    Pretty much how I feel. If they can't get up for this game and take care of business, they're gonna get smoked in the first round no matter who they play.

    Need to show up and win.

    And hope Spurs lose to Pelicans to give us that 2 seed and Dallas.

    Exactly, I don't understand how this is a hard game at all. We have Harden and Dwight, they have a giant so what??

    Decision Day! By the end of the games tonight, the playoffs will be set, settled, scheduled. No more scenarios, no more possibilities, game planning begins.

    It's not gonna be a cakewalk. The Jazz have won 7 of their last 9 games and the only 2 losses are at Phoenix by 2 and at home to Memphis by 1. Now granted, the schedule hasn't been that tough for them lately. Even the game at Portland that they won saw the Blazers without Aldridge, Afflalo, and Matthews.

    Them missing Hayward should give the Rockets an edge. He scored 29 at that game in Utah that the Rockets lost. Not to mention it was a road game and the Rockets were exhausted after playing a late game at Portland the night before.

    But they better not take this one lightly. One thing the Jazz have been very consistent with recently is their defense. If the Rockets play lazy defense themselves and spot Utah an early lead, they may have trouble coming back and winning.

    They destroyed us in the paint last time..hoping for some sweet revenge and a win going into the playoffs!!!!

    BTW...enjoy seeing Harden get calls tonight...Refs will most likely not call much in the post season...

    I don't understand this line of thinking. 2 years ago he averaged 11 FT's per game in the playoffs and last year he average 8.5. He'll get calls and he'll get to the line. Maybe in general they'll call less fouls but his free throw shooting doesn't change much.

    Harden got plenty of calls in the playoffs. It was his jump shooting that really killed him and our chances.

    Either way...I'm not worried about Harden.

    Hayward wasn't the problem last time. Gobert destroyed them

    Hayward scored 29 points in just 31 minutes on 10-17 shooting. He was a huge problem. And he almost didn't play that night.

    McHale is not Billy O. Billy O is a great coach imo.

    Dude straight up if you dont blow out Utah with everything thats on the line lets just shut this puppy down for the year. Both favorable matchups if you win.

    Hope Harden has a strong shooting night. Go Rockets win, and finish the season strongly.

    umm McHale is a great coach as well. Billy O can't get the Texans to the playoffs. Until he can, he's not a great good coach.

    He coached before coming to the Texans you know.

    He is a great coach... he had a winning record with the worst QB situation in the NFL in his first season... 9 - 7 is often good enough to get to the play-offs.

    Well, first of all, it's not real. It's just a skit.

    But secondly, if it was real, the mascot got silly string in his beer. A beer that he just paid $8 or more for. He'd deserve getting that beer poured over his head.

    9-7 in his first year without a stable QB is pretty impressive.
