ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 5/3/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

Rockets win by 1.

Rox 90
Jazz 89

Luther hits the winning shot.

 

We really need to win this game and close out the series on the road. I think it will do wonders for our confidence. You have to be able to win on the road in the playoffs. What better timing to get our first road playoff than in a series clinching game.


GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Lets send Ak-47 home to work out his issues in private, although I like our chances in a game 7 its time to exercise our will over this team, that is the only way to show that we are ready for the next level. Bring on Golden State!! Home court advantage in the second round who would've thunk it!!

 

we have to win this game. it would be so sweet to shove it down their throats in their own building. tmac has to be like he was in game five. the bench needs to step it up once more. end it now and rest for the 2nd round.

 

The only way I see the Rockets winning this game is if it is close in the 4th quarter and Utah feels the pressure and panics.

All year long Houston has had a problem holding leads, or playing tough in situations they feel they have some leeway in.....they get complacent.

This is one of those games.

Utah comes out on fire.....plays hard early and if Houston does not match their intensity, I think it will come back to Houston.

So, grudgingly I say.

I had a quick TMac sighting lastnight, nothing to start a new thread about. I was walking back up the stairs of my apartment complex after getting my mail at around 11:15 pm, I almost run into this guy walking down the stair and I look up and IT'S FREAKING TMAC!!!

I said "what's up TMac" and he said "what's up...I see you got the TMac's on" (I had just gotten done playing ball). That's all. I wasn't all that star struck because I see the players a lot because of my job, I'll leave it at that.

 

It is gonna be a tough tough game to win in Utah. I hope they come in there with a tough tough mentality.

 

I know as usual, Utah will get the same b.s. calls but we have to play with that and KEEP ATTACKING THE BASKET. Whoever gets hot, give them the ball JVG! Every championship team has to win on the road. Let's shut them up in Utah and prove we're better. Send them packing! Go Rockets!!!!!

 

When will this team leave for salt lake city? I hope they go there one day early and get used to the altitude, which I think did play a role in their horrendous plays of game 3 and 4, especially to Yao's stamina. Go there, adapt the altitude, and get the right attitude.

 

hopefully we can close this game

its going to be really crazy in Utah, I hope Yao gets his touch back, we need him

 

we need a win at utah to prove that we are a strong team.
and yao should show us that he is not soft

 

Probably another ugly lose. TMAC dream walk and Yao gets owned.
(sorry about this, but everytime I wrote negative comments, positive result will come out )

 

that's pretty sweet, u should've gotten him to teach u a move

 

So keep it going

I really wanna see the same type of McGrady that I saw in game 5. I think he understands now how he has to play. He has to take the ball to the basket, score easy points in teh paint, draw fouls, passes the bal to wide open shooters and play just like he did in game 5.

 

I originally thought this game would be tonight...I think the Rox come out and play consistent bball and win...

Rox: 101

Jazzholes: 98

 

Rafer is gonna be clutch.

 

jazz will come out with fire and intensity which we won't be able to match. t-mac will hold onto the ball for 10 seconds at the end of the half and wait for time to run out, and we'll be down by 15 at halftime. second half jazz runs away with it.



hope my jynx works!

 

For rockets to win,

1. TMAC and others repeat game 5 performance.
2. Yao play much determined than previous games.

Utah will be consistantly better while rockets keep swaying. 12 pts differential.

 

Will this game be televised live in China? Based on the previous information IIRC it will be on channel cctv-5 or cctv-9 at 8 am tomorrow?

 

Rockets win. T-Mac goes crazy and scores 50 for his first series win. Yao has a great game too. This is going to be a tough game but, T-Mac wants the win and he will get it!
