    I kinda want this to go to game 7. Have the Rockets trail by 25 by halftime, then come out winning the game by 1 with a winning 3 by Scola [or Hayes] at the buzzer. How heart breaking would that be? HUAHAHAHA!

    I've been a die hard Rockets fan since before the championship years, but I'm having a hard time believing the Rockets can win this series. Utah is gonna make this series as physical as possible and were already thin at the point guard spot. I REALLY hope I'm wrong though.

    I think the Jazz will win this in 6 games. That's my head, not my heart.

    Without Yao and no other real scoring threat besides Tmac (who's in a slump as well)....we're very vulnerable. Rafer being out 2 games gives the Jazz a good chance to steal one of the first two games, and we won't win in Utah.

    Still, let's hope for the best.

    it seems a trend with tmac and the rockets.

    anyway. no one believes me but derek fisher was a huge loss for the jazz, they are missing their leader and are not as mentally strong as they were when they had him.

    if it goes to seven, rockets win.


    prediction: rockets in seven.

    Seriously.

    I think we're going to get owned. We won't win one in Utah and they're going to take 1 here. So Jazz in 6.

    Of course I want the Rockets to win. I want the Rockets in 7. I'm ready for another bought of game 7 anxiety, so long as we get the win. I was so sad last season because we almost had it. 2 minutes away. Plus I had to shave my head as a stupid bet with my Warrior-fan friend.

    I really dont like our chances this year in the playoffs, but anything can happen, Rockets will probably lose in 6/7 games and I hope Im wrong.

    really hoping for a series win in 6, but i feel it's going to take 7. games 1 and 2 should set the tempo on how we take it at home, and if mcgrady is going to raise his game or blame it on depth perception.

    We win in 6. I want to see the Rocket celebrate on the Jazz's home court.

    Yao didn't have much of use against Utah anyways. Two reasons I think we have a better chance this year: first, we have a better match up against boozer: scola+landry; second, we just HATE the jazz. Given the chance, rox fans would eat them alive. umm..well, I will.

    Oh yeah, I feel it now, PLAYOFFS ARE COMMING.

    I'd say Houston Rockets in 6 games, really. Of course will miss Yao but at leasy we will be able to play better defense on Okur, Boozer.

    The key would be to win in Salt Lake City, Jass are really great at home,

    these are really mistaken.

    and why "we just HATE the jazz" is your second of the 2 reasons we match up better with them this year? lol.
