    THAT...MADE...MY...DAY! :D

    We did something tonight we couldn't even do WITH Yao last season against the Jazz in Utah: WIN!

    This win tonight is right up there with the greatest Rocket memories I have from the last ten seasons plus. I could die a happy man tonight.

    Whatever happens moving forward, just remember this: cherish this team and their 'never say die' attitude. I don't remember the last time a Rockets team had that kind of attitude...it's been a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time coming.

    Hey man this was a true team victory. Everyone stepped up and carried T-Mac instead of the other way around. T-Mac helped almost put it away, you have to respect that determination. The only gripe I have is that shot over Boozer. The previous shot I will not begrudge him. He was on fire. The shot over Boozer was ridiculous, though.

    It's a moot point. If we didn't let those 3's happen that game was well over. We just got to go out and do it again.

    Oh and by the way I have never felt as giddy over a guy as I have for CARL LANDRY RIGHT NOW. That is an INSANE play. You get popped in the face by a buff girl, lose a tooth, come back, REBOUND WITH A PURPOSE, take it to FLOPLINKO, Block Deron's game winner AND GET THE SAVE FROM OUT OF BOUNDS INTO THE HANDS OF A ROCKET!!!!!!

    wowowowowowowowowoowowowowowowowowowowowowowoowowow.

    I also liked when Chuck said, "We should just show this game like three times instead of those other games".

    Good point.

    Adelman made some brilliant moves this game. I like how he put Jackson on Deron for a while in second half. Bobby is lot more physical with Deron. I also like the adjustments he has made with Korver. Korver is the key to the Jazz. He spreads the floor for everyone.

    Despite being short handed, the Rockets have kept the games close. Last year, they were getting blown out in Utah. This year, without Yao, they beat them in Utah while trailing going into the 4th quarter.

    He is not getting a lot of notice but Adelman has been brilliant.

    Yeah that was cool the way he looks at Rafer with that tough scowl on Landry's face.

    btw, he was making that face before Rafer kissed him.
    he made that face because he blocked the shot.

    If there's one lesson we learned from our team this season. We aren't the type to throw in the towel and always believe!
