - Remember the Name
This song sums up the Spurs mentality great; unfortunately it’s already used in a load of commercials
Pros: lyrics match the Spurs personality perfectly, has an intimidation factor, cool strings accompaniment
Cons: in TNT’s NBA commercial, kinda slow, takes a little while to start
Option #3 : John Williams - The Imperial March
The one thing the Cav’s did right in last years Finals. I imagine they used this song to make us appear as the bad guys but I thought it fit perfectly with the crew. Dressed in black, implying the Spurs as the Empire, intimidating as hell. Maybe Timmy can come out in a dark hood…
Pros: Star Wars is cool, playing up the Empire aspect, lightsabres??
Cons: I’m a dork… that’s pretty much it
Option #4 : Korn - Blind
My personal favorite, although the lyrics don’t relate much aside from that first “Are You Ready.” After that they could just repeat the bass line for player intros.
Pros: Heavy. Awesome bass line. Somehow reminds me of the culture of San Antonio?
Cons: Previously mentioned lyrics. That’s it.
Songs I Would Have Loved But Would Never Be Used For Various Reasons
Metallica’s cover of Queen’s Stone Cold Crazy - they’d never go for it
Pantera’s Walk - unfortunately Pantera is known as Dallas’ band, too bad for them; also a ripoff of this song was used previously in something called sports/entertainment (whatever that means)

He just needs an open court to do it…

I really just wanted to test out embedded YouTube clips.
