Man what a win, I didn't see it coming and literally wasn't even able to watch (or listen in my case) the game until 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter and after the Rockets just started playing with the Jazz. Crazy beautiful.

I thought it was a smart move to have Battier hanging out on DWill at times during the game as well. Give him a different look. Its nice when you make Williams play defense as well. He used to be able to take the day off on that end with Alston on the floor.
Yeah i remember how well AK defended T-mac and how Yao had trouble guarding Boozer. Quickness is their weakness. I just hate the Jazz more than any other team in the NBA and I don't respect their squad. DWill drove the ball in so many times out of control and still expected a bail out call. Can't blame him when he has no one to pass to (boozer 1/6 tonight). Okur travels half of the time before he puts the ball to the ground. This team just needs to play the game they way it was designed. I live here in San Antonio I pay money to watch the rockets... I want to see a good game.
I'm a bit of a lurker and unfortunately am a lurker who has been too busy to catch a game since the first one (hey, maybe I should keep missing them...3-0 without me watching) but I am proud as hell of these guys. This wasn't a game the Rocks were supposed to win, but they got it done with a team effort and what looks from the highlights/box to have been great overall play by almost everyone in their own right.
Call it hyperbole if you wish, but this was one of the greatest all time Rockets wins. Just the opposite of the last two playoff series in Utah. Gutsy, heady, gritty! Lots of heart! This team is really amazing me. On paper they don't look like much, on the court, they look determined and more talented than I expected.
We dominated them so much that you almost forget the refs were borderline cheating. Has anyone seen that many no-calls turned into fouls? You have to be proud of this team and their effort. I'm confused as to how good we can be but I know every night the hustle will be there.
I'm sure even DD will realize the main difference between Budinger and Von Wafer is the former's high IQ,even though he loves them both.
I do love them both, but I like Bud's game better, it is the style I like the best. I liked Von because he can flat out score the ball, and he would be AMAZING on this year's team....scoring so fast....we could have used him. Oh well......I just hope Chase keeps getting PT. Chase is at 50% FG and 40% 3ptFG....let's hope he keeps it up. DD
when the rebounding disadvantage was cut down to -5, we beat portland. when we actually (somehow) had an advantage in rebounding against the jazz, we won BIG. just amazing.
