This game 4 promises to be a classical physical game. The first 5 minutes will be keyed in the Rockets having a chance to even the series. GO ROCKETS!!
The fact that there is actually some truth in what you say just shows how low and pathetic the NBA game has now become.
BTW, all of this whining about Utah flopping is getting real old. If you think that the Jazz are floppers, then you haven't watched the Mavs or the Spurs. If anything the Rockets need more floppers...[/QUOTE] Seems like you haven't watched the games lately if you think the Jazz flop less than those 2..
I was referring to the report and not speculation on your part. Sorry if I didn't make that clearer. Something like this sort of fits in with the general mood on this board that the Jazz will try to thug it up in the next game. There's been an awful lot of complaining about the Jazz's "physical" style of play and a lot of it strikes me as whining. If you recall, the refs sort of sent out a message in the last game that stuff wasn't going to be tolerated. Utah already gets more fouls called on them than any other team and to go out and foul more would be stupid on their part because it would help keep Houston in the game. Actually what I saw Jerry Sloan say was that the Jazz needed to trust in their offense more. The key will be just how well the Jazz shoot at the start of the game.
I've been comparing the NBA game to wwf etc for quite some time and I don't get a lot of support for a clean game, so screw it! ELBOWS AND CONCUSSIONS! CHEAP SHOTS AND LOTS OF ENTERTAINMENT TO SELL VIDEOS THIS SUMMER! AND, ABOVE ALL A ROCKETS WIN!!! A ROMAN COLISEUM ENVIRONMENT CANNOT BE MANY YEARS AWAY.
You never hear any of the media or the announcers saying " man those Jazz play dirty and they flop all the time ! " I mean no one other than the opponnents see this ! They are allowed to get away with murder. I think the Rockets have handled themselves pretty well cause I've even wanted to jump in the TV and b**** slap a few Jazzers myself
Man the WWF is much cleaner than the NBA. At least they make no pretenses about their games being "fair", and there are rules about how you can hit, which props outside the ring are legal, fewer injuries, and no cheap shots.
Utah being mor physical huh, well let's just hit them hard and get back up, no pain!! no pain! I have a feeling game 4 will look a little something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1LlUAAOxy8
