ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/23/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

the alternative to rafer at this moment is instant death(aka luther head), so i'm not going to complain

 

Luther Head got to figure out that he is playing pro basketball games.

 

It's like a perfect rainbow. But everytime I see it, I'm still amazed it goes in - the ball gets up so high.

 

Very happy about the win

However, we must shoot better to win in Salt lake city. I doubt that we will have more FT shooting than Jazz in their place.

 

Agreed. Luther's been pretty crappy so far this series. He's looked tentative and completely lost out there. Also, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with his 3 pointer right now. I hope he gets going cuz we need our 3 point shooting back.

 

Boozer has got one of the ugliest shots in the NBA, how it goes in is a miracle

 

have u checked marion?

 

Don't care who play good, who play bad. The point is we win.. baby

 

Yao and TMac played great as usual, but Chuck had a huge game. 1 foul, tons of O rebs and 2/2 FTs!

 

I know, how cool was that. was that just golden or what. it just show how damn silly it is for some fans to create divisivness in their minds with Yao and TMac. That was classic. That made my week. My month. My year. They may be the coolest two Houston Rockets ever. After that, I don't care if they don't win another game, they be better both retire Houston Rockets. that was beautiful. really. houston rocket fans are lucky.

 

or walker?

 

I have to say, I think the Rockets got a few more calls in their favor than they deserved. And yeah, the foul on Battier running into D-Will was TOTAL BS (D-Will actually ran into Batman, it's just that D-Will got hurt more... pity call). Still though... I have a slightly sour taste in my mouth.

 

Tmac and Yao are just OK in this game.

 

The whole series is going to be this way (yao, tmac 'underperforming'). Its going to be tough to score in the paint. There's not much we can do against Utah's style to change the game. i dont care if the win is ugly as long as we win.

 

I'm hoping T-Mac will come out of his shooting slump by the next game in Utah. He has been contributing enormously by creating open shots and drivng down the lane, but once his shot returns, he'll be unstoppable.

 

He thought Utah's front court will all play better in home court. Then they spent rest of time discussing how AK might be able to recover from current slump.

Not informative to me at all......

 

I sincerely hope so. He also needs to remember the series against Detroit when he was in Orlando and was 3-1 up. He then became cocky and over confident and talked big and bragged too much. They then proceeded to lose the next 3 games.

I don't know whether he has learned his lessons.

Please TMac if you want to brag, do it after the rockets have won the series and also remember to give credit to your team mates and not try to corner all the glory for yourself. Remember, it takes 5!!!

 

i think that yao and t-mac will be huge in game 3.especially t-mac.i believe that they have learned their lessons when they took a 2-0 lead over the mavs.they will gve their all in this game because they know how important it is.watch for mcgrady to score 40 and by being agressive.yao will dominate inside getting the jazz big man into foul trouble and shooting over 50%.Game 3 is a must win

 

I think it's just nerves. Hopefully he gets over it.

 

He made 1 of 2 shots. That's not bad considering Luther was 0 for 3.
