    Strong defense and accurate shooting seem to be the ticket back home. Do it.
    If the Rockets get them back to the TC, they are going to the second round, and the Jazz know it. The Rockets will get the "kitchen sink" thrown at them in Utah. And don't expect any "friendly" calls by the refs. This will be a serious gut check. Choke or Clutch, which will it be? The Rockets better be up for a street fight. I wish they weren't so nicked up, but a wounded lion is most dangerous.

    Hmm, this year we have a +1.4 point differential to the Jazz while last year we had a -8 point differential in the series. :eek:

    I expect them to come out tight and making mistakes like turnovers, missed layups, missed jumpshots, missed rebounds etc.....

    rox will win.........game 5 style :p

    This team needs to keep the right mentality. They need to remember that they are still down in the series 3-2, that this next game is in Utah, that theoretically Utah still has the advantage, and one loss means that this season is over. Despite our dominating win game 5, The Rockets need to know there is still a lot more to play for. Just like we did game 5, they have to play up to this team and not down.

    For some reason I feel better about winning GAME 6 on Friday than winning GAME 7 on sunday



    reason is because of TMAC's playoff history and the pressure of him advancing


    We arnt expected to win GAME 6 but if we force a GAME 7 it will be ALL ON TMAC again ....... CAN HE FINALLY ADVANCE OUT OF THE 1st RD! I really hope he does but he has gone thur every possible GAME 7 situation almost.


    03' Up 3-1 vs Detriot and LOST GAME 7 in DETRIOT

    05' Won first 2 game in DALLAS ..... and LOST GAME 7 at HOME

    07' Won first 2 game at HOME ..... and LOST GAME 7 at HOME



    I just hope is just doesnt add to another GAME 7 failure on his resume.

    I'm going to predict a narrow win 94-91 and tmac will make key baskets in the end to seal a victory. The Rockets will have to come out ready to play from the tip as I'm sure the Jazz will try to put us out from the start.

    BELIEVE!!!!! ROCKETS WIN!

    Before the series began, I said that my head told me Jazz in 6, but my heart told me Rockets in 7.


    I'm hoping my heart is right on this one. :D

    i will say. if the rockets had rafer alston since the start of game one than i think we would be up on the series or maybe we even won the series already.

    i keep hearing everyone saying that Utah is a better team than us without YAO but i have to disagree. we are 2-1 since rafer alston returned...

    we look like we did when we were on that 22 game win streak!

    ROckets win by 7... 87- 80!

    BELIEVE.

    I feel we should start with Landry at the 4 and bring Scola off the bench. Landry likes to take the ball hard to the basket and this along with his elevation bothers Utah more than Scola's finesse but both of them will have to do very well along with everyone else if we are to win.
    GO ROCKETS GO! WE BELIEVE IN YOU!

    hope we win, but we probably won't

    we are due to get blown out.
