    This is a tight nit group. Fully expect them to come at Mitchell hard today for his antics Sunday.

    Rockets 115
    Jazz 89

    They’re toast and they know it.

    I think Jeff bigglypigglywigglydik will make sure the defense is locked in to close it out at home.

    The Jazz are banged up at the moment and really have no reason to be in this game at all tonight. The Rockets really need to just put their foot down and steam roll them the same way they did the last two games in Salt Lake City. The defense needs to come out with same intensity and lock down the paint and passing lanes. If they do that they will win comfortably even if they do not shoot the ball well (which they did not in Games 3 and 4). That focus and mentality needs to be there from the get go.

    I think the Rockets will though, they've played the entire season to be at this point to make it to the WCF against Golden State with home court. One more win gets them there and breaks the first of hopefully many of the Team's "curses" this season of Chris Paul not making the conference finals.

    Got my gym out the way, just ready for 5 to head home and catch it! Please don't thread lightly. I know this team doesn't but we have to finish them today.

    There's nothing more gratifying than closing out the Utah Jazz in the playoffs at home. The more boring the better. Go Rockets!

    Should be a complete blowout today. Exum and Ricky not playing. Just stay home on Ingles, and play blanket defense on Mitch.

    I hope not. Lebron didn't do confetti last night. Doubt GSW will, either.

    Maybe we will sprinkle down some salt, though.

    I think we took their best shot on Sunday (I am not counting game 2 since we came out flat and it was hard to tell if it was them or us). I think they are ready for the off-season. Might be some dirty play though...gotta fight through that.
