The Rockets come roaring into the playoffs playing on a level with some of their best, if not their best basketball of the season. The two clydesdales are at a level together that we haven't seen all season, that's for sure. You keep hearing about "Haven't advanced past the 1st Round since '97", but more importantly, we haven't had a contender since 1997. Seems like yesterday. And the more things change, the more things stay the same way. It's the playoffs, and we are facing the Jazz and the dirtiest coach in the business, Jerry Sloan. 20+ years in the league, most respected, blah, blah, blah. John Stockton, Karl Malone and Jerry Sloan started the disease we call flopping amongst other things. They were practised at the art of deception. Pretty boy John Stockton was probably one of the dirtiest players of all-time. I'll put him in the Maurice Lucas class. Anyway, looking forward to this years playoffs I think they need to go out and find someone who can guard T-Mac because by the look of their roster, they have nobody who can handle that assignment. Okur, stay out at the three point line while Yao dominates the inside. Thanks.
