IMO Rockets drop one of the 1st 2 at home , then manages to steal one at Salt Lake and finish the series at home , this time with a win.
It will be a great series I hope.

i think im gona give it to the rockets in 7.....this series alone can determine if mcgrady will ever have a slight shot at making the hall of fame.

No it won't.
We are missing the best center in the league , or at least Co-best center.
Our starting pg for at least half a series.
We have a 41 year old center and a 36 year old pg starting.
and a rookie pf.
On the bench we have an undrafted undersized pf with no offense.
A 2nd ronund pick rookie pf.
A late 1st round pick backup pg.
A late 1st round pick backup sg.
This team has ALREADY OVERACHIEVED.

HCA give the Rockets a chance the Jazz can't win away from SLC. Let's hope t-mac gets hot for 1 game on the road and we steal one.

Jazz in 6, steal one in Houston then defend homecourt.

As a Houston fan, I think this is a reasonable prediction. I have to vote for a Rockets win, but if I weren't I think I would vote Jazz in 6, for the above reason.

We'll probably lose. But I am not gonna pick against these guys. Rockets in 7.

I think the Jazz is the better team, but my homer side tells me Rockets in 7.

It's going to be tough, but I'd rather have Boozer killing us instead of Duncan, Amare and Shaq.
