Rockets Series Predictions/Analysis?

Even if Ricky misses the series completely. Im sticking with the prediction. In fact its more likely to happen that way without him.

Jazz steal game 1. Rubio's injury turns into a blessing in disguise. Our wings stifle the perimeter. Rudy and Favors Stifle the paint.

Rockets kill us in game 2 becaue Rubio comes back and it throws us off.

Jazz win game 3 in a blowout with Rubio because Snyder adjusts and only plays him 26 minutes realizing our wings give us the best chance, and its the game 3 bump.

Rockets win game 4 in a close one. The refs gift it to the Rockets. Harden and Paul go to the line a ton because they realize they cant keep jacking threes.

Rockets win game 5 in a blowout. Jazz look horrible. Season looks lost.

Jazz win game 6 in a close one. Donavan has his best game ever. 45 points. Matching his jersey number. With the game winner.

Jazz win game 7. In a close one. All around performances from everyone.

And thus has the Oracle of Delphi spoken.
 
Jazz in 6. Lose game 1, eek out a narrow in in game 2, two close wins at home, then lose soundly in Houston in game 5, win on down-to-the-wire game at home like against OKC in game 6.

Im just trying to find a reason why the Rubio injury is ok for us. I dont like it, but playing taller players may just benefit us more. Its just a wild guess. It may turn out to be disastrous he is gone though.

I hear ya. I think to say that's reaching is an understatement, personally. We want our best players in the series. He's one of our best. Without him, the notion of having to play Exum, and to a lesser degree, Royce, major minutes, is disconcerting.
 
The Jazz have been exceeding expectations all year long. Its has been a crazy year. I dont know why anyone would want to choose not to believe now.
 
I think that the series goes 6 or 7 games. Either team could win it. Houston will probably be able to cause some mismatch problems with their small ball at times. But the Jazz will probably be able to cause mismatch problems with our size advantage at times too. The series is going to be a fight. I don't see either team easily winning this series. If the Jazz can control the tempo at a pace we want and play the defense we've played all year then we have a solid chance.

The Jae Crowder trade was so smart. A series like this where we face teams like GS or Houston who can kill you with small ball is exactly the situation where we needed a guy like Crowder off of our bench. Small ball lineups can't feast as much by pulling Rudy and Favs away from the basket to guard the perimeter. Because we can play Jae at 4 next to Rudy or Favs at 5.
 
Donovan continues to elevate his game as he continues his coming out party as a superstar, and Rudy continues to reck havoc and reap souls, and Ingles keeps ringing that bell.

Jazz in 5!!!! Idiots!!!
 
Houston fans, chris paul, harden, and Dantoni are annoying. Plus houston tag along players act like big shots.

Jazz will miss Rubio and Thabo. The game will get smaller with favors and gobert playing fewer minutes and making less of an impact.

My draft man crush on Capela will be reignited.

Houston in 4.

Dante sits, and forces his way out of Utah.
