If Head was this bad at home, imagine him on the road at Utah. Oh wait, just look at last year's playoffs for an idea of what's to come. I have a bad feeling of a 7/21 performance from Tmac.

Man, if Rocket fans were pissed about the reffing in games 1 and 2... I can't wait to see what happens after this one. Rocket fans are going to be **** all over themselves. If you thought you got cheated tonight, I would watch the Office on Thursday instead of this one. You'll be pissed.

Dude, why the hostility? Get over it... fans get pissed off all the time.

TMACFORMVP, I am stealing your sig for the playoffs.
We have to win 4 out the next 6 games (3 at SLC)...

Much more difficult situation than when the Heat won the next 4 games against the Mavs... Almost impossible, but go Rockets!

How was I hostile? It was an observation; nothing more and nothing less.

I don't see any benefit in that type of response. It's neither informative nor encouraging. You're an enemy zone and it appears to me that you want to start another flame war.

You're not a mod, so don't mod me... and I didn't say any anti-rockets comments nor did I say any pro-jazz comments. I was only stating that the refs tend to give Utah an advantage at home. How is that fuel for a flame war? Get a grip. Most rockets fan will agree with me.

I think it will be a good game.

(happy?)

It is clearly the way you "said" it. Had you posted this comment originally I doubt there would have been a problem. The tone of a post, just like the tone of your voice can impact your perceived message to the listener/reader.

You definitely have a point about the refs and the homecourt advantage that the Jazz will enjoy.

Nope, that's not what you were here for and we don't appreciate your hidden motives. You're basically implying that your opinion on the ref's call was right and that we're wrong. Why don't you recall what you said on our thread? Calling our guys dumb for defending Scola, and trying to prove you're better than everyone here because you would "man up and admit" will not do any good here.

You are right, I am not a mod and I don't want to start another argument with you. But your idea doesn't sell here.

The Chicken will be missed but we can always bring it back for the draft and the next season.

And I blame RaoulDeke for his poor judgment to get rid of the bunny. He/she had single-handedly carried this team through the 22 game winning streak. Bad Raoul... :banghead:

My idea? What idea? Oh, the idea that the refs will favor Utah at home? My bad for saying that. That is more of an anti-refs statement than anything. Oh, and hidden motives? The only motive I had in posting that was to say that the refs will give Utah the edge in Utah and that it would be frustrating to watch. I'm done with this. You're a little oversensitive. I think most on this board will agree with me that the refs are pretty bad in Utah and will be influenced by the crowd. Anyone disagree?

It would be a miracle if we got this game. This is the "Win or go home" game. Nobody comes back from 3-0 deficit in the playoffs (except the Red Sox, but that's baseball). We need this, or we are toast.

Good luck. This should be the toughest game of the year, where probably they know they will not win the series, but they can run away with tanking blowouts, and put up a fight, grab their clothes bathed with blood from the floor, and depart the arena with dignity. The next two games, even if losses, depending on effort and heart, might define the future of the franchise.

Good luck Rockets, good luck.
