Sorry, I had no time to make this thread today. I had my teacher come over then I went straight to work for 6 and a half hours... just got home. Discuss the rest of the game here. Memo finally showing up though, christ. He's drilling it from deep in this 3rd quarter.
I think Houston is really tired. And so far up to this point, home court has proved to be effective for each team. Cmon guys, this is NBA playoffs, lets go crazy!
SOMEONE on Houston outside of T-mac/Yao has to step up. They are sleepwalking and don't have the energy they had in game 5. If they want to win, the role players, specifically Battier, need to step up.
That was a weird technical, I think Okur should have gotten a tech too, he intiated the fight. Also, I expect howard to be fined for hitting Bavetta, he was all over him.

Damn, we have 2 homeschooled kids here? What's wrong with you people? Just go to regular school... :/
Well, going to game 7. Rockets will need a LOT more energy than they had tonight, T-Mac will need to continue to drive to the rim, and the role players need to step up.Dissapointing loss, they were within 1pt on multiple occasions.
AK47 finally showed up It was so nice seeing the AK of old, If he can do this in game seven the Jazz will win.
WOw like I said before the series started that AK47 would have an impact- well so far it had been minimul but tonight he was BIG- 5blk 3 stl 5 reb 4 ass and shot 60%That was always the danger getting Utah in the playoffs- that AK might play like his old self - still not there but sure impacted tonight- Look here comes a game 7WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOedit- he had 3 steals not 1
Alright, Game 7 coming up baby! I love intense series' like this, this is what the playoffs are all about. I predicted Houston to take it in 7, hopefully my prediction comes out correct. T-Mac needs to get out of the 1st round, and if this Houston team doesn't get out, I'll be very disappointed. But AK47 showed up tonight (FINALLY) and Okur was hitting some shots. Boozer has been great all series long and Deron has done a decent job for the most part, having AK finally show up was HUGE for Utah. HUGE. Bring on Game 7!
Now that I have had some time to reflect, here are 3 main issues the Rockets had in game 6 that cannot happen in game:-Defense. Where has the suffocating defense been? They are being eaten alive by Utah, and it is embaressing knowing what Houston is capable of. To keep AK-47 and Okur in check the whole series and have them go off tonight is unacceptable.-Energy. Look at the Spurs, and see how they play in home and away games...exactly the same. Houston has to learn this balance, although I think they won't have an energy problem in game 7.-Superstars need to step up. T-Mac can't go 1-8 in a half, and Yao can't keep turning it over.
God Yao just sucks. I hate him. Never liked him never thought he was good. He was garbage tonight. He's stiff and not fluent, and when you get a wide open Shane Battier, pass to him, not just screw around and get stuffed by Kirilenko.

He has no reason, but he hates them.
I like TMac, I like Iverson, I like KG, I like D12, I like lots of players outside Phoenix. I just hate Melo, Yao, Shaq, Arenas and Kobe, who happen to players you like.
I really have to give the edge to Houston tonight...They are playing at home and this has been a series dominated by home court advantage...Yao is going to have a big night and T-Mac is going to take over. It is about time for this team and Tracy to get out of the first round of the playoffs.
