Rockets fans still refuse to admit the Jazz are the better team.

Get over yourselves. Till Tmac mans up and does something other than hoist jumpers, and until Scola stops being such a soft pussy and to start making some layups, you aren't going anywhere. Boozer had a garbage game and we still win by double digits...give me a break.

someone take care of this trash erm troll?

That'd be if the Jazz played well, we were tied 74-74 with around 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter. We didn't execute and had a lot of defensive lapses. No excuses for this loss.

Yeah, Rafer's been shooting about 30-40% over the last 7 games, while having uncharacteristic turnover problems.

It was nice to see Battier show up for once this season. Every time he turned around it seemed like he was blocking another shot (after someone else had just fouled the guy)

Did anyone else notice that Landry kept going straight for the dunk over Utah's pretty large front line and getting turned back? It seemed like he let his head get a little big for a game and decided to try and be Shaq.

Nice to see Novak do something too.

For all that went wrong this game, it was still entertaining. We just completely blew the fourth and freethrow line. One thing that blew my mind was how Adelman left Novak in for so long after he stopped shooting. Sure the hot streak was nice, but as was pointed out, if he's not shooting, he's not doing much.

I also still don't think it's critical that we have this third option. Sure it'd be nice, but it's not critical. What we NEED is for our stars to be more consistent and have a lot less stink-em-up games, particularly Mac ([perpetual] injury notwithstanding).

And as far as McGrady taking a ton of 3's when he's not a 3 point shooter, he's only taking 18.4% of his shots from there. 81.6% are two's. 32% 3, about 47% 2's. That's a decent mix, although I'd like to see him take a little less as well.

Still fairly recent trade, was only just a little less than a month ago.

We are a different team now. We have KK, who is playing a much bigger role than Giricek was at the start of the season. He was in the doghouse pretty quickly, and if you see the box score for the first game, he was 0/3 in 9 minutes. Not to mention a healthy Harpring (minutes were limited due to knee injury for a while, not anymore), and AK getting his game back, I think clearly the Jazz are a beter team. Jazz have been playing horribly on the road, we lost @ NY and Charlotte, to name a few. It looks like that's turning around now. Jazz have the best home record in the NBA and I think we will win the season series again.

Pardon my inability to follow the NBA for the past month or so.

I was off this country for couple of weeks, and I also had other things to take care about. January has been a busy month.

Good game tonight guys.....actually it was pretty ugly game by both teams, that I thought could have gone either way, up until the back to back 3's by Korver.

I honestly think that the Jazz and Houston will both make the post season this year. Best of luck to you guys the rest of the season. See you guys back home in April!!

Peace, Im out!

with infection.but day to day. ı wrote it another topic , he will play against warriors.just hope , we can beat them..

MaxRider · Post #256 » by **MaxRider** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 6:24 pm

Warriors is going to use the same strategy on Yao
so we should sit Yao on that game to disrupt their gameplan
when come 2nd half we put Yao back in the game

CuttingEdge · Post #257 » by **CuttingEdge** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:03 pm

Yao would have smashed the Jazz and tenderized them for Spurs to further crush. Jazz beat the Spurs but if they had played Yao it would've have been 2 straight losses in Texas.
