Hmm... one would think that when someones tooth gets knocked out by opposing player that would warrant a foul call... regardless of whether or not it was inadvertant... it appears that the Jazz take cheap shots without even intending it... perhaps they are scum deep down within... GOOOOOO ROCKETS!

Go make comments on your own paper! Enjoy your sole victory of the series. Don't expect jazz to shoot as poorly from the field and the line as we did last night. We make even half our missed free thows and we're reading another article filled with lame t-mac excuses and listening to him cry. Jazz in 5.

IF ROCKETS MADE HALF OF THOSE MISSED FREE THROW IN GAME 1 AND 2. THEN THEY WOULD BE UP 3-0 NOW !!!

You Rocket fans are missing the whole point! Let's say in games 1 and 2 you shot your season average of 72.6%. In game one you shot 18/29 (62.1%) and in game 2 you shot 16/26 (61.5%). If we raise that to your season average of 72.6%, then in game 1 you get 3 more points (still a loss) and in game 2 you get another 3 points (still a loss). Take it one step further, utah shot below it's season average in games 1 and 2 and still won. Last night houston shot their season average (72.7%). So don't use your faulty logic here. IF BOTH TEAMS SHOOT THEIR SEASON AVERAGES FROM THE LINE, THEN ITS A 3-0 UTAH LEAD. JAZZ IN 5!
