GT: Playoffs 2007 - 1st Round - Rockets vs. Jazz G5

<div class="quote_poster">tracymcgrady_01 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">These idiot Bulls fans dont no jack about Basketball.. Arent we arguably the best defensive team in the nba? if so, does it matter how the bulls play? The only team that gives us problems if PHX and they certainly don't play like PHX, and when I try to tell them how they will guard T-Mac and what a good job Shane can do on Deng, they keep saying they dont play 1 on 1 basketball.. So I was like w/e, I dont even watch the bulls play but I was just seeing what people thought a series between us and the bulls would be like, and I questioned one of the bulls fans' responses cuz he said the Bulls would be better or something like that, I forgot but, Man these bulls fans are so hyper now that they just swept a team..</div>

Let's not get ahead of ourselves! We haven't won the chance to play an Eastern Conference team, yet. We are the best defensive team in the league, but San Antonio plays a more HEART filled defense than us. The Bulls go off tempo, whoever is playing best they feed off of. They have consistent players, but that isn't to say if Hinrich is scoring more than Deng in Gordon, they'll shy away from Hinrich. If Shane Battier is scoring more than Yao and Mac, we make sure the other two are involved.

Anyways, they're a really good, enjoyable team, we haven't earned the right to be where they are. And, whenever you sweep a team you feel on top of the world. . . not matter who they are. Not only just SWEEPING a team, they just beat the defending champions, a team very similarly built like us (though, Shaq is old, Wade isn't 70%).

It is imperative that the Rockets make a statement in this game (I say this again so that I don't digress). We need to find our defense and play a full, 48 minute game. And thank you to Chuck Barkley for calling out Tracy. We've seen how Boozer responded, so we at least know that players are aware of what Charles says. Come on T-Mac, carry us on your back (but not all of us, we need your back healthy).

 

No worries, we have home court advantage, the Jazz will Choke

 

rockets take game 5 by blow out

 

all I'm saying is if we don't win, then we'll lose this series, and if we lose this series then some major changes need to happen this offseason.............I'm headed out for the game in a little bit and I plan to lose my voice tonight...I suggest we all do the same...........go rockets!!!

 

I am not going to this one. I spent too much money at the first two games, and I couldn't imagine being there if we lost today.

Go Rockets!

 

Ok, here we go, let's cross the uncrossable

 

We are so soft, still no sign of true reaction from the big loss last night. And T-Mac possibly injured. It's hard, very hard.

 

is it me or do the rockets (specifically alston) need to make better entry passes? Yao's not quick enough to catch off target passes, so making a good entry pass is crucial. darn, tmac went into the locker room... if he's not 100%, I think it's game over for us. Watching the rockets play is so frustrating.

 

What about the refs? About 4 horrible calls, or better, no calls...

 

FREAKING KIRILENKO! He hit T-Mac with both of his forearms right on his lower back.

Coincedence? Think not. Sloan's players still playing dirty.

 

..Okur isnt even a good defender, Yao needs to hit some shots....

 

Another scoreless night, Yao sleeping, Rockets down by 10 (and we are lucky), Utah's ball.

 

Head can't hit a 3, Chuck can't get it going offensively, we are still down!

 

Yao/Mac combo heating up!!!

 

Can you believe we are still in the game?

C'MOOOOOOOON!

 

Damn, Boozer is eating Yao alive!

 

cmonnn...bring some fire rockets!...fire!

 

Stupid Alston! Idiot! what the hell of a pass was that at this point of the game?!

 

An airball by McGrady and 6-0 run by Utah in a minute. Great...

 

don't choke now man.....
