Keys for the Rockets to win: 1. Contain Boozer. Mutumbo needs to control Boozer. Boozer won't dare go into the paint for fear of the finger, but we have to find a way to control the 16-18 foot jumpers Boozer has. 2. Play the way we did in the season- We need Landry, Scola, Harris, Hayes, etc... to all play the way they did in the season. For a bunch of guys who have little to no experience, that will be tough, but we need to do it. 3. Out hustle the kings of hustle- We need to outwork and out "dirty" the Jazz, which again will be really tough to do, because they are the kings of tough and dirty. 4. Get something out of Aaron Brooks. I have no doubts B-Jackson will play great. But we need Aaron Brooks to light it up.
Brooks looks like a mini Chris Rock View attachment 10807 View attachment 10808 I still can't figure out how Scola keeps his hair behind his ears. View attachment 10804 View attachment 10805 View attachment 10806
Jazz need to frustrate McGrady with multiple guys because we are going to foul the crap out of him. Jazz need to take one in Houston early. Can't get behind too far too early. Be aggressive and take advantage of the half court game but they cant try to score of the 1st pass too often. I am sure I will think of a few more things as the series goes on.
Scola wears a black rubber band (exactly the same color as his hair around his head. If you look really, really close you can sometimes see it. I only know because one game he got hit on the head and it came out and he had to refix it.
I didn't realize Scola was a rookie until they quoted Van Gundy talking about how he should be Rookie of the Year...and he should definitely be over Durant. Durant didn't really do much to help his team win and jacked up a ton of awful shots while shooting just 28% from behind the arc. Yet he will still win it. As for game 1 could you ask your teams to score some more because this is boring as hell. Thanks in advance.
Is this series over before it even begun? What happened to Alston? When I saw he was out for the game, I knew Houston stood little chance at winning this game.
When AK scores 20 points it is hard for the Jazz to lose. That was the big away win the Jazz needed and I was pleased with the way the Jazz played. Good game, Clair. Geaux Hornets
