60% of teams that win first 2 games at home lose game 3

The Rockets will also have to be prepared to get a ton of fouls called against them and watch Utah get away with murder, if history is any indication.

But if the threes fall, the Rockets will win. Today's game just shows that the three's don;t HAVE to fall for the Rockets to win.

 

But 94% of the teams that win the first 2 games win the series.

 

Don't forget that we went up 2-0 against Dallas two years ago. Not that this Jazz team is the same as that one, but we all got ahead of ourselves that year.

 

That's true for DET especially, I heard them talking about it after today's game. DET lose game 3 most of the time after going up 2-0.

 

I hope Rox can win one of the next two games at Utah, and close the series in game five. Great win tonight. Great day to be a Rox fan

 

i'm not sure exactly where the caution is coming from, but i don't see how the jazz can match tmac and yao's production. and judging from what people are saying they are judging this series against a possible mavs. get this one over with first.

no way the jazz can match yao and tmac in a 7 game series, they just do not have the firepower or the will. who is going to save the jazz? kirilenko?????? HE was their second option. now it's boozer and boozer.

so goo luck rox fans in trying to convince me that somehow jazz are going to take this series in any shape or form

 

Well no team has ever come back from 3-0 in the NBA so game 3s are huge

 

do u trust these stats that they put up when we blew a 2-0 lead?

if we play our game, we're fine. we've have been getting away w/ these games w/ our D. and our D is so good that it can give us these games.

but we need to shoot better.

 

In play offs, these stats mean pretty much nothing.

The game 3 will decide.

 

They will

 

we'll be one of the 40%,and sweep jazz

 

Correct.The Jazz will be desperate for a win that's why our guys will have to be at the top of their game.

 

Stats don't matter much with these things, because they're comprised of so many different type of matchups.

That said, the Rockets have to play a great all-around game in Utah to win. Because Utah's offense is going to come alive with their crowd, and the refs are going to call more their way. Yao and T-Mac need to be more efficient and we got to drain the 3s. I can't believe we're 2-0 when our 3 point shooting has been so horrendous.

 

how about we lost to MAVS 2yrs ago ?
lets pretend 0-0 and play game by game!

 

The Rockets have not played very well, and they are up 2-0 in this series. I think they will shoot the ball better on the road.

 

To be honest, I'm kinda worried heading into Game 3. Either we make this a statement game by beating them on their turf or we play an ugly game and allow the Jazz to gain some momentum. We all know we're not going to get very far in the playoffs unless someone steps up as our third scorer AND we get more contribution from our bench.

 

Almost exactly my thoughts.

Guys Boozer is gonna go off like tonight 1 outta every 2 games i would predict. Meaning 1/2 the games. Realize if he doesn't, they are losing, they just wasted 1 of his, now he may get 2-3 more of these. We have proven we can win even with these huge nights from Boozer... this series is over.

I guarentee we will win at least 1 game in Utah, there is no doubt in my mind, we are winning this series in 5. (I have made 10-20 bets on NBA so far in playoffs I haven't lost, you can bank these words, BTW if you want my picks send me a msg, I'll tell u exactly what to bet, u will win money).

 

the mavs always had weapons, rox being up 2-0 was really a huge surprise. This time, noone is shocked rox are up 2-0. tottaly different situations
