ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 5/2/2008 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

Damn and I came home too late to watch this game =( Looks like missed shots cost us the game again? 39% FG and 26% 3PT o_o Well that really sucks, I hope (and they probably will) Lakers own the Jazz =D

We're really just missing one more key player to our roster, and maybe some of our current players could improve a little bit more.

 

I gota give it to the guy....atleast Tmac came out and had another great game... somthing he hasnt done well in the past...

 

dude put up 29 and 13 last yr in the playoffs.

 

Alston, Tmac, Novak play good games,

but Playoff games become a headache for Roother Head

 

Next year, they'll be the champion

 

I felt so - is dejected the word? - as the Rockets were losing the other night. I wanted so badly for them to win!

I am so proud of our guys though, and of all the injury-adversity that we were able to battle and persevere through. It makes sense, in a way, that things might end this way, but it's still frustrating and a disappointment.

We have SO much to be proud of - and I AM A PROUD ROCKETS FAN! Hold your heads high... we fought and battled and came close... who knows what next season might bring?!?

Way to go Rockets!

BattiersBaby.

 

looks like a tight utah vs. lakers game. Utah 87, LA Lakers 93 hopefully mormons loose(Jazz)

 

Tmac had some great games last year too.. put he also shot us into the cr@pper in some games too...

especially in the game the last game that counted..


this year with the series on the line... he came out and did his job...

 

Man, I haven't look at this site because I didn't want to be reminded we lost, but overall, what a f'd up game friday night...I was so stoked about the comeback before half, but damn, everyone dissappeared...

Have to give T-mac credit for coming out and playing, but no one else did..One person can't win the game...

Now, for next year, we should be money, assuming everyone stays healthy...we have a great young team with really good chemistry...we definitely need a shooter to pick up the slack...

Overall, a great season and I can't wait for next year...

 

scola did come out balling. i was so proud of the dude. only him and tmac scored more than 2 fgs. that stat is reminiscent of the one in game 4 last yr when we had only 4 guys scoring.

but the rest -> garbage (garbage on offense, rebounding, AND defense)

 

Anyone see an update on Alston? I haven't seen anything on how bad his ankle was. Just tweaked it or was it worse. I think the in game commentators said it was swelling up pretty good.

Thanks.

 

Apparently his ankle is so bad that it will cause him to shoot below 40% for the rest of his career.

I stand corrected, yes, Scola was there, but everyone else was a no show...Jazz still suck...

 

So a big improvement then...

 

By that logic if the other ankle gets messed up he'll get to 42%.

 

Send in Tanya Harding to finish the deal.

he had his best game of the series last year in game 7 (29 pts on 48% sooting, 13 assists and 5 rebs), just like he had his best game of the series in game 6 this season.

 

Interesting stat on defending Tmac and Kobe:
AK47 had 2.7 fouls pg against Rockets in 32 minutes
6.0 fouls pg against Lakers in 29 minutes.

I guess he changed his style and was fouling a lot more against Kobe.

Boozer is up a lot as well.

Maybe next year the Rockets will be ready with face elbows like Kobe does.

 

And that is the exact opposite of choking...anti choking as a matter of fact he always performs better in the games that count the most
