This is what scares me about this game.

[PHS Wildcats]

That's the sad part...

Everybody talks about how McGrady can't win a playoff series, but if you look at his numbers in the Playoffs, he's doing everything that he can. He can't do it by himself.

Halftime

Utah 47 Houston 41

McGrady 16/8/4/3/2

[kepdawg]

End of 3

Utah 69 Houston 67

Deron Williams just went to the locker room.

I don't think the Rockets are gonna make it out of the 1st round again.

Final

Utah 90 Houston 84

McGrady 16/8/4/3/2 1 point in the 4th in 2 games.

Houston missed too many free throws and some terrible calls by a certain Ref.

It did feel as if Houston was playing against 8 instead of 5, but the FT shooting has been horrendous...

[Bull's-eye]

Scola is always on the raw end of bad calls. Tony Brothers made a terrible call when AK47 flopped like he been shot in the chest. Brothers is best friends with former NBA official Tim Donaghy and was calling his first playoff game. Could be his last!

i think houston needs to focus on mcgradys 4th qrt play before u blame the refs

[eagles_victory]

Utah had 20 fouls and Houston had 19. Houston shot 26 free throws and Utah shot 21. Maybe if they hit more then 61 percent of the free throws they would of had a chance to win. Utah got to more lose balls in the 4th quarter had hit the big shots when needed to win the game. Blame the refs but your team just flat out didnt get it done.

[themsu97]

missing free throws is part of it... but bad calls do change the game... regardless...
the Rockets are playing with 2 important players and that is it...

And that was a crap call against Scola late in the game. Also should have been a flagrant against Okur on Scola earlier.

Bottom line is that if they would have made their free throws, Houston wins.

The Rockets had bad luck this year with injuries. Unfortunately there is no way they can win this series so basically they are out.

From what I saw in games 1 & 2 the rockets need to get the ball in Battier's hand a little more cause he can be dangerious and let Aaron Brooks play more . Brooks has the speed & quickness to break the defense down and score or get a lay up to post players
Jackson does not do this , he just jack up 3's . Some blocking out will go a long ways . Utah is very physical and there is no reason why Houston can't match that if your gonna foul then make it a FOUL . Rebounds & free throws is what its gonna take . JMO :thinking:
