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

We can not just play standing offense, move the ball that 's why now we are back in the game!

 

As a devout lurker, and outsider, (from Las Vegas, not Houston) I finally need to ask, why are there so many empty seats in the Toyota Center for a playoff game?

 

Man, this is so frustrating. Yao just needs to work harder on getting deeper position because they are running at him from the weak side EVERYTIME hes about to turn and shoot. Rockets need to play the next 24 minutes like the end of the second quarter. Their playoff lives depend on it.

 

Thinking back on the past few games, I've come to realize that the best defense against the Jazz is offense. If we start scoring, Jazz's FG% starts to drop. If we go on a dry spell, then their FG% goes through the roof. It's like they can't miss on anything.

 

the rockets should sue Luther Head for stealing money from them, and the jazz should consider giving him a paycheck

 

uh he's still shooting bad. the difference =< role players making shots. if they made shots, tmac would have more space like they will this 2nd half.

and u see the difference in yao at 8ft compared to 12-15 ft?

8ft in => best scorer.

12-15ft =< might as well be shawn bradley

 

Luther just needs one damn three to go down to get him going.

 

Is it any wonder that when they were down by 10 and T-Mac came back in, they got back into the game? Sure you need the guys to finish the play but T-Mac (1) draws all the attention, and (2) finds all the open guys when guys collapse on him. Don't misunderstand me. I love how the guys our finishing plays but I guarantee you that if T-Mac hadn't come back in, we would be down by much more than 1.

 

We have to continue that in the 3rd. Do not let them bully us in the 3rd as they did in Utah. Now we have to take a lead and controll the game

 

I'm not okay if we lose. It only looks good because we were terrible the first half and excellent in the second half, even though we gained a net total of 1 point.

Still, a lot better then expected. This could be the defining quarter of the series, since the Jazz really looked like they were going to run away with it there.

 

There is no more lp but you can watch the english feed which is almost as good as LP.

tmac makes thsi team. but again, him and yao have gotten these damn fools all the good shots in the world. but tonight is the FIRST TIME they have consistently made them.

and they need to CONTINUE to make them in the 2nd half for us to have a chance. utah is too deep right now. okur is slowly getting his shot back.

 

In any case, we need our guys to continue playing at a high level. I'm more worried about our defense. We can't keep letting the Jazz get open shots.

 

THANK YOOUUUUUUUUUUU!

 

Luther is looking like a rookie out there today. Might as well put in V-Span with all the wide open misses and turnovers.

 

call me crazy but rafer is one of the few guys on this team who is playing well this series.

if tmac won't take to the whole, RAFER WILL! (and miss! but oh well)

 

there is some storm and a hostage situation near the toyota center

 

Here we go again. The Rockets need to be leading going into fourth in order to win this game. I wish the Rockets could blow this team out just like the Jazz did to the Rockets. I hate these close games, the Rockets are due for a good blow out win.

 

Toyota center crowd is garbage tonight IMO, esp compared to game 1 and 2, it looks weak as hell on tv. This game is incredibly important and the fans are not even in their seats and the ones who are, are sitting on their ass.

Take lessons from the Warriors crowd. The fans cheer and are better at meaningless Astros games like sat. night. Weak.

 

the end of the 2nd quarter is the first time the supporting cast has consistently hit shots this whole series.
