Since there is no game thread, I'll start one now. Overall Rockets defense is very sloppy. Chris Paul is single handedly disrupting our entire defense. He would penetrate and dish back out to Jackson. By the time hes inside, all the Rockets are completely out of rotation. I don't like how the others were following chris paul like that. Thank goodness we had a good offensive night, because this could have easily been a loss. Great job by TMac of stepping it up at the end. Edit: I noticed Yao was out of position a lot of times. He shouldnt be the one following Chris Paul
Yes, we won. T-Mac took care of business. Jumper after jumper. + Utah is losing to Phoenix 104-80 with 7:58 left! They lose to Portland (they beat Utah before), or we win vs Phoenix, and HC is ours. I don't want an 8 game series vs. Utah. The Rockets looked great offensively today.
Man this is going to be scary! Utah has Portland and Houston remaining and we have Suns and Utah left. I am predicting Utah blows Portland out and Houston loses to Suns. I guess we'll have to decide homecourt in our final game against Jazz at Utah. Dang it, doesnt sound really good. If we tie, they get homecourt. I really hope Tmac and Yao step up, and we knock Suns off to gurantee homecourt, because homecourt will be a big key to our win in playoffs.
I hope the Spurs lose to Dallas tomorrow so Phoenix will rest their players against us. If not, they will have to try and beat us, because they still have Clips on a back to back right after. SA can beat Phoenix without HC. If not, I think we can beat them. EDIT:^referring to the next game, not a 7 game series.
I'm so glad to eliminate N.O. from playoff contention, earlier this year when the rowdies taunted their squad when they were shooting around at halftime, Bobby Jackson and another scrub player acted like they really wanted to come into the stands and do something (eventhough we weren't saying anything that harsh).....last night a rowdie was taunting another one of their scrubs and he uttered the words of "we're making the playoffs"....I wish I could see that idiot now so I could laugh in his face, lol. But it was a great win, I loved the energy from the rockets and toyota center. Raefer (despite a couple of bad shots) played great, Shane was excellent, Yao was dominate, and Tmac did a good job of getting everyone involved and taking over in the 4th quarter.
