Return to Clutch City!!!

Biggest game of the season.

Happy that we got this far, considering we fell 2-0 down playing at home.

The pressure is all on the Jazz.

You might think that the pressure is on us, since we can't afford to lose, but for Utah, this really was the unloseable series, after claiming the first two games in Houston. 37-4 in the regular season means that they are so tough to beat at home.

For us to succeed, we must stick with the Jazz in the first half. No big deficits, it's playoff basketball and 10 points feels like 20.

If we can stay close, and give ourselves a chance in the fourth quarter, we have the one man who can make the difference.

play as a team and play with heart

If we lose it's the OP's fault ;D

Lets win this for Tmacformvp We are going to have to play at full force defensively, and on the offensive end, lets just how they have it going.

Biggest game of the season for us.

We have to play great just like we played in Game 5. T-Mac has to the T-Mac of the last game. We can do this.

Go Rockets.

If T-Mac, Rafer, and Scola all bring their A games, Mutombo and Battier just be themselves and do what they always do, BJax and Landry continue to be sparks off the bench, and we play that suffocating Rockets defense we will be very tough to beat

Of course that's a lot of ifs, but I believe we can do this...and I'm looking forward to a great Game 6.

Go Rox

That's what I was afraid of.

Our bench is a HUGE key. Yesterday they came in and not only maintained the lead, but they took a 2 point lead to the double digit one we never let go of. Jackson was horrible off the bench for the Jazz (;)) He needs to have another game like that even if we want to have a chance.

You know they'll come out strong. Their big three will have much better games, hopefully our offense can match. We need better efforts from everybody especially Battier who was only 1-8 last game.

Definitely a winnable game. Let's go and take it.

Let's bring the momentum to the Jazz and carry the series back to Houston!

Again, WIN OR GO HOME. THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL GAME IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. I think if we can get this game, we have a good chance to win the series. We really need this game, and everyone needs to shoot the ball well. That is the key. We have to continue to play our stellar defense, but most importantly, we need to concentrate. I think the Jazz are going to come out early and lay it on us. We have to "punch" them back early so we can stay in the game. As you know, we blew them out, they are going to be pretty pumped up for game 6 at ESA.

well not so much play you guys, i just dont like Utah or their fans

Good luck Rockets (but not TOO much luck.)

This game has me very scared, and I agree: The pressure is all on Utah to close this thing out on their home court. If we lose, I can't see us winning a Game 7 again at your place.

And if you guys do end up beating us, I'll be rooting hard for you to overthrow those god damn Lakers.

That's probably the nicest thing a Jazz fan has said to the Rockets in a long time. Thank you!

I think Rockets win this one. All the pressure is on Jazz and Boozer and AK47 are struggling right now. Utah was fortunate to win the last game at their place. Plus I just hate the Jazz and their low life low class fans.

Win or go home man, we better come out just like we did in game 5!!!!



Come on HTown!
