Jazz vs Rockets (Utah leads 3-1)

And it continues...

The RealGM gods have spoken. Your whinyness has displeased them. Your new thread will contain basketball strategy and athletic discourse. So it is written by these gold plates.

It's not going to be easy, almost unlikely, he's gotta do the impossible and just get his team a W in one of the toughest arenas to play. It's time to Win or Go Home. Tmac has just got to rise to the occasion and play some amazing bball....



good job tmac

we're going back to houston!!


at least for 1 more game :)

McGrady has done an OK job so far (23.3/8/7.7), but needs to be a lot more efficient (shooting only 39% from the field and 60% from the line), and play better in the 4th quarter. Of course, he played much better in 4q of game 3 than previous games.

Rockets also need to play more physical in general. Can't let the Jazz knock your tooth out and not respond.

Scola needs to start looking up when he gets under the basket. Every time he initiates a move towards the basket he drops his head and looks at the floor. I know he has a tough time against taller players but he's already at a disadvantage by doing that.

I don't usually care for the photoshop wars, you know I love them, but the polygamy and now the race thing.. geez, some people should get some common sense from e-bay.

I think Raps and Lakers have more white people.

Duiz thats a great sig, "filling the shoes of a legend" huh? Well Deron has done great so far, and will only get better, especially after he develops that flop, he IMO will rise above CP3 :lol:

Utah's black players: 9
Utah's white players: 5

Not only is the racial stuff annoying and obviously untrue, but I think it's really just uncalled for. Can we have trash-talking and insults without playing the "Utah's a bunch of white people who have multiple wives" ****?

I mean, people would be rightfully offended if I started talking about how Houston was all black people who sleep around and do drugs.

It's just insulting and unnecessary to make racial quips. There's so much to make fun of the Jazz for too besides, "Hey, there's white mormons in Salt Lake City."

I'm not even from there either. I live in Baltimore. It's just obnoxious.

Dont forget the complaining to the ref after the bull charge attempt doesn't get him to the line.





... Tough game for utah. No one but Deron showed up to play. Booz looked soft all game, we got beat to EVERY loose ball, out hustled, just plain out played last night.

Props to Houston for not just rolling over, although there were a few times during game that I thought TMAC was fed up and was ready to quit. But he didn't, he showed up in a big way. Rafer proved to be a big improvement, but still I blame this lose solely on lack of effort by the Utah Jazz. Nothing more, nothing less.
