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

Its funny because the first half I blamed it on their roughness and cheap shots....... but the 2nd half I have no excuse for it. Well coached, kept composure, and made 3's.


BTW Im sure a Jazz fan would die laughing at our faith in our team according to this thread.

 

I won't if TMac keeps fading in crunch time.

 

I don't think so. Maybe it is still a little bit painful but when you take wild 3 or jumper they just usually don't go down.

He needs to attack, he is so frustrated now and he should be. We have no offensive game and Adelman has now a BIG concern cause this team shouldn't have problems with scoring. And the true is that we are even worse offensivly that we were last year.

 

Charges are guess; more than half the time, they'll be blocks.

 

Great! Let's tank the playoffs one game in for an inkown... oh wait, we've missed the lottery...







Game two is another day. We'll bounce back.

 

oh well, tmac will never get out of the first round.

 

I know this is way too early but...

Jazz in 4 and I love the Rockets but they are just too short handed to make a difference in this series.

Poor T-Mac, the other players are failing him.... AGAIN. Way too many killer passes that turn into turnovers or missed layups. Way too many missed FT (well it includes TMac). The PG play is horrendous. Is it still 3 for 15??

You know, if the Jazz played without Williams and Boozer...... They still might win this game because their bench came to play.

Meanwhile, The player formerly known as Carl Laundry! simply disappeared and lets hope he will be heard from again. I mean, if he gets a 2 foot potential game mo changing dunk and gets it blocked by Korver, I mean, he is NOT back, he is NOT jumping and he is really useless out there.

Milsap on the other hand, makes 20 footer, drives to the bucket, cleans the board and generally should not be included in the same sentence and CL now.

Man, whatever 4 inches he gained he lost 8 when he got injured. It's really a crap shoot to see if the Rockets resign him now knowing that yes, he can play but man, he gets hurt and takes a long time to come back.

 

Don't be too upset!

Mavs and Jazz were behind 0-2 before, and they could come back.

I believe we also can do that!

 

I hope your right. I hate the Jazz! With AK and Williams playing the way they are it will be tough to beat them 4 times. I am hoping for Deron Williams to tear his ACL tonight or tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the optimism but I also would like to see them advance this year no matter what. Even if we lose today.

 

Gah, from half of these posts you'd think this is game 7 with how many people say the series is over.

 

of course kirilinko game of his life

 

I never have seen a team quit like we do. We have 10 minutes to go in the game and everyone gives up. Without Yao this team just doesnt care as much.

 

oh welll

so much hope for landry

he blows

 

ahhh and these first round exits always come during finals time......I need to learn to prioritize. I wish the Rockets would give me something to watch AFTER the finals.

 

that's right. against mavs, even last year we started 2-0 and we still LOST. So maybe now something different will happen...

 

Nope.

Dream didn't come out of retirement.

 

These guys are *pros*?? Unbelieveably bad with a basketball near the rim!! And, what is our excuse about FT? The Jazz defend those well too??

 

11 point deficit, 11 missed FT's. hmmmmmmm

 

i meant college finals.
