    They don't wanna risk their jobs. Of course, the ones that risked their jobs are in for a raise.

    From Jazz site:
    -----
    ...........Therefore, the key for the Jazz to guarding McGrady is keeping him off the free throw line and out of the assist category. If you can keep McGrady to a jump shooting game, he will hit a few, but by the end of the night the odds are on your side.


    To our advantage, the only Rockets player Jazz knows is Mcgrady.

    Who cares is you let at 68% FT shooter to the line a few times. The clanks will demoralize the Rockets.

    The Jazz run into the odds of McGrady going on a hot shooting streak. If they play physical and put him on the line, they can keep him from developing a rhythm. He's also a piss poor free shooter, that can lose the game from the free throw line.

    I am sure the Jazz website is wrong and Sloan will have McGrady hammered with fouls.

    Sweet this game is on ESPN over here =D It's on a 11:30AM in Australia, gonna have to wake up a little early (on holidays so like I kinda wake up late if I'm not doing anything). Well whether or not logically, Rockets can beat the Jazz, I sure as hell hope they do =( It'd be a pretty good feat considering we wouldn't have Yao and Alston.

    I'm working until 11 and will probably miss the first quarter and a little bit of the second... but I'm still really hype?? Anyone with unlimited texting care to hook a rockets fan up with some texts every 10 minutes or so about how the game is goin?

    After mcgrady endless series losses in an unbelieveable losers ability,

    2-0 With rockets vs dallas, lost.
    3-1 With magic vs detroit, lost.
    Game 7 vs utah at home, lost.

    The only thing that can make a team with mcgrady to win a playoff series, is when mcgrady isnt on the team.

    Since that doesnt make sense, a team with mcgrady can never win a playoff series.

    Trolling around once again. Guys, I swear everything that comes out of this guy has to do with some T-mac hating. Can clutch ban this guy or something? He never posts anything that isn't related to t-mac hating.

    Get a life dude, quit trolling around the rockets forum. Go back to your dallas or lakers or something. Or go watch some miami basketball if thats how you judge what a loser is. Cause you're the loser in this forum, and you're the one pissing everyone off.

    just read on rotoworld.com that tmac added a shooting drill to his practice routine this week for the playoffs where he goes around 4 to 8 ft from the rim and shoots high arching shots to help add arc on his usually flat shot...he said he usually does this drill at home and that it works.....hopefully it will work and we will see the tmac we a re used to in the playoffs tonight....i cant waitt!!!!!!!
