Will you feel confident this time around if you face the Jazz in the POs?

I will feel just as confident as I did the last two yrs, but we all know what happened.

 

definitely, Also Artest will get burned by DWill every play

 

So your reason for us getting past the 1st round this year if we play the Jazz is because Rafer isn't guarding Deron anymore?

That sure turned out well last year when Rafer was missing.

 

I'm all for it!! I really don't give a damn who we face I wanna see how this team responds when it really matters the most.

Who am I kidding? I hate 'em with every single white hair on my head. I wouldn't watch the playoff games if we go against the Jazz. I don't see myself watching 4 quarters of flopping and getting the freaking call OVER and OVER AGAIN.

 

My sentiments exactly. Different series with a healthy Alston. The Rockets won two of his starts, including one in Utah. The team defense was much better last year when Rafer was in. Bobby Jackson was better coming off the bench when Rafer started.

 

I'd be more confident this year than I was last year.

 

Yeah, Rox can defeat Utah this time if they meet in POs.

Because Rox hv 4 Home games and T-m is absent and Ron+Battier come back for us.

 

YAO WOULD WANT TO PLAY THE JAZZ AGAIN 100% for god sake...that dude is Chinese and Chinese got something called HONOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont be a ***** and take it like a man...if your scared to play anyone on the first round, that means you are not even worth mention when it comes to championship....

LET THEM JAZZHOE COMES win or lose there's nothing a night of sleep wouldn't cure.

 

Who said AK can't shoot over brooks??? Even jerry sloan can shoot over brooks straight up.

 

everyone has got a sense of honor, not only the chinese do.

 

it is a definitely not, we play the most passive game while face Utah, hardly any chance to win.

 

I don't want to see any team that has starters at 4 and 5 that have range out to 18 feet and can take Yao off the dribble. Ideally we will face a team with a slow, back to the basket center like Shaq.

 

Exactly...

 

our team just doesn't have any business how to cope with thuggy teams like Jazz, or even the warriors, though our team has more talent than the teams we always lose to. yao is from a country which is famous for kindness and hypocrisy, so he acts as if he is a infant bady that doesn't even want to
say a dirty word to the thug who maliciously steps his toe. and he sets a very bad mod for his teammates to follow.

 

Agreed.

 

Honestly, no. They've got the same mental pwnage on us that the Sonics once had. And Seattle didn't have the ridiculous home court officiating bias that the Jazz do.

 

Hell no. Rafer is miles ahead of Brooks in regards to defending Deron. I would kill myself if we had to battle them in the first round again.

 

NO RA won't have Ron to guard Deron, it's not his style.

But it's really a good idea.

 

those of you have who wants artest on williams have no idea what you're talking about. williams will break artest's ankles with his crossover. what's wrong with lowry on williams? i know brooks ain't got the size but lowry would be pretty good guarding williams

 

I wonder how much you had drunk before you posted. Deron would kill artest with his runs and jumpers if they matched up one on one, though Deron isn't a very fast PG compared to AB and CP.
