I have nothing to add...except that I deeply hate the Jazz! That is all. Oh...and a few Deke finger wags would be great.
deke should play in this one I would think as Jazz have 2 7 footers to backup Okur, Yao needs to watch out for Okur's 3's or someone else.
Rockets have to play much better defense...or they will be back cut to death in this game. Rocket 105 Jazz 99 DD
we have to play D and play deke for now overtime and we cant give up a double digit lead in the 2nd half... I we defend well they should be held to under 80 pts.
A loss gives us 17 losses and would tie us with Dallas and Utah (assuming they win tonight ... almost a given) for the most losses among the 9 teams with a shot in the West. We cannot afford it and I hope the Rockets continue to play with energy (as they have since TSlack was benched). We simply cannot afford to play such lax defense as we have in the last few games (Lakers, Nuggets) against the Jazz. The Jazz are efficient to begin with. Couple that with lax defense and it could be a recipe for disaster.
At least the Rockets have a favorable schedule down the stretch. Maybe a 22 game winning streak is in the works. The loss before the 22 game win streak was against the Jazz at home around this same time last year. So basically I am saying that if the Rockets lose tonight, they will win their next 22 games.
Play defense, and everything will be fine. Remember, we don't have Artest to finish this game once again. I hope we can beat the j*zz.
