[Deleted member 848]

Let's get to it. We are down 1-2 in the series-- and no wins thrill me more than wins against the Rockettes.

For Cy

I strangely could not find a preview for this. I'll log in again tomorrow to see if CBS, ESPN, Yahoo, or the NBA uploads one.

Anyways.


Let's ride the **** out, JFC. Clutchfanzz gon' get the absolute soft-serve express. Here we go.


Let's go over the starters

First up, Roquetz



AT PG......

Patrick Beverly

Nothing "Beverly" about this man's game. Patrick Mogadishu has a better ring to it.





AT SG......

Jimmer Harden

He's soft as baby-****, and always drops a ****-ton of points on us. Idgaf if he drops 40 more let's just make sure he's shooting a ****ty FG% and the rest of his team doesn't explode.



AT SF......

Trevor Ariza

Dude has been straight disappointment on my fantasy team two years running pls go **** yourself Trevor but also ask for a trade to the Jazz you'd be a dope fit here until then pls die slowly


AT PF......

Donatas Montiejunas

Two things no one expects:

- the Spanish Inquisition
- D-Mo playing any D

feast on him DFav TIA


AT C......

Dwight Stickum

Bless him-- and let our prayers strengthen him.





AT SG......

He is here to protect us. His children.

They took OKC to the wire tonight. They're playing well. It will be very impressive if we get one in Houston tomorrow.

Got to love that final 2 minute offense. Okur 3pt shot, offensive rebound repeat.

Those were some great bounces off the rim. Even in his misses, Okur was clutch as hell.

Well Chuck Hayes was the one guarding Okur, so he had to scramble to defend the shot, which left Yao Ming to rebound (and he was terrible at getting out of area rebounds).

We shot a whopping 11 3 pointers for the whole game? It truly was a different game back then. And, say what you wlll about Boozer, but he sure did have his moments for us.

Damn yo, who dat?

Rockets played hard last night and lost. Utah needs to come out aggressive and just hammer them right from the start. Never let up and swarm them on D.

From the Houston Chronicle:

The Rockets have won 2 of 3 games against the Jazz, losing in overtime in Salt Lake City... The Rockets have won their past six games against the Jazz in Houston ... The Rockets, who played in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, are 7-10 in the second half of back-to-backs ... James Harden is averaging 35 points on 47.5 percent shooting against the Jazz. Dwight Howard has averaged 14.5 points and 14.5 rebounds in two games against the Jazz.

From the SLTrib:

"He can make you foul him," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said.

Harden always has been known for his ability to get to the line, but he's getting more calls this year than ever before in his career. The Beard draws the second-most personal fouls of any player in the league, an average of 6.9 a game. Only Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins (8.9) hears more whistles, according to NBA.com

"A lot of times you'll foul him when you feel like he's got an advantage and he's got the play," Snyder said. "Sometimes it comes from frustration because he's so good. Sometimes he'll just draw them and put you in a position where you're off-balance and reaching. Those are the ones you can't have."

Harden is the league's second-leading scorer, at 28.6 points per game. His work from the line is a huge part of that. Harden attempts more than 10 free throws a game, knocking them down at an 87-percent clip. In three contests against the Jazz this season, Harden has attempted 29 freebies.

Porn is the plague of our time, it makes men weak while fooling them into believing it makes them strong.

I suggest adjusting your settings so images don't come up, urls are rarely offensive. You miss out on a few laughs, but you won't get in trouble at work or embarrassed at home or around strangers by images that you wouldn't otherwise be looking at.
