I hate the jazzholes. Rockets MUST win I think it will be like a playoff atmosphere at the T-center It should be close, but rox win.
Let Scola guard Boozer. Tmac, AB, Scola, Landry, Novak play 4th q. We win. Yao bunce back for a great first 3 q and lead the team for 22 points 12 rebs 3 blocks. No TO. AB and Novak's 3s falling like rain. Win Run&D Eq Win
We beat them earlier in the season wit T-Mac, we'll beat em again wit T-Mac, alot of ppl have no faith in this team
the speed, that Aaron provides, will keep constant pressure on utah's defence. I caught the pre-game interviews with gene peterson last night and sikma was talking about more pick and rolls with aaron at the end of the game Ak-47 is going to resemble a musket rockets 100 jazz 87
with the new players and developments on our side, i'm looking forward to seeing what kinda changes in game plan adelman has in his pocket for this game.
We need to bench Yao. If we try to establish Yao we'll only end up turning the ball over or giving up open jumper after open jumper on the other end. Not necessarily Yao's fault, his teammates (Luther Head...cough cough) mostly suck at passing him the ball and he just can't contest long jumpers. Maybe bring him in during the 4th quarter fresh to finish the game. Put Scola on Okur and Landry/Hayes on Boozer.
it isn't a playoff type atmosphere even when we're in the playoffs...................hopefully the arena will at least be alive and partially full on Sunday....
the crowd was loud v. the spurs, but still not as loud as like other arenas. hell even madison square garden half full is louder than the TC at capacity. i think when the team is trying to build its next arena, try to make it in a way the fans are closer.
This game doesnt scare me, but it is a must win, the Jazz just suck on the road, the last team they beat on the road were the Clippers, and their last road win before that was in December 21st, the j*zz should be beaten, if we play good this WILL be a blowout.
i think if yao is struggling, we should not hesitate to sit him for awhile. i think Landry can be HUGE in this game because he is so athletic, but he must stay out of foul trouble. as for the jazz, they are playing better recently, BUT if you look at their schedule, its been a bunch of crap teams. the only victory they have over good teams are portland in utah (finally breaking portland's streak, they were due. they then went played IN portland and were blown out), phoenix (where PHX was without nash, marion, and hill), and orlando (who had also been struggling). needless to say a very soft schedule indeed, so my only real concern is how yao will play against them. if he doesnt struggle too bad i say we win by double digits. maybe im just an optimist
It's time to salvage the season!! We are 2 games out of No.7 playoffs pot. Utah is a sub 500 road team. We should beat them at home, and we have to beat them. Go Rockets!!
The Rockets have dug themselves in such a big hole that all the games against Utah, Golden State, Portland, Denver are must wins now.
nice game to test both teams, who are rolling right now but since jazz is so bad on the road we are the favor one thing keep our guys win, revenge, come on , guys, let me feel the blood
That would be an awful idea. Boozer is way to big and strong for Scola, I say keep Chuck on him. He is the only one with the strength and quickness to guard Boozer.
