    You could say that if we had Hakeem cause he has the heart of a champion not with ol' McDonut cause he needs to visit Oz and get one!

    The Rockets will IF they have the lead at halftime. The Rockets have not lead in any of the playoff games against Utah including last years games. Rockets have had two good days to go over film. I want to see what changes to the game plan coach RA comes up with.

    Many people think T-Mac needs to carry the team in order to win. T-Mac did in game 2. But the Rockets front court plays were subpar. If the Rockets front court, ie Deke/Scola/Landry/Hayes, cant come up with some better productions, I dont see the Rockets have a chance to take one game. Just make the layups, for christ sake.

    I think Rox by 12. If it's close I'm afraid they will pull something out of their a**es (see Korver luck shot, offense foul call on Scola as we tie, etc) to beat us. We HAVE to make our damn free throws though. Theres are reason they call the FREE! They are FREE points and we kill ourselves by missing so many. I'm afraid if we don't run away with it, we lose another heartbreaker. Come on Rafer and Tmac, be leaders!

    We can't go down 3-0, so this is it! The season is on the line today!

    I'm not nervous at all though, because I feel zero pressure, and I know the players must feel the same way. EVERYONE is counting us out. Just winning one of these games would be enough for me at this point, just to extend the series and play again at home.

    DAMNIT! If we somehow win one of these games, Game 5 will be on NBATV unless a sweep occurs in other series.

    R2K, I'll need you more than ever if that situation arises.

    I would also like to make a request for anyone to also upload soundbites of Geno and Jim. This could be their 2nd to last game! I'm not in Houston and I can't hear them.

    Please someone record them and have them available. At least mention the best calls and the end of our elimination.

    The sooner we get out of the state of Utah, the better. What a bunch of clueless imbeciles.

    Are you bleeping kidding me? As if playing @ Utah isn't bad enough.

    UCK FUTAH!

    Get em. Man T-mac needs to play like he did and the others just need to step their game up so t-mac can get a little more rest. Hopefully rafer is back and referees Kirilenko FLOPS.

    I think Game 3 will be the showdown between the coaches.

    Will sloan keep on playing the same tactic on Tmac and on teh rockets? most likely, if it's not broke why fix it?

    Now, How will Aldelman counter a shorted handed roster, questionable alston, and tired tmac?

    how will AD counter the defense Jazz placed on Tmac?

    Tmac were chased by different defenders until he's exhausted in 4th quarter.
    How will the rest of the rest respond and speel Tmac rest time for 4th quarter?

    The battle of the coaches continues...

    Only way the Rockets win is if they stop running JVG's freaking pick-n-roll offense :mad:. What happened to the ball movement, cuts to the basket, 3 point shooting????? Go back to that or scrap it all together and just tell t-mac to go out there in attack mode and shoot every single time!!! I think his shooting is off b/c he concentrates more on trying to make plays for teammates than scoring.

    Clutch CITY III starts tonight!!! Go Rockets!!!

    Rockets 91-82 Jazz
