Yeah! Obligatory **** the Jazz!

[rockets137]

With rest more than 3 days plus home court advantage, this game should be ours !!!
and just like that we will back to 0.5

Hell PPat will record a new high score again

[pnr]

Lose if Chandler doesn't play.

The big question , how quick we will be in adapting to Parsons missing?

[torocan]

Hrm, the Jazz are a good team but I suspect that the Rockets have a good chance to come out with a win.

According to Synergy Sports, Utah ranks as follows...

Defense

P&R ball handlers - 24th
P&R roll man - 2nd
Spot-up - 27th
Off Screen - 26th
Cut - 21st
Offensive Rebounds - 23rd
Transition - 5th

Based off this, I expect Harden and Lin to carve them up off the P&R, but mostly from kick and shoots vs Asik rolling.

Their low ranking vs Spot Up, Off Screen and Cut seems to show a lack of defensive awareness against moving players as well as limited effectiveness against spot up shooting.

I wouldn't be surprised if PPat, Harden and Morris to do very well.

Asik may have reduced scoring due to their ability to guard the rim, but we *should* own them on the boards.

Offensively, Utah appears to be mediocre except in terms of their P&R roll man (5th in the league). Given that we're 30th in the league in terms of defending P&R rollers (size will be an issue), I expect Utah to go to the rim often.

My guess is that this could be a very close match up.

The Jazz front court dominated the Rox front court last time. I want to see how Sampson works his magic this time.

[Karolik]

I would be VERY disappointed if we lose to this team. The Jazz are basically the Washington Wizards on the road.

Should be an easy win

Or the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference

Are we going to see another 37-minute from Cook?

I think he should sit out til the spurs game. We can still take on the jizz and we're not going to win against the lakers. Plenty of days to recover in between .

To hold the grudge against somebody, is to offer that person rent free place in your mind.

[pnr]

I hope CHandler doesn't rush back and risk reaggravating it. I think if Delfino starts, he can maybe make up the points that Chandler would have provided. Let's hope so at least.
