    Prediction

    Huge game for both teams. The Rockets are favourites, and given Utah's recent struggles on the road (and inability to cover the spread) I'll give the edge to Houston in this one. I really hope I'm wrong though.

    Seems like Utah always steps up for big games and it should be no different for this one. I expect Rockets to drain a bunch of 3's but Okur to come up clutch with Yao on him on the perimeter.

    of course I hate utah for the stuff 10 years ago but you have to give them some credit for this season, of course I want home court for the Rockets but really it doesn't matter to me cuz the Rockets are a good away team and championship caliber teams win anywhere, whether its home or away

    Jazz win!!! It came down to the buzzer, but the Jazz managed to hold on after playing well towards the end of the fourth to take the lead. This should be a great confidence booster for the Jazz heading into a playoff series with Houston.

    I still can't believe we won. Boozer had like 5 pts in the 1st half and Yao completely dominated the entire game. I dunno how the hell we won. But we did. Hopefully we can hold on to this homecourt advantage.

    Congrats guys! You just got closer to homecourt advantage. Utah is probably the best matchup with Houston for an exciting series. I just hope this is the season T-mac and Yao finally advance.
