    The Rockets got home court advantage....

    but this is really a huge game

    Rox need to send Utah a message

    Jeremys keys to the game

    1. take care of the ball(we usually win when we dont have alot of turnovers)
    2. rebound
    3. Get Yao and Mac goin early

    If we do those things we should win :D

    If both Houston and Detroit win tonight, both were lucky enough to reach the Championship Game, who whould have hve the home court advantage, as both team would have exactly the same number of wins and losses? :p

    detroit cannot beat us 4 times in a 7 game series regardless of where it's played. no east team can. let's take care of the tough tough west first.

    Isn't the second tiebreaker (they split the season series) the conference record? If so, I think the Pistons will have HCA as they have a better conference record.

    Well, I'm assuming all the starters will sit out so it'll be Vspan and crew...
    Rox win...

    Rox: 90

    Azz: 87

    Just hope that noone gets injures, win or lose is not important.

    we win 102-92...to avoid losing 30 games this seaon....having 29 losses looks so much better in the L column than 30

    I'm down with giving Sura major playing time. I think he is well deserving.

    This will be the most demoralizing loss Utah has experienced in their recent slump.

    Rox scrubs beat Utah starters by 4.

    Vspan and Tsak combine for 27 points.
    Rafer with 25 pts and 7 assists
    Luther with a game high 32

    TMac
    3 mins, 8 pts, 2 asts, 1 rbs

    and benched because he tells JVG Vspan is the better PG+SG for Jazz.

    YM
    5 mins, 8 pts, 1 asts, 1 rbs

    and bencehed because he tells JVG Jake is the better center for Jazz.

    JVG
    upset, unhappy, speachless
    and let Novac coach the game.

    By the way Sloon says he is considering quit.

    A lot of Utah is strikingly beautiful... Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Book Cliffs, San Rafael Swell, the High Uintas.

    SLC? Eh, not so much. Don't let the hatred of the Jazz blind you to the beauty that belongs to all of us and don't confuse SLC with all of Utah.

    Well I think the conference-tiebreaker is for teams in the same conference, just like the division-tiebreaker. So the tiebreaker for Houston and Detroit should be the offensive-defensive point difference, and Houston holds the long end of the stick.
