    Blow the Jazz out.

    I don't care about record, it is what it is. This Rockets team has massively underwhelmed so it's a little misleading anyway.

    Go up by 10 in the 1st quarter and lead by 10 the whole game. Wire to wire outclass a team for once, instead of always ALWAYS ALWAYS playing down to their level.

    I don't remember a game they've blown out this season and I've watched most. Frankly, every time they face an inferior roster they get worked.

    How bout it?

    The Rockets being a good basketball team rather than a bad basketball team?

    Interesting theory. It just might work.

    I do agree, but perhaps we are asking too much . I only recall the Rockets "blowing-out" two teams this season . The Pelicans and Lakers , both by 20. The way it should be , but as far as losing or simply exchanging shots/leads late in the 4th quarter. I have no excuse nor explanation for either ...:confused:

    Rockets aren't a good team though.

    And 10 points? That's nothing. Starters would likely still have to play the entirety of the game.

    Spurs just beat them by 25.
    Spurs trailed once: 2-0 Jazz
    Q1: 32-22 Spurs after one(largest lead: 13)
    Q2: 68-51 Spurs at half(largest lead: 20)
    Q3: 95-74 Spurs after three(largest lead: 27)
    Q4: 123-93 Spurs win(largest lead: 25)

    What's sad is that the Spurs didn't even play Parker and LMA. Old Man Riverwalk, Kawhi and all the benchwarmers blew out the Jazz. :eek:

    Hate to break it to you but the Rockets aren't a good team. If Gobert plays the Jazz likely beat the Rockets by double digits. If Gobert plays and Howard doesn't, it'll be over before halftime.

    Jazz aren't a bad team. Especially with Gobert potentially returning tonight. That said, we *should* be eons better than them.

    just getting the win is the only thing that matters

    Utah are not a bad basketball team anyway, they are very competitive

    bad basketball teams are noncompetitive and win less than 35 percent of their games

    The first Lakers game was a 27 point blowout with some starters not playing in the 4th.

    "Do what I do...and say what I say...and make me proud!"

    "3 point shot...HEAVE!"

    "Right shoulder...BOX OUT!"

    "Alley oop....DUNK!"

    "Outlet pass....FAST BREAK!"

    "BBBBB...ARMY TRAINING, SIR!"

    Sorry...I had a "Stripes" moment. ;)

    we are the 7th seed and the jazz are the 8th seed. we're no better than them.

    do what BAD teams do to other BAD teams. make the game close and competitive!
