Bright side - I have tickets to game 5 in Houston, so now I definitely get to go! And hopefully clinch!!
I just got goosebumps! Anyways, 2 straight wins to close it out now, besides a sweep in a 7 game series is pretty tough, just ask the Suns, Mavs, and Spurs...
some bright spots. Rockets played horrible in every aspect. They were outhustled and i think the jazz got a few favorable calls. Despite all that, the game was still winnable.
Our offense has been bad for the past 3 games, hopefully the law of average will pull us out in next two, and even the next round
The Tmac in Game3 was a disappointing tmac. His shooting percentage was really terrible. He should step up and penetrate more into the inside. I believe that he will makee adjustments in the next game. Go Rockets, Go Tmac!
lol. yeah. I was starting to think after game 1 and 2..."where are the flops"?! okur really stepped it up.
seriously! im screaming the entire time, "that's derek fisher!" or "that's gordon giricek!" if t-mac has any pride, he'll eventually wake up and realize he's being guarded by guys that can't hold a candle to him, that putting giricek on him is a slap in the face and major disrespect, and that even with his diminished athletic capacity tmac can STILL burn anybody on the jazz team with ease. we saw it in game 2 when he attacked the basket. derek fisher consistently gets glued to the ground and giricek...seriously, do i need to say any more. TMAC STOP BAILING THEM OUT WITH YOUR JUMPER, TAKE IT IN BECAUSE CAN'T NOBODY ON THE JAZZ TEAM STOP YOU!
The bright side is: performance wise the team has absolutely hit the rock bottom. They have made history by haveing only 4 of them scored in a playoff game. From here on, there is no place to go but up!!!! SI
i agree to a point that tmac needs to be more aggresive driving to the basket but lets take a look at it seriously... no one is making any outside shots at all and as im sure everyone is noticing, the lane is clogged when he takes a step forward. as soon as someone starts hitting from the outside, then i can see tmac being more aggresive. he cant do much of anything right now aside from charging into guys leaving our outside shooters. he does settle but sometimes theres more than that. the good thing is that we cant shoot like this all round, throughout the playoffs...if so then the rockets deserve to lose. if you want to take a closer look at something else, yao was roughed up. the jazz were getting away with alot of pushing and all yao had to do, was turn around for a hook to get called for offensive foul. yao was outmatched the whole game by a combination of the refs and the jazz bigmen. he should be expected more play similiar to last night and he better be ready. we need him to be just as aggresive, if the refs allow him to be, as tmac...
