The Rockets are 2-1 with Utah this year, and they barely won the one game at their place, which was the 5th game in 7 days for the Rockets and on a b2b..... Let's see how they do Tuesday...it is a new day in Rocket land, before they were a bad matchup, but in reality when healthy it was a 7 game series decided late....not THAT bad a matchup. I ain't scrared ! DD
The first game we won at home in double over time and they were without Boozer and Okur. The second game we won because guess who, Rafer Alston went off making 5-7 three pointers. Boozer was also not there, although Artest wasn't either. But most important is the last game, where the Jazz were fully healthy against a fully healthy Rockets squad, and it looked no different from the previous two seasons. Boozer's quickness kills Yao. Deron Williams abuses our point guards. Okur stands out at the three point line swishing threes as he draws are bigs out of the paint. Hell, even Ronnie Brewer somehow goes off on us scoring 23 on us twice, and 19 the last game. We just match up poorly with them, they have one of the best home courts in the league, a great hall of fame coach, and lastly they seem to rise up when they play the Rockets. I'm not saying we can't beat them in a series, but you'd be crazy to hope for the matchup.
