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

Have the Rockets conceded Boozer his points?

Are they saying they will let Boozer have his and try to contain others?

Why is he scoring at will against one of the best paint defense in the game?

Our bench finally realized playoffs are here!

 

Juwan Howard 6-6 FGS 12 points and 6 rebounds...WOW !!

And Luther (who still played lousy Defense) at least hit 2 big threes.

But the best role player award goes to Battier, every time they got up by 4, Battier hit a 3......

WHEW !!

DD

 

great game we had to win, but it took a flurry of threes and breakout games from our bench to just barely squeak by them. we're gonna lose in utah so it's all on game 7.

 

We don't have too many games can come from behind at the 4th quarter. Greate team effort.

 

again if we're going to him as much as we do, he better get 21 pts. but as a "big man" and going to him as much as we do, he should be much more efficient than that.

 

T-Mac is the bomb, this game was great. I can't think of anyone who didn't play well, Juwan/Luther finding their game, Rafer/Battier knocking down big threes, T-Mac/Yao playing like superstars.

I guess you could throw in Snyder in the bad list, but good thing he was outta there after he whiffed that three

 

Home court is so important.
Rox will also have home court in the 2nd round. Weird

 

I had smoke in my eyes. I followed the team the whole year and I got pay cut because of watching rockets' game in the office. I will have major heart attack if they had losed tonight.

Geez, such a great game. Mac, where r u in game 3 and 4?? keep that up and we need your heart in game 6.

Yao what's going on with your shooting and defense tonight?? you almost single handly buried the team. Ok, your FTs and rebound are good, keep that up in game 6.

Head, I took my bad mouth back from you. Your 2 threes in 4th qt were key countering utah's attack. You need to and you are able to shoot 3s in game 6. have some confidence in yourself!!!

It is all good.

Let's go Rockets!!!!

 

Major props to Tmac, Battier and Howard. And Hayes for taking that charge. What is up with you, Yaooooooo?????????? Anyway, glad for the win.

 

2nd round here we come

good game

the difference tonight was battier

 

HUGE. HUGE WIN.

Proved we could get back from those two awful games in Utah.

Swung the momentum Rockets-side.

Proved that we could come back in the 4th.

Proved the role players do have SOMETHING in them.

And best of all, got us 94% odds. As a betting man, I like them odds.

 

because yao is guarding boozer and boozer is much quicker than yao. whats the point of just letting boozer have his points? 2 points is still 2 points no matter who shoots them and he shoots them at a high percentage. also utah is one of the best passing teams in the league everyone is going to score. we need chuck hayes on boozer.

 

Just how well would you like Rafer to shoot? He was 4-10 overall and 3-7 (43%) from outside. Especially the three-point percentage is fine by me, first game his hitting them with consistency.

 

are u kidding me? we have been blown out in utah and squeak by at home. this series is not even close to over.

this could go back to houston.

so we need to play game 6 like it's game 7. no relaxation at all. go all out.

and hopefully luther and howard have confidence now

 

Major props to you as well. Be sure to not get a paycut again.

 

only if you believe Dallas are done.

which im sad to say, they are not.

oh and we havent won this series yet either.

if this comes to a game 7 - take how nervous we all were just now and blow it out times 1000 - thats what the pressure of a game 7 will feel like.

 

T-mac did what he said. Yao was terrible. TO be a contender, Yao has to show up at Utah at next game, against stamina and their crowds. Otherwise, Trade Yao before people figure out what yao can do.

Enjoyed whole game, excejpt Yao's play and some blunders from Alston.

GO, ROckets!

 

what was that francis?

 

i agree... no way we end the series in utah after getting blown out the last 2 games there...
unless the rockets actually got something call "mental toughness" on the road...
