ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/19/2008 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

What game are you watching?

 

What surprises me is that Sloan doesn't play Matt Harpring 40+ minutes a game against the Rockets.

He makes every jump shot against us.

He gets all the rebounds.

And he manages to pack in some elbows and cheap shots while he is not doing any of the above.

 

Boozer's dirty elbow in the back of Mutombo just took the cake to close the half of all the dirty stuff Utah is always willing to do to win.

Does anyone know if Korver actually punched Tmac in the gut? Tmac was in front of Korver so it was impossible to see what Korver did to him to hurt him.

Les - how about talking to Stern about the Hockey tactics? Even if we lose the series I hope some team tougher than us knocks these punks on their asses.

 

the guy is a huge honkin turd. i really hate him.

 

Bobby needs to play a lt better. He has to make those easy buckets (like his last) and he has to make those open 3s, jumpers. Scola also is 3/9 and he's had some good layups, points which he should have scored.

 

Utah got 3 Fts. Calm down.

 

It could be that. It looked like he slipped. Tough luck.

 

I hate that flop early going. He flops so damn much I'm beginning to hate his face and his shave.

 

Hayes, Landry, Harris, Jackson, Head and Brooks have 0 rebounds total between them. That's 6 players with no rebounds.

 

Oh excuse me. Utah has only had 3 attempts. We've made 7/9. I'm sorry. But 9 is still not enough

 

He almost got a double double in the first half, and thats with sitting on the bench so Milsap could rip us a new one. At least with Yao starting last year Boozer had a horrible first game being held to under 10 points and single digit boards. Then of course he started tearing it up.

 

Gotta hate Mr proactiv.

 

So true, Scola and Mutombo are playing with fire and contesting every call by the refs. Our other guys look tight and nervous... T-mac's shooting has been surprisingly efficient though. Lets hope they're loosened up in the second half and ready to take it to these Jazzholes.

 

Kolver ran his freaking body and face into t-mac whiles t-mac was airborne. It was inbounds play and t-mac caught the inbounds airborne. For some damn reason, Kylie decided to run his body into t-mac.

 

This is a very physical game, and it is supposed to have more turnovers. In fact, the Jazz have more turnovers than the rockets.

The rockets need more 3pt for the 2nd half. They only made 2/8.

Without Yao, this series somehow depends on the 3pt shooting.

 

Somebody needs to make a "Where needs Proactiv" Boozer sign for the next game

 

more landry please. this guy would punish the jazz in a hurry.

 

Without Yao, most everything depends on outside shots.

 

LOL. I agree earlier with the post "Do it for T-Mac". Took T-Mac a little while to get fired up. I love our teams emotion at the end of the half. Let's go guys keep up the emotion. No one said it was going to be easy. You got to fight, you gotta scrap, you gotta play like there is no tomorrow, because after 4 games there may not be. Come on guys screw doing it for Yao, screw doing it for the fans, screw doing it for T-Mac, do it for your own damn team. Prove you can hang with these guys. So what if they are hitting you? Hit them back. So what if they are pushing you? Push them back harder. Let's go get em boys!

 

I hate Matt Harpring
