    The Jazz should be hungry for a win, but I'm not sure how talented they are.

    Burks is averaging 19.5 points on 56% in 2 games.

    It looks like they have no depth at all, so if their best players don't play well they have no chance.

    I'm looking forward to see how Kanter and Favors play because I expect they will be looking to have a good showing.

    Dwight vs. Favors and Asik vs. Kanter should be interesting.

    Hayward is basically their #1 option / superstar.

    The Parsons - Hayward match up might decide who wins this game.

    Start out hot and put them away early.

    But they did adjust and exploit zone weaknesses.

    "That's what (other teams) want to do is slow us up. ... We just have to keep up the ball movement and keep attacking the space (on the court). Like I said, I just wanted to be aggressive and get out in transition before the zone (defense) can get set up."

    I don't think it's going to be easy, as a matter of fact Utah is never easy, they fight hard until the very end, I hope we will be able to defeat them, thus far Jazz lost their two games but they didn't lose by a big margin so we can't degrade them.

    I hope we will be able to pull this one out and have a third consecutive win.

    Didn't we beat them by 40 last year?

    They don't matchup well with us.

    I don't think we averaged 20 Turnovers then.

    I think we have a great chance to win but again by 30 or 40?
    Not likely but surprises happen.

    We have beat the Jazz three times in a row by an average of 20 points. The 45 point victory definitely skews that LOL. I want to keep that average tonight! Go Rockets!

    Having Dwight and Omer will help us a lot with the altitude in Utah. We are going to miss Casspi. Parsons needs to step up big time.
    Hard to predict this game for me.

    As currently built we march up really well with them because they have nobody who can come close to defending harden and they don't have good rim protecting bigs- attack, attack, attack - and we win easy.

    Highlight of the season last year was when we were up by 50 and the Utah Fans started cheering for us in their own arena. If we can top that it will make my weekend.

    Go Rockets!

    Just a little worried about it being a back2back @ Utah.

    FWIW, I had a dream of the Rockets last night and they were all being silly on the bench in their warmups.
    Prediction of a blowout tonight? We'll see how strong my psychic powers are [​IMG]

    Since 2-0 is our first start since 04. When was the last time we started 3-0 (if we ended up winning tonight)?
