1/8/2011 Jazz at Rockets, 1:30 UT (6:30 Utah), FSR/FSH

Wow!!! Great games by Millsap, AJ and DW (4th/OT). Nice defense from Raja and AK. I love beating the Rockets. I am sure some of their fans are crying about how the Jazz stole another one.

I gotta say, I was questioning what the heck was up with Paul tonight but he exploded in the 2nd half tonight and carried us to the victory.
 
This game once again proves that you cannot ever count the Jazz out. Gotta stick with them to the end. Never know what they will do.

I think this is a big big big win. To come back and show some life after playing like total crap for a week. Hopefully this is a spring to better
things. It would have been a really lame loss. All teams go through tough times. Hopefully, this win has minimized the damage and now we'll
see the team the jazz should be.

Plus, it's always fun to read ClutchFans after we beat the rockets. Tonight should be even more fun than usual.
 
Hopefully this win gives the guys the shot in the arm that they need. These past few games have been cringe-inducing.

We need to get a nice win streak going before the All-Star break.
 
With 5:30 left in the 4th quarter and the Jazz trailing by 9, Paul Millsap had 4 points and 5 rebounds on 2-9 shooting.
Here's how good Paul Millsap was in the final 5:29 of regulation plus OT:
-23 points, 5 rebounds on 9-11 shooting and 5-5 from the FT line.
-scored 23 of Utah's final 30 points
-scored 12 of Utah's 14 OT points on 6-6 shooting

Millsap's struggled the past couple weeks but his game was clicking on all cylinders to finish. Good to see him get his offense going and hopefully it will give him the confidence to become more aggressive as opposed to the more tentative-style we've seen from him recently. He's not a guy you depend on a consistent basis to carry the frontcourt scoring but in some stretches of games he can be that other finisher the Jazz need. Hopefully he can keep it going.
 
How old is Brad Miller? He looks positively haggard. I wouldn't be surprised to find him camping out in the secret hollow space inside the bushes near Payson Utah's Barnett Elementary School, where strange and terrifying men can often be found.
 
Damn, this one almost killed my dad and I. Sometimes I think the Jazz are trying to give me a heart attack.

D-Will played and acted like a ***** for 90% of the game. Good thing Al and Paul put the team on their backs when we needed it, because Williams looked like he was ready to start his Cancun vacation.
 
Well if the Jazz would have lost this game I would have officially ate my sports hemlock for the year.

Jefferson and Millsap were studs tonight. Al damn near single handily kept the Jazz in the game in the 3rd, and Sap's 4th quarter and OT period was just legendary. Ok, so beating a sub .500 Houston team may not be legendary, but I really really hate the Rockets so it qualifies in my book.
