    I hate to acknowledge the corn, but Deron & Boozer are just like Deimos & Phobos to us. I hope Artest could be our "energy solution" tomorrow. Go ROX! Beat the brutal Jazz!!!

    there is no "law of average" in sports. Every event is independent of each other. It pisses me off when people refers to the "law of average"

    Deron Williams is too big and strong for our PGs to defend. I wonder how Aaron responds to him tomorrow.

    refer to the laws of averages, the stock market is likely to be a bull market in the nearest future? :D

    Biggest game of the year so far and a good measuring stick on how far we can go in the playoffs.

    I expect a loss. The Rockets are a sub 500 road team this year and Utah is on a tear.

    Rockets win because they know its a big game and decide to give a damn.

    They mainly lose on the road to crappy teams they look past.

    Fatigue is going to play a factor in this game. It would be a huge win if they can pull this one out.

    utah cause huge matchup promblems for us,big who can shoot3,pg who is strong and can post up, play team ball so roro&batman can't just focus on one star defensively,I really hope we can win but I don’t have much confidence in this one.oh, I forgot one more thing, they have many players that flop a lot, i can see yao in foul trouble...

    I hope this lineup gets alot of PT

    Lowry
    Wafer
    Battier
    Artest
    Landry

    Causes plenty of matchup problems for Utah, Artest can handle Boozer or Artest and let Landry deal with Okur. Battier can guard either CJ Miles or Brewer and Wafer will get the guy Battier doesnt guard. Lowry will get the opposing point guard duties and I am exctied to see him play d on DWill. Anybody else feel this lineup?

    I think everyone can agree with my statement

    I Fuc%k^nG hate the Jazz, I hate their fans, their players and the organization and the players that have played for them, I even hate Utah, just because thats the first thing that comes to mind : The Utah Jazz, screw them.

    Its interesting to look at the second game against Utah this year. Williams, Brewer, and Milsap played above themselves and the only player missing was Boozer. Boozer has been pretty iffy since coming back. Be optimistic, this game is winnable. You heard it here first(Von Wafer will be huge tomorow "prediction")

    Hopefully AB won't lose his lunch $$$ to D Williams. Also need to bring D against the PNR.

    Artest....

    DRIVE TO THE RIM NONSTOP!

    Just show him the last time we played Utah, they are fouling ******* who slap at your arms all the time and get away with it.

    you underestimate the element of SURPRISE!

    they're not used to the rockets running a fast break. the rockets still play the same tough defense, same board crashing, but now they get some easy points as well. that might make the difference.

    the rockets backcourt doesn't consist of two guys who played 10+ seasons anymore. the legs of our guards are young and ready to play again tomorrow. brooks, lowry, wafer are all young and healthy.

    you dont have to worry about ron, scola, shane, or landry's effort. our forwards ALWAYS show up with effort. barry didn't play tonight so he can get some minutes on fresh legs tomorrow.

    lets just hope yao shows up. he's the only guy who really doesn't fair well on back to backs... and not 4 in 5 nights for sure.
