Jazz @ Houston Rockettes (6pm MT Time)

[Thee Jazz Fan]

It will undoubtedly be the most epic "Opposing fan reaction thread" ever.

Oh man!! We need a win. Imagine the greatness of that thread if we win without Hill and Faves. Epic!!

Hill might play.

I like the Jazz chances. Rockets are so predictable. Just guard that 3 point line like your life depends on it. If they get past you. Gobert will be waiting......

Clutch fans be like:
"The Jazz and their fans are secretly, quietly plotting to destroy us. They are drooling at the fantasy of claiming 3rd seed from us, and this game is key to working towards that, and possibly winning the season series. Despite some injuries and some fatigue, they've won 6 of 8. They believe we are over confident and overrated. Our own inverse homers will no doubt also be secretly cheering them on.

Now, get rid of your anger and your hatred for a couple of days, and send your purest and most positive energy to the Rockets players. If you are an old school Rocket fan, you relish the opportunity to defeat the Jazz. This one would be especially fun, knowing they are secretly giggling in some cave somewhere about how this "win" will be so sweet. I don't know what they do in salt lake city, but it's gotta be something to do with caves. I'm sure it's caves. Jazz fans in caves. It just makes sense.

Let's do it people. We want this win"

Dear God. Please let us win this one, so we can laugh at Clutch fans' meltdown together. Trade it for one of our easier games, like Detroit or some ****.

Dan Tony says they will start Eric Gordon if Anderson can't play, so we might have James Harden guarding our PF? Seems like a super weird choice. I'd start Boris Diaw in that case and let him go to work in the post until they switch Ariza on to him.

Or start Ingles at the 4.

I want this win so, so, so badly.

Right up there with games against the Spurs. Them + Warriors complete the unholy trifecta for me.

I'd much rather start Diaw and force them to double. Diaw has some of the best post moves in the league when guarded by smaller dudes. He would eat Harden alive, either forcing double teams, fouls, or buckets. The X factor is if George Hill plays. If he does, they can't reliably double off any of our shooters to help Harden in the post. Our offense should be unstoppable if we hit our open shots and just move the ball to find Diaw posted against Harden. If Dante plays then they could just double off Dante, probably with Gordon or Beverly playing free safety off him.

On the other end Diaw can guard Ariza. It might turn out ugly, but Ariza is having a subpar shooting year (in the midst of a huge shooting slump) and he isnt a big threat to put the ball on the floor and do much.

This
He is the key imo.

Also burks hasn't had a big game in a while. Rockets D might be just what he needs to get going.
