Right about now would be a great time to have someone physical like ron artest to match up with boozer
cmon man......you gotta stop b****in about refs and play. and it's not liek we can make freethrows anyways. we're just a decent team without yao
Rockets have too many holes in their game. Hustle alone cant do it in seven games series. Holes = missing layups,freethrows,poor incosistent shooting, and NO Big Post presence. I just dont want to see this team get blown out tonite. I want to see them compete even if they lose.
Seriously. This game is a microcosm of how the series will turn out. We couldn't beat them last year when we had HOME COURT ADVANTAGE AND YAO. ScoLandry isn't good enough to pick up that slack. You see how easily Boozer and Okur get those rebounds from ScoLandry? We are still missing consistently good point guard play and that dog that can consistently rebound - same things that killed us last year with Utah.
Look guys, I honestly believe T-Mac jacking from the outside and getting hot is really the only way this team can win here. Deron Williams can shred the Rockets defense because he's tough with the ball, he's smart, has good handles and the Rockets aren't long on D. Yes, the Rockets can be active, but they're not long. There isn't anyone on the Rockets who can consistently shred the Jazz defense either by driving or on PnR. The Jazz are big and long and smart on D. While driving and dishing is good in theory, the practice of it doesn't work when the other team's D is simply better than your team's offense (when I say better, I mean smarter, faster, bigger). Ever successful drive n dish or PnR play this game is trumped by twice as many unsuccessful ones (turnover, deflected passes, bad passes leading to bad shots). Sadly, imo, T-Mac just getting hot is really the best chance the Rockets have at winning this game with the way the Jazz are playing.
it'll also be a great time to not have landry, scola, or brooks for the future right? we're not gonan win a championship with ron artest. you gotta be kidding
isnt it too late? i mean the game is pretty over. damn i hope mcgrady an get it going again and we can play some real defense now, but...
They have to win in San antonio to clinch homecourt. So the rockets still would have a chance even if we lose tonight.
We are as good as anyone in the league except they all make point blank layups and freethrows. Therefore if we dont do these things we lose.
I hope the Jazz will be #3 seed eventually (possible?). It looks like that any other West teams except the Lakers will not be the worse match-up for us. What do you guys think?
