The thing is, if this many "casual" fans of other teams are noticing how horrid he is... what are the people who are actually watching these games intently thinking? What is TNT thinking?
AK47 will be the decider in this series. He is already into the Warrior's players head each time they drive. It will only get worse.
The Jazz stole this game. The Warriors made so many bad decisions I don't know where to begin; very low basketball IQ. If the Warriors bring this every game and don't play so dumb, they will win the next 4. I don't think the Jazz can play any better and they barely squeaked out the win at home.
good game all around i was hoping the warriors would pull it off, the jazz once again got some home cooking. i felt there were times when jackson drove and had contact but nothing was called and the loose ball fouls on the jazz which helped them get all those offensive rebounds. of course deron's fifth foul which should have been a breakaway as the ball was in the air to davis when the foul was committed. that being said the warriors had their shot to win this game, but couldnt take advantage the jazz played their style it bodes well to their chances in this series i am not sure how much of a difference fisher will make, post defense on one of their two guards yes will help.
I dont know how I feel, I mean I hate jazz, but I feel pretty good seeing they win the game, at least we lost to a great team.
it's all about penetrations. Deron Williams did it all night and got the win. Baron drove to the basket halfway and kicked out and get the lose.
Interesting to hear Sloan said that he JUST learned in the last few weeks that his team is not good at walking the ball up the court and recently changed to pushing the ball up the court faster.
If Fisher plays, I think the Jazz will lose the game. Fisher really wont play well in fast pace game. He even sucked in round 1.
So the statlines for the starting point guards in the first 2 games of the 2nd round are: Tony Parker: 32pts (14-22fg) 8 assists Steve Nash: 31pts (11-18fg) 8 assists Deron Williams: 31pts, 8 assists Baron Davis: 24pts, 7 assists Anybody that still doesn’t think this is a point guards league is just kidding themselves. The Rockets don’t just need to find themselves a starting caliber point guard. The need a point guard that’s at least a top 15 point guard.
NO! Rafer for 3! Rafer for 3! Rafer for 3! Rafer for 3! Rafer for 3! Rafer for 3! Rafer for 3! your pg's job is to jack up 3s!
If Rockets were playing these Warriors... -Baron Davis would have torn a couple new holes in Rafer. -Yao would have been huffing and puffing. -Yao would be limited to less than 10 shot attempts. They would double him without the ball and just play zone. End result.... Rafer for 3 Rafer for 3 Rafer for 3 Rafer for 3 Rafer for 3.... Where have I read this before? -Warriors would keep rotating their wings on Tmac... Barnes, Jackson, Richardson. -Rockets would be fatigued by 3rd quarter. These young Warriors would just tire them out. -Juan guarding one of Warrior's wing players anyone?? *eek!* Honestly, I think Rockets saved themselves some embarassment in the second round from this nightmare matchup. Also, our series would not have gone 7 games if Sloan would have used AK47 earlier. They would have won one of the earlier games in Houston. I think he has realized by now that AK is essential to their success.
I see the opposite. Jazz may not be better jump shooting team than the warriors but they are superior rebounding team that will make up their miss shots. Plus, this Jazz are better defending team than Mavs. I bet my money on Jazz to win the series but this one will definitely goes to game 6 or 7. The playoffs series wont start until the road team wins!
