Another team fighting for the playoffs and fired up after being blown out by us. Gotta come out guns blazing.
Lets start the best extendend weekend of basketball of the year off with a big win for the Rockets! Rockets 118 Jazzholes 103
I don't watch the Jazz nor do I know much about them. Do they have any good 3 point shooters besides Mo Williams? Can we hide Harden on anyone? I know that Millsap and Jefferson will probably wreak havoc inside, so hopefully Asik and D-mo are suited up and ready to take the hit.
Rest assured that the Jazz remember the worst home loss by 45 points by the Rockets. Just like the Warriors remembered the 23 3-point tying record by the Rockets. Huge game. Hopefully the rockets players realize that and do not start slow. If we beat the Jazz we win the tie breaker and the series 3-1.
I'm pretty scared. I didn't really think Golden State played well enough to beat a playoff team, and they beat us by 30. Stomped us by 20 in the first half, then played lackadaisically and let us catch up, then stomped us by 30 in the second half. But, that has to be the bottom . . .
A big test for our young team. The pressure is on them, let's hope they handle it well this time. I think they will.
meh, thats why you are perpetually puzzled, fan. Rockets beat them 3 out of 4 games including a 30 pt win and they tied the record for 3 pointers in a game--humiliating the warriors in the process. I think it's just more evidence of the Rockets being "young and inexperienced" more than anything. The team will get more consistent with experience and hopefully this year will prime us for a legitimate run next season which I think we could do, even with the team as currently constructed. Lets hope the "blow-you-out-before-you-know-what-hit-ya" Rockets show up tonight!
Man do we need this. We got a rough 4 game stretch coming up next week against elite teams. We need to win all our games before then. But I like our chances, Jazz are in free fall and just lost to the Knicks, who were missing half their roster. Win this win and it may just take the Jazz out completely. Go Rockets!
I want to see James score 18 points but put a great effort on defense tonight. DMo is going to have a career high tonight.:grin: Darn it, I miss Toney.:grin:
If the good Rockets show up, we will blow them out. If the bad Rockets show up, we will be blown out. It's that simple.
I want some hard nosed defense to be played. If the injury riddled Knicks can beat them playing that type of defense, I want the Rockets to do this too. We need to practice our defense.
we can beat the jazz. and they are struggling. but this type of game is also the perfect recipe for a home loss. i know the jazz are embarrassed by how bad we whooped them in salt lake. they will come to play. just like the warriors.
I don't think there's any way rockets get blown out in this one, but you're right that this team can be like Jekyll ad Hyde. U don't know if they'll show up or not.
