    DANG......anyone want to guess if I can hold out and not look at the score on the I-phone?


    I do it all the time, but it's one of the hardest things I've ever done. You have to turn the radio and tv off and not look at your text cause friends always try to ruin it for you.

    I hate the Jazzholes soooooooooo much. I hope we take the first two home games and then go to their POS arena with their freaking annoying fans and rip their hearts out. Seriously though, I think this will be a very tough, up and down series with us coming out victorious in 7. LETS GO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm going to be in Toledo Ohio for this game. I don't know how that will effect the cosmic mojo. The game will be on late there, but I'll be whooping it up cheering the Rockets on.

    i was courtside for the heartbreak last year in game 7

    REVENGE!!!! :mad:

    ROx 1-0

    Vanilla_Ice's 5 Keys to Success​


    1. Tracy Mcgrady - No matter how much depends on the team this year, we still need T-Mac to come up big on the big stage. We need him to play smart and mix it up with drives and jumpers. We need him to be a playmaker if not a scorer. We need him to be able to pass the rock well to set others up and to take over scoring duties when we go on droughts.

    2. Frontcourt - Utah is a very physical team and our front court must not only match their intensity but one up it. There is also absolutely no way we can give up as many offensive rebounds as we did the last time we played them. Our hopes on success will lay big time on Scola, Landry, and Hayes. Our Backcourt will also have to stay on guard as to not let Utah's inside-outside game kill us.

    3. Rookies - We have arguably the best crop of rookies in the entire league. However they have never in their careers played on such a stage where intensity will be this high and so much at stake. Yes even more so then the NCAA tournament. It is vital that AB, Landry, Scola and Harris play smart, stay calm, and do everything asked of them. Their success can really help set a tone the rest of the way.

    4. Shooting - This is probably the area that I am most concerned about. It is simple, good shooting = wins. This means no more 2-11 nights for tmac, 0-7 nights from head, 8-28 nights from 3 point range, and in the name of god FREE THROWS. Defense will already be at a high level and we can not let the easy points get away from us.

    and most importantly

    5. PLAYOFF ATMOSPHERE - We are in the playoffs!! This should be enough motivation for the team. We need to see a team out there who is hustling, inspired, and smart for all 48 minutes of each and every game, no matter the score. We need to dive harder for every ball, jump higher for every rebound, and play more determined then ever before. We need to give it 300% and leave everything on the court every night, If we lose this series we better go down swinging. The fans also fall into this category, we need to inspire them, we need to motivate them, we need to keep Toyota Center the loudest it's ever been for all 48 minutes of every game no matter the score. We don't let down, then our team won't let down.

    If we can manage to do everything right and believe that we can do it then I see no reason for us not to win, AND BELIEVE ME HOUSTON WE WILL WIN.

    Rockets need to prove doubters wrong this year... They need to show everybody that they can win the chip this year even without Yao

    Disarm the AK-47! Let's introduce our enemies to the LS-4, which has more range and performs better under hostile conditions. Rockets by 13!

    Toyota Center's been very loud at times this year(mostly during "The Streak"). And Houston fans HATE HATE HATE the Jazz. Trust me, it'll be insane in that building Saturday night.

    I just hope with the 8:30 start time that all the seats are full at tipoff.
