I’ve only been to 2 games this year. #1 was home against Dallas before he was in the rotation, game #2 was at Chicago and they got rallied I have yet to experience the rivet popping at the ESA

You’re right though, he makes the most of his 9 min/game. Imagine where we’d be if he’d been in the rotation from the beginning.

I am humbled and grateful I actually said something worthwhile, quotable”, in the world of round ball.

Thank You John

Scrum, you forgot how much energy Price also brings into the game with him each time he arrives! ESA pops rivets every time!

NOT because it wasn’t a foul (I think it WAS) but because it was fairly insignificant to the play and cost the Rockets a game-tying 3.

When the foul was called, AK was coming to close out T-Mac who had assumed a shooting stance behind the arc. It was very significant to the play at the time it was called. Expecting the ref to anticipate that T-Mac wouldn’t take the shot in that situation is a stretch.

Can you even imagine that Shart used to be the backup PG?? Yikes. I don’t feel bad about the AK foul, only because of what they did to Deron earlier. Deron could have been seriously hurt, and that would have been bad. Throughout the whole game I kept yelling at Tracy everytime he messed up and told him that wasn’t going to help him win the game. It made it rather enjoyable.

He’s so wonderfully predictable. Comes in, hits a three, first Q ends. Gets a layup or another three, then D comes back.

The thing with the foul is that maybe if AK doesn’t get fouled, he might be able to get in T-Mac’s passing lane.
Maybe.

About the players… how about Price? He’s been huge.

I made a command decision:

Let’s stop complaining about the officiating. We all know it’s the playoffs and it gets much more physical. The Jazz haven’t been getting much love (especially under the basket) but the foul on Scola shouldn’t have been called. NOT because it wasn’t a foul (I think it WAS) but because it was fairly insignificant to the play and cost the Rockets a game-tying 3. Maybe this all stems from pity for the Rockets, but we got some help and in the long-run it all evens out. We won, they lost, let’s make it about the players.

As you were…
