Awesome thread, 71. I may have to take Game 3...

We need to come out tonight and drop the hammer on them. I hope Sloan and the boys are as ready as they were in Game 1.

The Jazz need to win this just to get the series over with. No reason to have to make another trip to Houston this year, just end it here.

Key to tonight's game: Put a body on Scola.

Preferably Dom DeLuise's. Might actually slow him down a bit.

Let's see a good game tonight! Good luck, Rockets, and GO JAZZ!

I'm confident we win tonight

Brewer and Memo will both get on track
Booze will dominate inside

Rockets will continue to brick 3's

I think this game is extremely intense and tight, and will come down to the final minute. I see the Jazz winning with a big play in the clutch....but Houston could easily take it.

Either way, I fully expect to get Houston's best shot tonight. I think we can take them even while playing their best, but we'll have to be very sharp ourselves. Should be fun.

I would love for this to be a close Jazz win. I want an exciting game!

I think we should continue to play a physical game and make them shoot a lot of free throws. Put Scola and baby-mac on the line all night IMO.
