    Don't just take it game by game, but quarter by quarter.

    What else can they do?

    Rockets need to come out attacking the basket. Deke needs to put AK on his backside early with a hard foul and set a new tone. NO FLOPPING IN MY HOUSE! Landry needs to man up and throw down some nasty dunks.

    reverse the curse.

    the Rockets performed better than the Jazz in two quarters of Monday's game. lets kick it up to three or four and build a cushion, start something BIG!

    ITS A SEVEN GAME SERIES PEOPLE

    GO ROCKETS!

    Rafer will hit 6 3's and be praised as the hero after we win.

    Win that game, just compete and beat Utah. I know it's Salt Lake City but damn, does it really matter. If you play hard, if you play well than you can win everywhere.

    What's important we really had a chance to win in Game 1 and we had even bigger one in Game 2. We just gotta make a push when the game is tied, we should have done that before.

    I'd like to see Tracy being a little bit more selfish. I think he needs to look more for his shot especially with everybody else struggling. Thanks God Rafer is back, maybe he will change something (I hope he will be hitting his shots) and I hope he will make McGrady play off the ball more.

    Finally damn bring some help for T-Mac. He can't do it alone. As I said we are getting good looks, we just gotta knock them down. Last night we scored 17 on the 1st and 17 in the 4th. That's not enough, our offense gotta be better than that.

    What's important, MAKE LAYUPS AND DAMN MAKE FREE THROWS !

    I know it is gonna be tough but it ain't over yet.

    Go Rockets !

    Stick Battier on Deron Williams just to try something new.

    Does a win prolong the agony or does it really give us hope?

    I believe the rockets will play better than they did in the first two games. They probably will make some 3s.

    However, I am not sure whether the Jazz will play better as well. In fact, they didn't play their best either in the first two games.

    Good luck, rockets! No matter what result will happen, I will support the rocekts to the end.

    Shane was guarding Williams in game 2, wasn't he?

    But watching game 2 the I'm even more sure thet the most important thing is to STOP Deron Williams. It is not Boozer, it is not Okur or Korver. It is DERON WILLIAMS.

    This guy just doesn everything for them. He is a good shooter so don't live him open for jumpers, 3s like we did at the beggining of the game (3/3 from the long range for him). He can get to the rim so we gotta bring help and he can pass the ball.

    But the most important think it to limit his game. He is the only one guy that can outplay us and he did it in Game 2. We just can't let him score easy baskets. GUARD HIM, if we guard him we will be ok, I'm sure.
