If Utah is this bad on the road they don't stand a chance @ LAL
This thread is a testament to the pansies that are the Utah Jazz. Yeah we don't like your city. Your milk toast crowd. Your multiple wives. Your flopping basketball play. Your coach who teaches his players to foul as much as possible because the ref's can't call every foul or the game would be too long.
This thread is a testament to the cheaters that call themselves the Jazz and the entire city of Salt Lake. Your crybaby Kirilenko and your Ashton Kutcher wannabes.

Jazz try to close out Rockets at home

2007-08 Stats at a GlanceSALT LAKE CITY (AP) The playoff series the Utah Jazz appeared to have firmly in their control could be teetering.
The Jazz host the Houston Rockets on Friday in Game 6 of the best-of-7 series. Utah leads 3-2 and is just one victory away from advancing to the second round, but the Jazz are also only one loss away from a winner-take-all Game 7 back in Houston.
"We have home-court advantage right now and we don't want to lose it. We need to treat it really like Game 7,'' Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko said.
The Rockets not only staved off elimination by winning Game 5, they did it by dominating more than either team had through the first four games. The 95-69 win Tuesday was an example of how quickly Tracy McGrady and the Rockets can pull away in a game.
The Jazz know it could also be pivotal in a series they have led 2-0 and then 3-1.
"They're just playing better and better every game. That's where we've got to be concerned,'' guard Deron Williams said. "After those first two losses, it seems like they're a different team - a more determined team.''
One thing in the Jazz's favor is they haven't had trouble regrouping after losses this season. Utah has not lost back-to-back games since the end of December.
That could easily change if the Jazz play like they did Tuesday. The Jazz have gone 58-for-146 over the past two games, making only two of 23 3-pointers. On Tuesday, the Jazz were 27-for-74 and committed 18 turnovers while scoring the fewest points they have all season.
With the woeful outside shooting, Houston has been able to back off a little on defense and focus more on shutting down the Jazz in the paint.
The shots that went in earlier in the series haven't been going in lately.
"Let's not concentrate on that. Let's get inside,'' Kirilenko said. "We've never been like such a great team from the 3. We've always been successful from the paint.''
Utah still leads the series and has a chance to clinch at home, but the Rockets are unlikely to be rattled by the rowdy fans that cheered on the Jazz to a 37-4 home record during the regular season. Houston split the two games here last week and is one of the few teams to win in EnergySolutions Arena during the regular season.
"This is going to be their best shot. They really think they have to win this game,'' Houston coach Rick Adelman said.
McGrady had his left knee wrapped during a light practice Thursday in Houston. He said the soreness that kept him out of 12 games midway through the season has returned, although it didn't seem to slow him much as he scored 29 on Tuesday.
For a team that won 22 in a row this season, a three-game winning streak sounds quite possible, even with the pressure of having the season on the line.
"We've stayed confident. When we were down 3-1, we were confident. We never lose our confidence. We feel that we can win in that building,'' McGrady said.
If Houston wins Friday, the Rockets will host the Jazz in a Game 7 for the second straight year. Utah came up with a road win and advanced a year ago, but having to repeat that would be daunting.
"It'd be great for us if we could come back with a game. That means Game 7 is on our home court and we get a chance to redeem ourselves (from last year),'' McGrady said.
Despite any confidence the Rockets gained Tuesday, they are still playing an elimination game. If the Jazz win, they will be headed to Los Angeles to start the Western Conference semifinals against the Lakers on Sunday.
The Jazz know they had a lackluster outing in a game the could have ended the series. They still have home-court advantage, thanks to opening the series with two wins at Houston and don't want to give it back to the Rockets.
"You've got to take care of it when you have the opportunity for it. You can't say 'well we'll get them next game,''' Utah coach Jerry Sloan said.
Today is the day! 10:30 PM ET
this really is game 7. if we are able to pull this game out i envision game 7 would be like game 5. it should be a of a game tonight and i think deron's quote says it all...
"They're just playing better and better every game. That's where we've got to be concerned,'' guard Deron Williams said. "After those first two losses, it seems like they're a different team - a more determined team.''
but all the determination in the world won't make you win if you can't hit a shot like the rockets in game 4. if rafer is hitting his shots early then the rockets will win.
I'm so sick and tired of these idiot Rockets. Time for Utah to send them home tonight. Stupid flukes.
LOL I have been waiting for this post. Thank you!! We are guaranteed the win tonight courtesy of SpursDynasty
The Rockets won't win in Utah but they gave it a good try.
On the positive side, I think the Rockets have one of the best looking uniforms. The Jazz have one of the uglier ones.
#1 Lakers Sunday White jersey
#2 Rockets Red and Silver
#1,000 Washington Wizards Gold jersey
the arena will be insane.
impossible to know which way it will go.
If the Rockets bet the game on their defense, and McGrady is hitting, they could pull it off.
great playoff drama!!
Lakers loving the rest and their HCA.
i disagree about t-mac hitting. obviously if he is hitting then we are great but it's all about rafer, bobby jackson, and scola. i've said it a ton of times about rafer...i don't think there is another non-superstar player that has more effect on the success of his team. if rafer plays well the rockets are a VERY tough team, but if he is off.
and if scola has another game where he doesn't flopand actually stays upright and plays defense then that will be a huge benefit for the rockets.
but no matter what the outcome is i hope the refs call a consistent game. if they have another terrible game where they can't decide on what level of tough plays and flopping they are going to allow then it will make the game pretty hard to watch. hopefully, they will ignore all flopping....but being in utah i doubt that will happen.
The Jazz are sure to double T-Mac as in all the other games. This one is on Scola and Landry!
...this is a bad situation. refs are certainly calling the game for the jazz.
i will be amazed if we win. that last play would have been a foul on the rockets if it was okur going to the basket. instead it was scola going to the basket and getting hacked but no call.
at least scola isn't flopping so far.
anyhow...the jazz are getting the calls. we are going to have to turn the tide somehow.
Does ESPN do the whole "fishing pictures" like TNT? If so, they should do one of Tmac, Princess Pimp, and Spurs_Dynasty_21 (with a Scola jersey) crying while they're fishing.
Funny pics, nice post.This thread is a testament to the pansies that are the Utah Jazz. Yeah we don't like your city. Your milk toast crowd. Your multiple wives. Your flopping basketball play. Your coach who teaches his players to foul as much as possible because the ref's can't call every foul or the game would be too long.
This thread is a testament to the cheaters that call themselves the Jazz and the entire city of Salt Lake. Your crybaby Kirilenko and your Ashton Kutcher wannabes. Yes we hate your powder puff blue gay uniforms, the name of your team which you stole from New Orleans, your strange fans who are at best creepy. Like who the does this???

Can't you just feel the love!
Can't you just feel the passion!
wtf is that old over-tanned white haired guy in the stands. The dude that wears all the leather and is always at NBA games? I can't remember.
He just looked like the jeepers creepers creature.
Looks like the Jazz all the way so far. Though the Rockets have fought hard and already won in Utah and are not to be discounted.
I gotta study for a thing tomorrow but will check back in later.
GO UTAH!
Scola's choking? give me a break
So much for Tmac's 2nd round hope.
Dude's just got bad first round mojo for his teams.
Doesn't make sense, the way they compete in one game, and then they just lay down and the die the next.
