We can do it again!

We can win another game at Salt Lake , we didn't play our best game yet.
I know Utah had a bad night too but if we play our best game we can still another one in Utah.

We gave up a ton of offenssive rebounds , and they had 2nd and 3rd chance everytime in the 1st half.

T-Mac missed a few layups that he normally makes.

We finished the half tied that we really needed to have about a 8 point lead if not for some bad luck.

Scola still shot under 40% , for one game in this series he will shoot a good % , you know it's coming.

We can do it again and I hope we do it in game 4 because game 6 might be too hard assuming we win game 5.
We need to rebound and play defense , keep the game close.
Taht will shake up their confidence a little and T-Mac will need to carry us if the game is close in the 4th.

I can't wait for game 4!!

Oh and BTW I'd like us to continue with the Jackson , Brooks rotation when Korver come in.
Jackson can blow by Korver anytime and Brooks can penetrate as well.

Key to the game:
McGrady must attack if his jumper isn't falling. Rafer needs to keep up his play, and LANDRY MUST GET MORE MINUTES LIKE GAME 3. He was a difference maker in the last game.

oh and

Bribe the refs before Utah does.

Utah's game plan is going to be tough, F.L.O.P. :nod:

I have a friend (the same one who i've mentioned as wanting to trade McGrady straight up for T.J. Ford) who is convinced that the series is playing out this way because Kirilenko is in with the Russian mob. He's perfectly serious. Funny thing is, the NBA officiating is actually bad enough that I really can't say that he's wrong, in spite of how his theory is completely off-the-wall.

Is it really possible that the NBA playoffs are just a big sack competition between the various mobs of the world for bragging rights on who is the best at exerting their influence to fix games? (i really can't decide if that question is hypothetical or not

)

If it's broke don't fix it. I say leave the refs alone. They're so bad they're giving both teams terrible calls. If we're able to pull out a game in the impossible Utah home court with that then it's good enough for me.

Looked to me like your guys played their hearts out, and Utah clanked about 600 free throws.

good luck in game 4, I doubt Utah will come out flat and miss a ton of freebies and jumpers like they did last night.

Its not whether or not we can. Its that we have no choice. We have to do it again. Be it game 4 or if necessary... a game 6. So whatever doubts we have our team has...it means nothing. They have no choice in the matter.

And to that Jazz fan. The same could be said about game 2 for the Rockets. We missed a ton of free throws that had we not missed...the game would have been ours. So it works both ways. You can say both teams cost themselves 1 game each by not making free throws.

The other thing is...that wasn't our best. It wasn't you guys best...but it wasn't ours either. All that happened in that game is that we kept it close and kept it close. You guys helped with that. And when it was winning time we finally got McGrady to win it for us. Nothing more happened other than that. We kept it close and put together a good 2mins of basketball.
