Re: 1st Round Houston vs Utah

Well the Rockets do the impossible and beat the Jazz in Salt Lake City which will at least guarantee a game back in Houston. They took a seven point lead with 1 min to go and then almost blew it but a block Carl Landry with .2 seconds on Deron Williams saved it for them. With the Jazz being up 2 games, Carlos Boozer had already predicted earlier that the Jazz would not be going back to Houston...now where have we heard similar words like that before Bad Boys fans

Wow - what a play by Landry! That was right up there with Prince's "The Block" on Reggie Miller. It was amazing seeing the end of that game live.

Did you know that Houston was one of the four teams that win in SLC during the regular season, too?

HOU tried to give the game back, UTAH said no thanks.

I hate Memo's clutch 3's.

Re: 1st Round Houston vs Utah

I don't know if it's because the games are on so late or the teams themselves but man, I just can't stay awake for these ones! Houston is so boring...

Utah looks real good though. And you know they'd kill us in the Finals too.

HUGE win for the Rockets, however, it will be their only win. The Jazz in 5!!!!!

Re: 1st Round Houston vs Utah

It's pretty weird when a series goes 3 games without anyone winning at home. The most extreme case I can remember also involved the Rockets, during their title-winning year of '95: in the WCF against the Spurs, the road team won each of the first FIVE games of the series before Houston wrapped it up at home in Game 6.

Re: 1st Round Houston vs Utah

Maybe the key to the Jazz winning all of those home games is that guy behind the basket that got tossed in the second qtr by the ref and security. I don't know who he was heckling, but that is the first time in a while that I have seen that happen

It happened in 2005 with Houston and Dallas. Houston won game 1 and 2 in Dallas, then Dallas won game 3 and 4 in Houston. After that the home team won the rest, so Dallas won the series, winning game 7 by 40 points.
