I'm not as optimistic as last year, even though the Rockets have a much better team this season. The Rockets lost the reg. season series last year and they lost it again this year. I predict a repeat that the Jazz will win in 7, although I hope I'm wrong.
You guys are great fans, but you're all crazy. Jazz in 4 or 5. It hurts to say it, but there's not a lot to be positive about with this match-up. Outside of the Phoenix game, we've played like complete shat against legit Western Conference teams since the streak.
Rockets in 5. This team defied logic the whole season. And we're gonna do it again. In order to win this series, we have to be PHYSICAL with their weak ass players. And that's what they are. Losers. Weak minded. Pathetic. Floppers. Utah. Where losers happen. But Dallas is only one Southwest plane flight away.
Jazz are better than last year, and taking all the injuries into account, I'd say we're worse than last year. Jazz in 5 or 6.
I said Rockets in 6 because I believe that this team will be able to overcome McGrady's 37% shooting during the series. I also predict no matter how timidly or lethargic Tmac is all of the same people will keep making the same excuses for him.
I'd be shocked if we win ANYTHING in Utah, at the same time I would be very suprised if they win ANYTHING in Houston... So Houston in 7 , hope I am right.
Why no sweep option? Rockets are sick and tired of losing to the Jazz. The Rockets have not proven that they can beat the Jazz in a playoff series. The Rockets are expected to lose to the Jazz. Perfect scenario for a team that loves playing with a chip on it's shoulder. Rockets will sweep! 4-0!
nope not in the playoffs. if he sucks like he has, either he has to improve tremendously in the off-season or else he has to be moved some way or another. i've given him a pass for the reg. season b/c he has been such a tremendous playoff performer (all-world). but if he can't become all-world even in the playoffs, why keep him?
I think we can at least win 1 or 2 games. They no longer have fisher, who is a key factor last year, and we don't have Yao, who is replaced by two much more mobile rookies Carl and Scola. Both of them can stay with Boozer and Okur defensively. The biggest problem without Yao is that we have much less options in scoring the ball. however, if we can defend well, keep their score low as well, we might just win.
