ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/21/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

great defense in the second half.

 

Congratulations to Hayes and his girl friend for his new addition to his family!

 

sweet win！！！！

 

Things need to be addressed for next game:
Offensive rebounds! Stop giving them away!
T-Mac, be great for the entire game, not just the half.
Head, next game bring your brain.
Yao, switch on the pick n rolls!
Rafer, make sure you know what to do when you drive in!


But overall, Rockets Rules!!!

 

Tracy took over when we needed it. Hayes did all the hard work, and all the little things we needed from our role players.

Great job by Yao being the steady anchor to keep us going throughout.

I don't like Harpring.

 

Is AK47 done? This could be huge because his help defense was spectacular in first half.

Deron Williams looked amazing. I think he is going to a major thorn this entire series. I think we will just have to concede 20+ points and 10+ assists to him and try to shut others down.

I was expecting more from Battier. So far he has been pretty much non-exicstant in all his playoff games. He needs to step up for long-term success.

Bozzer is intimidated by Yao. He usually double checks for yao on post up, which is good.

I hate Matt Harpring. I would love him if he was on Rockets. He is the kind of role players Rockets do need. Hard nosed, tough, and a baller.

 

In light of the 2nd half, please explain.

 

One win down, three more to go.

 

Defense carried us = Ownage = Big W!

Go Go Rockets!!!

 

Live post-game press on NBA.com, guys.

 

Jazz looked totally in disarray the whole second half.

Unless AK-47 can recover his game, we have too many horses for the Jazz at least here at home.

 

C Boozer and Okur combine 6-31. They can be this bad for every game.
We need get better on the board, they had almost 20 more shots than us.

Our team fought hard and get win, love that!

 

I think the change point was that Fisher missed his easy-2pt-shot and Tmac's back in the 2nd half

Btw, great reb by Howard and Hayes

So happy we are 1:0 now, 78% chance win the series according to the previous statistics

 

First of all, we win and that's key. Not a very good game, bad ofense in the first half, but we have Yao and Tracy, Utah have only Williams and Boozer. I'M so happy, because it's good to win the first game, especially at home. Great 2nd half for Tracy, but Yao had a perfect game too.

I hope T-Mac catches his rythm in the 2nd and he will play great 2nd game and of course we win. We can really finish this series 4-2. We nedd Yao, T-Mac.

 

what a play!
Toyamac win the game for us!!

 

LOL, this is the ''best'' layup of the year!!!

what a loser!!!

 

our role players need to shoot better.

tmac and yao shot about 47% and as a team we shot 39%. we still have ways to go. our role players just too eerratic.

 

Please, please, PLEASE!!

Deron and Rafer, change teams RIGHT NOW!!!
