ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/30/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

with how it was going there for a while, i can't believe we aren't down by like 30. seriously dodged a bullet there.

 

Rafer Alston........THANK YOU.


anyone else notice how our surge coincided with him PUSHING the ball up the court everytime, getting guys like Juwan and Battier shots...Letting yao run down the court into the PnR or into the deep post, catch Mac on the move...the key is to get the extremely physical and grabby Jazz on the move!

 

I have no doubt T-Mac took a shot. And he said it wasn't a hip pointer, but a shot to the ribs.

As DD said, I don't like him playing up the drama. Just be quiet, humble, and play.

 

good finish

lets go rockets!

 

Yeah of course Yao "thought he shoot" considering there was 1 second on the clock. He should have shot it because there is no way Yao should be expecting that pass.

 

not really. if u look at it, the role players are getting the SAME shots they have been getting all series. but tmac's stats look good b/c they FINALLY knock them down.

that's why i'm shocked at how professional players need to take a 5th game in a series to finally knock down OPEN OPEN shots.

 

if only Luther would realize he is a professional by now

 

This is where JVG is screwing up by never playing or giving these two guys a chance to play. Once again this should have been done throughout the season.

 

Role players Juwan and Head are really keys to win when playing dirty defensive team named Jazz, when Juwan made shots, Yao and TMac got more space for moves and shooting. They can not leave other rockets with hot hands alone.
Second half, please give Span time to hurt Jazz with penetration.

 

Wanted: Luther Head! one of the best 3pt shooter!

 

TMac actually stepped up his game tonight. If he had played like this in game 3 or 4, we might be up 3-1 or even 4-0 now. but it is still not too late yet, let's get it done in the 2nd half.

Let's go Rockets!!!!

 

BEAUTIFUL run at the end there! (well, except for the failed alley-oop)

J.Ho stepping up huge, Battier coming through, Rafer playing great, and our stars are just starting to heat up! Love it!

 

craig sager said it was a hip pointer. maybe he took a shot to both.

go to Rox/ Jazz

WMOE

 

May be because most of those "professional players" you speak of are in reality NBDL talent/roster fillers?

Just a thought...

 

T-Mac's played well today overall, and I have to give the team credit. They at least look like they are all playing with energy. We missed a lot of open shots early and the Jazz hit a lot of contested shots, but there is not a lot you can do about that.

 

The only way we can beat Utah is if we atack the basket.

 

Guys, relax a little bit. They were very tense to start with, but they finally woke up and made some nice plays. Everyone contributed, which is a very good sign, of course except for Head. You can't be too hard on your team, especially when they start to pick it up. This board is unbearable right now.

 

Luther is a deer in headlights. And the Jazz keep running him smack dab dead over!

 

What in world has happened to Luther? Does he owe Williams some money and is making it up by not playing well.
