I know B-Jax hasn't played great in every game of the series but calling him a member of the Jazz is a little cruel.

Key is getting off to a great start. If we get off to a good start and its like 17-5, Utah may just pack it in and decide to win it in SLC.

He earned it though. I mean, he goes 2-10 and maybe this series is even.

Utah has a great bench. We need to find a way to limit Korver, Harpring, Bobby Jackson and Millsap otherwise we have no chance.

Win or go home, as simple as that. Even though we are already home, we would stay home then and the season would be over.

I just put the same game thread I did in Game 3 and the second game of the season except change the the arena/date and Jackson's team. :lol:

BTW, this game is on NBATV.

well i dont know about you guys but i believe. our leader has the right attitude, the attitude you need to get out of one of these holes: when asked if he agreed with the statements of luis scola / carl landry, who said the rockets could still win the series, tmac said something along the lines of, "we need to win game 5." if jeff van gundy only taught one thing, it was to take the playoffs one game at a time, and the games one play at a time, and the plays one dribble at a time. tmac has the right attuitude, and as long as the rest of the players follow suit, we can win game 5 (and eventually the series).

dont blame it on any rocket, otherwise blame the rockets as a whole.

what we are capable of guarantees us a chance worth fighting for.

Harpring said they want to finish this quick so they can get rest before the next series.
Maybe he thinks they already won that cocky scrub.
We can't let that bitc* celebrate on our homecourt again.

I'm really hoping we can win this and send it to Game 6.

Make the Jazz close it out at home. If they aren't good enough, we'll happily take the series in Game 7.

This series is going back to Utah. That is all.

I wonder if we plan on going out on our home court like we did last year.

hey iggy what do you think t-mac mentality is going to this game.

it's elimination game, he's at home and he's been criticized by almost everyone, the team, the fans, the press, the jazzholes

in fact the jazzholes make fun of him (read that last article)

it's really sad, at least t-mac should have some pride and come out with the hunger, the heart of a lion and put his stamp on the game.

i just hope we extend this to 6 and put pressure on utah to close it at home.

Aw come on... cut Harpring a little slack. Plenty of players do this, and besides, what he said was pretty mellow. T-mac himself once said, "It feels great to finally be out of the first round."
