vs.






This would be a colossal win.

Lets do this!!!

[Reckless]

Kevin Martin can hurt us big time, hopefully we can keep him from going off

Both teams will have tired legs, bench play will be huge

We need quality minutes out of Millsap & Korver & co.

[carrottop12]

We'll see what Deron has left in the tank. Like Sloan always says though, you usually shoot better on the second game of back to backs, and personally I don't want to get into a shooting contest when the other team as Kevin Martin.

[carrottop12]

Rockets are 3-12 in the second game of their last 15 back to back games. The Jazz have won their last 5 games on the second night of back to backs.

Sounds like a good thing to me. Lets keep that trend going.

Love Deron's pic ^^^


Playing against Kevin last night, playing against Kevin today. Hopefully we can keep him below 20 points this time.

Ugh, I don't fell good about this game at all. Jazz didn't get to bed till 4AM last night and I'm sure everyone slept like **** after such a big game...

I hate to be "that" guy but I have a feeling Jazz lose by 10.

[Lava Rock Kid]

Jazz need some energy. This game has me worried.

[HolyToledo]

This would be a great win by the Jazz setting them up for the #2 seed. I think the Jazz do it!!! Deron and the Jazz are on a roll at the right time!!!!

AK-47 ever coming back???

I'm not the type of person who buys that you should automatically be at a disadvantage because you played the night before.

These players are conditioned and the Jazz have had a favorable schedule as of late that has provided them rest (this'll be only their second game in a 5 day span).

I'm more worried about the emotional letdown. This is a game they should win because Houston is not a good team. They also match up well with the Rockets. It's easy, unfortunately, to overlook them or focus too much on what happened last night.

With that said, this game does make me nervous. I thought it was the hardest of the three remaining road games and I know if Utah wins, it means they're extremely close to locking up that second seed. And while a loss would not be devastating (I believe if they finish 54-28 they get the 2nd spot), it does mean that the margin of error becomes smaller and that we'll have to scoreboard watch a bit longer than we should.

So win this. Rest up. Beat New Orleans and most certainly lock in that second spot against GS. Which means they could play that Phoenix game with nothing to lose.

Jazz by 17. These are the games that the jazz have no choice but to win.

Tonight would be damn perfect if we see Jazz win, Dallas loss, Denver loss, Phoenix loss and Knicks loss

[Jampod]

Hopefully Brooks doesn't go off on us again. Hopefully Deron and co. realize the magnitude of tonights game and decide to kick it into high gear.

[FJS]

What an ugly avatar....!


I hope a jazz win.. I 'm not so pessimistic... one loss could happen... but we need this one and Rockets aren't playing for nothing.

[Beto]

Well the game better not be close because with that statement from the NBA that the refs blew the call last night we're not going to get any breaks tonight...

[Jampod]

The toyota center is dead

Rockets fans are some of the most fairweather in the league. This arena is empty. They still have a winning team for godsakes!
