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

it's on my20

 

We should win this one. The jazz just lost to the spurs by 30, and I don't think they can recover so quick.

 

we lost to them by a bunch too..

they are going to recover...it's all about who will recover the fastest...

we have people on our team that are willing to take on the major roles!!

 

i really want to see if tmac is going to be an offensive force in this series. he has to be one b/c we must force the jazz to double a ton (but they're not big on double teams--sloan didn't even double kobe after he busted them for 45 pts one time).

but he has to establish himself as a force offensively to put some thoughts into the jazz's minds.

basically all i want to see is can we score efficiently like we did 5-6 games after yao went down. and also, did we learn from last yr on protecting the glass.

 

Jazz will always double Tmac because he is a great playmaker.

In fact, not just Jazz didn't double Kobe, other teams (e.g., Mavs) sometimes didn't double him either.

When Kobe's shooting is off, he is not as effective as Tmac.

 

Honestly, I was a little disappointed by the Jazz yesterday. As the best home team in nba, they didn't fight to the last minute to get the home court advantage. I think it means they don't have confience to win it all.

BTW, I think Okur should be suspended.

 

lets go rockets!!!!!!!!!!

 

LETS GO ROCKETS!!!!!!

 

rox go!!

^^^^^LOL^^^^^

 

I had a dream that Yao wasnt really injured.... it was all faked to trick the jazz. he was really just resting for the playoffs.... and he runs out on the court to start game 1 and toyota center goes crazy and he puts up 42/20

 

win or lose this series - i will cry either way.

 

than out the blue Steve Francis pop up and started to go nuts on everyone

 

T-mac will play out of his mind like a real avenger.

 

I'd like to see chuck hayes start with scola and shadow boozer all night. Scola stay on Okur no 3s. Okur not quick enough to get past scola, but will probably post him up, i'll take that over boozer anyday. Shane should defend deron all game. bobby should defend the 2 even if he gets posted up. tmac defends kirelenko. mutombo off bench to defend paint against millsap and harping along with landry. luther and brooks need to attack the rim even if their shot gets blocked stay aggressive. finally T mac needs to score big!!! Go ROCKETS

 

i had similar dream but it was steve who came to play not yao..

 

What are you talking about? Francis did this before. Look at the video below, he came from nowhere. Except this time, imagine the scorer was deron williams and the knicks were the rockets.

Utah is the most annoying team in the league right now. We have to beat them and get revenge! I think we will beat them in 7 games.

 

Luther Head. Limit his minutes. Do that and we should be alright.
