    If we win tonight, this series is over. The Jazz simply aren't good enough to suddently win 4 out of 5 games against a team they won't have come anywhere close to beating in 6 tries this year.

    Why? The Pelicans look like they'll be lucky to get 1 game from the Warriors.

    We can't afford to lose unnecessary games and end up playing a rested Warriors squad in the WCF.

    If the Rockets go up 2-0, the series is likely over(2007 ain't happening again, folks). But it doesn't mean Utah couldn't extend the Semifinals if the Rockets get lackadaisical.

    Dear basketball Gods,

    Please make the refs for tonight's game be at least somewhat fair to our team.

    This seems to be our year but we never take your blessings for granted.

    So pumped, did my workout in the morning so I can watch the game tonight without having to had miss the gym.
    That said the bench really needs to come through tonight! These Harden and Paul take over games are mad fun but its even more fun when Ryno, Gerald, EG, Joe Johnson ,if he plays, and Nene come through offensively.
    A loss tonight isn't bad but I'd rather us go back to Utah up 2 than 1-1. I hate Utah, not the Jazz, Utah.

    Brothers is the worst ref in the league in my opinion. Too bad. That just means we have to blow them out. Don't give Brothers a chance to cost us the game!

    Chris Paul and Scott Foster have beef. Brothers tries to screw Harden every chance he gets by calling offensive fouls. Bennie Adams also sucks ass. Warriors getting all the preferential refs (60 to 20 free throw advantage in that series so far).

    Foster officiated that infamous Clippers game where the rookie played with 6 fouls and hounded Harden all game. Brothers did the infamous Celtics game where Harden got 2 offensive calls in 5 seconds.

    We tried that with the celtics. And brothers still got them the win.

    Couldn't have picked a worse group of officials.

    Am I off basis, or does Mitchell only go to his right? If so, pretty simple adjustment for Bzdelik, I hope.

    Bay Area media thinks Brothers/Foster will help the Rockets. LOL

    Nah, we got sloppy in the 3rd and started playing lazy. It was close due to our poor play, but Brothers won it for them at the end.

    Utah's David Locke with some interesting stats.

    If the main issue is corporate seats not being filled in time for the start, then cheap food and booze isn’t going to get them there early. That’s going on the company cards anyway

    Tony Brothers in a Rockets/Jazz playoff Game 2 at Toyota Center is definitely not gonna help the Rockets. We have historical evidence of this. Skip ahead to the 1:15 mark for the infamous screwjob that arguably cost us that series:
