Be careful what you wish for Utah. This Rockets team has a much better set of role players than last year's team.
if we had the t-mac of 05 i'd predict a sweep. unfortunately the t-mac we have now can't hit a jumper to save his life, so we need huge contributions from everyone. we're defintely not favored dthough.
Bucher just reported Williams is out the rest of the game tonight with a sore right buttock. I hope it hurts after we beat it.
How is it that we play utah??? I thought its 4 vs 5 seeds that play. This seeding is confusing. 1. lakers 57-25 2. new orleans 56-26 3. spurs 56-26 4. rockets 55-27 5. suns 55-27 6. utah 54-28 7. mavs 51-31 8. nuggets 49-32
The thing i am worried about is the outside shooting by Okur. As you saw today, Deke will not run out to contest the three. Let's just hope Tracy doesn't shoot like crap and Scola gets hot so Boozer would have a hard time guarding him. Rockets, Jazz 08! GO ROCKETS
Because the j*zz won thier crappy division, therefore are guaranteed a top four seed regardless of thier record.
Then why do the rockets get a 4 seed, or homecourt?? The suns will have a better record than the jazz, just like the rockets will. I'd rather the suns play the rockets. The suns play no defense, and we can run pick and rolls all day against shaq. The jazz are too athletic for the rockets, and I cannot stand the way the refs cheat in utah!
Utah has the worst road record among western conference playoff teams at 17-24(tied with Dallas and Denver). The Rockets are 20-1 in their last 21 games at home with the lone loss coming against Boston. We've beaten Phoenix, San Antonio, New Orleans, Denver, Golden State, Dallas, Detroit, and the Lakers at home this year. We WILL win the first 2 games.
