    Such a frustrating game. I have never been so frustrated. Luis Scola with so many mental mistakes. Missed free throws! Leaving Okur at the half and always trying to go for the steal. And Luther Head is absolutely useless.

    How many points did T-Mac made in the last two 4th quarters? 1? Am I wrong? That explain it all.

    Ask Duncan how to carry your own team...

    DD is there a reason you feel the need to be nice to jazz fans on their forums.

    I bet scola missed half of those missed lay ups. He just looked so bad, flat....., does not seem to receive proper training at all.

    If Bobby J or a Rookie from Argentina is the 2nd option after T-mac, you know you are out-talented. Bobby J came off the bench for Sac-Town back in 2002, for cryin' out loud...

    I agree that Scola will get better....but he is NOT a finisher at the end of playoff games....he is what he is...a solid, scrappy hustler that will work his butt off....we need a better scorer other than TMac, and the only way that is gonna happen is through a trade.....Landry was exposed....granted he's not 100%....but all of a sudden, those that thought we might be in danger of losing him are seeing him for what he is...a solid, young kid....but would you rather have Millsap?

    i so hope tmac doesn't demand a trade this off-season. he seemed really frustrated with brooks, scola, landry, and head so far in this series by his body language.

    don't go chad johnson on us bro.

    Role players are great in reduced minutes. Having two out of your top three best players out against an elite team will show up. They won't give up. Neither should we. Let's grab one game in Utah and see what happens.

    AB is toooo short, that's it, he has no future in the NBA. Can't convert after the penetration

    Kirlilenko set a moving screen to give Okur that open shot at the half, just like the infamous Malone/Stockton moving screen.

    But when Scola gets in Kirilenko's way just a little bit, they call the foul, in Houston no less.

    Unreal.

    He was too tired! He cannot do everything by himself for the entire game!

    Don't blame him. He did everything he can do!

    We need to rebuild the team around Tmac and Yao this summer. We need more talented role players.

    I'd rather have Leon Powe, plays defense AND ROCKS the rims. Ask KG and Sam I Am about that.

    You know that part in Rocky IV where Creed is getting his skull bashed in and Rock never throws in the towel until he's dead, that's what the Rockets in the playoffs look like. I mean I wonder if they could beat the 8th seed in the East right now?

    If there was a mercy rule in the NBA than the Rockets would be allowed to forfeit the rest of this series. Boys look for the lube because it’s going to be worst than game 7 versus the Mavs. They may set a new NBA record for futility.

    Scola is a rookie power forward but has to play center a good chunk of the game. Give the man credit. He is trying.
