Rockets @ Jazz gamethread

[Game6Conley]

Houston's favored by 1½.

Will be interesting to see if Capela can string together 2 effective performances vs Rudy. The Jazz being undefeated with Hill and Hayward will be put to the test. Also keeping an eye on Eric Gordon vs Rodney Hood.

Utah only has 3 matchups with Houston this year and are already down one. A loss here could be worth 1½ losses if it goes to a tie-break at the end of the season. Big game.

Tough to come in on a late flight from Minnesota and play back to back.

Looking at the box score from the last game, it's actually quite a strange one. We shot better from three and overall, it was just turnovers and offensive rebounds that seem to have been the main issues. Hill should help in that respect somewhat.

Despite that I liked the push to stop posting good luck game thread girls I appreciate anyone who make a game thread and they get to decide what they put in it, so thanks for making one.

I am happy about last nights win. I thought that was a trap game we might overlook. The team really stepped up and played hard.

This game to me is the first must win of the season. We are not screwed at all if we lose but this could come back to bite us. We need to win the next two against the rockets to win the season series. We also need to make a statement about being the better team. I wish we were healthy for this but at least we are playing well right now.

Some fun random stats.

George Hill is leading the league in Offensive rating.
Rudy is leading the league in field goal percentage (just ahead of Capella) and is third in defensive rating.

I think Houston and Utah will be the 4 and 5 seeds in the West this year. Which team is better will depend upon whether the Jazz can slow down Harden or if he's just going to shatter us.

I think we need more good luck game guys if we're gunna be feminist about it. Sorry but I just can't get on board with the ascetics. Sexuality is a good thing imo. Shaming beauty is not.

Well there is Big Dwight Howard in the first pic.

True. At least Exum should be fresh and well rested (our best bet to slow down Harden). Any word on whether Favors will be available tonight? His presence could definitely sway the pendulum in our favor('s).

Is the term lady luck offensive to feminists? would they prefer it to be something more gender nonspecific?

I kinda thought that was the idea here. I've poster her (Devin Brugman) in 2 other gamethreads and the Jazz are undefeated. I'm just bringing out the big guns for a big game..

Only post ladyboys from now on maybe?

 

[The Midnight]

This is a GREAT early season test.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Im not expecting a lot. I just hope we dont let someone like Nene destroy us again.

Genius. Are you in marketing?

If they don't win the championship this season that should be the rule next year. Only ladyboys with androgynous features and garb allowed.. too much jawline, brow or boob is offensive. Then everyone can be equal parts of happy/uncomfortable..

I always set my expectations super low for the game on the back end of a back-to-back, especially against an uptempo team. Plus, I think the Rockets exposed the hell out of us during our last meeting.

We'll definitely need Hood and JJ to step out of their deep funks. And we need Lyles and Diaw to play above their averages.

Exum sighting??

 

[fishonjazz]

Bourbon and Mila. Gotta be good luck.

I want a clutchfans meltdown.

I dont think we should shame beauty. I have no probably with nudity and sexuality. I think our society is way over concerned with how people dress and what their kids see. Many kids see lots of nudity and it does not hurt them or anyone else. I dont like objectifying people and using them as objects which our society does with women but that is not the reason for not liking the game thread girls. I understand that people are not liking to open this thread at work or around kids and I think that is a reasonable complaint, the game thread should not be NSFW. Even if they dont have a problem with seeing scantily clad men or women does not mean their co-workers will not be bugged or think they are looking at something they should not be at work. I am fine with other threads having it but it should not be in the game thread. Plus when a picture is posted it becomes the threads picture in the app.

We are 3-1 on the back end of back to backs fyi. And we had a good rest before yesterdays game. Not sure how bad the travel is.
