I agree, AK47 is the X factor for the Jazz. When that guy has his head in the game, the Jazz are very close to unbeatable. If Alston is out all series long, this may be 4 and 0. I feel bad for Tracy as well.
One thing about AK is that he is always playing 100% in a game but it is usually the unsung stuff. Defense, rebounds, blocks, picks, moving without the ball, etc... When he is putting up those numbers it is a different story this year because last year they asked him to score more. BTW, I think everything I said they needed to do has already happened and I will stick with the same game plan and lets hope the Jazz will do the same. But it is going to be difficult to pull 2 straight on the road against the Rockets even if Alston plays or not and I would not be surprised if we lost tonight. We got our one steal on the road and if the Jazz play the way they have at home all year it is over.
Rockets suck. McGrady sucks. The head coach sucks. Bobby Jackson sucks. Rafer Alston is a wuss for not playing hurt. The Rockets suck. Again. Rant over.
Clair, you been at the games? Saw two guys in LSU shirts behind the Utah bench last night and if that was you those were some damn good seats.
I did feel sorry for T-Mac last year and started to this year but at times this year I have seen him just give up. Talking heads have shown clips of him walking to defend his player shoot open 3's and what not. I like T-Mac as a player and always loved watching him play no matter what team he was on. Sounds like he is giving up before game 3 and I hate when players have this kind of attitude. THe fact is T-Mac is going to take the blame and that is because he is their superstar and I am sure he wouldn't want it any other way. So if you know you are going to get the blame just take it because now they will be no one showing you any mercy after these comments. That is just plain whining and whining does no good for you or anyone so go out there and win so you are satisfied on how other percieve you. Take it as a compliment that you are the one being blamed because that means everyone knows this team lies on your shoulders. I bet that was what you dreamed about as a kid so now that you got it take the negatives that comes with the deal like most superstars before you.
Another great game and it is going to be a great 4th quarter no matter how it turns out. We have fake teeth getting knocked out and a crazy old fan getting kicked out for a quarter by a former infiltrator(SP?) of the mob.:lol: I might check out that ref's book. Geaux Jazz
Please let T-mac win this game Please damn damn shame that Alson didn't play the first 2 games This series would be 3-0 Houston possibly.
