    Nope. Tucker has said their defense has been inconsistent despite results. They aren't trying to give up these open 3s.

    just going off the tone of voice of the ESPN commentator, I would think the Jazz were up double digits. I dont think its intentional, maybe just the home crowd is infectious.

    A HUGE quarter by the Jazz and they're up by 2pts. LOL
    only concern is the number of fouls and not hitting 3s.

    Under the circumstances, we're only down by 2..... and we haven't got going yet. When Harden starts shooting well (which he will), we'll win this game comfortably.

    Our rotations to 3 point shooters has been really poor this game.

    Luckily, they are missing open looks.

    On the other hand, their rotation on our shooters has been excellent.

    Jazz missed a lot of open looks. That wasn't there best and if the Rockets don't pick up the play and Utah goes on a hot streak they take this game. Can't let that happen.

    I knew he couldn't play against the warriors but I thought he'd be useful in most other series. he blew that rebound just now but has played 2 good games in a row. I think he'll have another good one tonight.

    Is this the traditional playoff clunker from Harden or will he get it together? We will soon find out.

    The Rox need to stay Steady let them burn thru their emotional charge and then bring the hammer down. Utah is playing with a lot of pride the Rox just need to be solid and let the game come to them

    We have been slow on rotations to open shooters most of the series, they have been missing open looks all series.

    Harden needs to open up the mid range tonight.

    Jazz played their minds out and Rockets only down 2. I ain't worried. We got this!
