So first and foremost...very well played in Utah by the Rockets! That is a really nice win, with great intensity all the way through. Who would have thought that Rafer was actually a decent point guard. Certainly not me!
And it appears that Carl Landry is back to being Carl Landry. I really believe that is where most of the intensity of the Rockets comes from. He is just a fun player to watch because he plays with a ton of energy and plays so hard. But last night, though he came up with the biggest block this side of Tayshaun Prince, Carl was a big loser. He lost a tooth after getting jacked in the mouth by Carlos Boozer, and then, just totally unsuspectedly, gets a smooch from Rafer on national tv. I don't think he saw that coming. And Rafer, not someone you want to get romantically involved with, you know, with the whole anger issues. I mean, if he tries to stab strangers in the neck, what would he do to a jilted lover?
And as for T Mac. Nice game...Decent 4th quarter. 7 points isn't bad. 2-8 isn't good though. Not to mention, he could have come real close to icing the game if he hits a jumper on the Rockets last possession, and I am not even sure that it hit the back board...it was not pretty. And if Williams doesn't get blocked by Landry...then that missed shot looks very bad.
But, luckily, Williams did get blocked, and so T Mac can be a hero of sorts for at least 2 days. But the Rockets still have to win another game in Utah if they want to win this series. After the way they played last night though...I am not totally sure they can't do it! This thing should at least go 6...I don't know if I can take the Rockets to win 2 in a row in Utah, but I for sure like them back in Houston in game 5.

Who would have thought Rafer was a good point guard?? You mean besides ESPN and the entire sports world. Your right though, the Rockets do have heart (as shown by Landry) as most Houston teams possess; if they are going to win another in Utah, its gonna be another game won by the hungrier team. I would be surprised however if I see a game as good as the one Thursday night-thats one for the decades.
