ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 2/11/2003

I pretty much give up predicting the outcome of a rox game.

If you somehow manage to guess them correctly.....go to see a doc, you might find mental problem.

 

If we lose both the Utah games, that means we lose the season series to Utah, and we can probably forget the playoffs unless someone else just collapses. I predict the usual: big win at home, big pounding on the road.

 

i hate utah. steve showed me something in the allstar game...it will carryover hopefully.

rockets 92

utah 84

 

If Cutino can pass like payton and Kidd did on the side tournament of the All Star Game (sorry, forgot what it was...) and spots Yao Ming theyve got a chance to ecked this one out.

Must avoid a 4rth quarter collapse and give Cato extended minutes vs. Malone.... Grfffin and taylor just wont work against the savvy vet.



Rox 94 jazz 89

 

I just hope that SF and Yao have recovered from 3 days of nonstop partying in ATL. We should win this one at home.

Rox 93-88.

 

Our chance is not good. Steve and Yao must be tired after all those parties while Malone and Stockton are well rested.

 

The Jazz are jealous of the All Stars. They will take it out on the Rox. Jazz 114-Rockets 102.

 

All the Jazz have to do is to make Yao misses the first 2 shots then Utah will play 5 against 4 the rest of the game.

 

Have to contain Malone and Stockton. That penetration by Stockton is going to kill us if we don't play the passing lanes. But I think it's going to be either Kirilenko or Osterfag that's going to determine the game against us. Rockets in a squeaker:

Jazz 91

 

We're at home, and Ming has had some decent rest. Best rest he's had in a long while.

Francis will show a much higher willingness to pass to Ming from now on. I guarantee it.

Rockets 91
Jazz 90

Ming: 21pts, 15reb, 3blk
Francis: 39pts, 5asst, 5 reb

 

Thanks, Francis.

 

This is the game the Rockets need to use as a spring-board to a great second half of the season and ultimately a playoff spot. This game is as much a must-win as any so far this year. If they lose tonight, I believe they will fall out of the playoff picture very quickly. Tonight's game will be a character-builder.

 

win over jazz... on the other hand, it's really hard to predict any more
hope to see team bball and smart bball.

 

The proper method of predicting Rox games is as simple as Rudy's offensive offense. Grab a coin, any coin. Flip it, heads we win, tails we lose.







flip flip flip flip.........................tails.



Oh well, there's always tomorrows coin flip.


flip flip flip flip.........................tails damn it !!!!!

 

I want to see a Franchise to Dynasty alley oop over Malone!

 

must win...period

 

I want them to be so humiliated that they have to give the Jazz name back to New Orleans in an attempt to forget about this game. Salt Lake Hornets!

 

Very tough game for us and I never say this but this is truly a must win for us. Unfortunately, I think we will continue to see Old Man Malone dominate and pick apart our youngin Eddie G. Malone 28 pts, 11 rebs, 5 assist/ Eddie 7 pts 3/11 FG, 4 rebs, 1 MONSTER BLOCK.

Stockton will continue to toy with Francis and Mobeley will try to ISO Cheany. I really dont like our chances considering how poorly we have been playing but I gotta believe in my boys. IF Yao gets touches, we will win.

Rox 94
Utah 89

 

I HATE the Jazzholes... and now I have see them 2 days in a row!?!?!?!?

 

This is a big game, unfortunately I think they are going to start a scond half collapse. They have a lot of tough road games ahead where they have shown they can't even beat the Bulls. Goodness knows what will happen in Utah or Portland or any other west coast city. Let's just hope they are juiced up and play hard and get Cat a CAT scan to make sure he's not really as dumb as he plays... maybe he should go to classes on how to pass, or Rudy could actually lay down the law and enforce a 4 passes before a shot is taken rule.
