the rocketts have complained about the jazz since they started meeting in the playoffs in the 90's,,,,, and always seem to be the one who complain the loudest and lose most frequently

This seems to be a reoccuring theme of Adelman's teams, past and present, whenever they play the Jazz in the playoffs. Rick reminds me of the Zen master. We better get used to it jazz fans, because next round the Lakers and their coach will be playing a full orchestra of whines and moans. They do it for one collective reason: to try to persuade the officials to call it closer than it needs to be called.

Wasn't it game 5 of the finals in 97 when Michael Jordan was so sick that he had to have help walking around and getting dressed but then he put up like 45 points and had one of the greatest individual performaces in the history of basketball? If TMac wants to be great then that is what it takes. Great players don't make excuses they just make plays and get wins. I hate Michael Jordan with a passion because he kept beating the Jazz and I love the Jazz but the things he accomplished were incredible. Situations like TMac is in now with his knee are the ones that seperate the great players form the above average players. I see TMac as an above average player and that is all.

Houston ain't seen nothing yet. If they want aggressive play, hard fouls, and cheap shots, they need to play me 1 on 1.

I agree TMac is no SuperStar just a good player. MJ did that in game 6. Unfortunately I was there to see it happen.

All you ever hear from McGrady is whining and excuses.
Houston has a bunch of over-achievers and one selfish me-star. Give me Scola, Battier and Alston any day.
The Rockets should ship him to the (Hooray for us! We made the playoffs!) Nuggets where he would fit in nicely.
T-Mac is just a loser.

If I see another flop from Luis Scola I'm going to barf. I cannot believe they would claim that Utah plays "dirty" when they flop 50 times worse than Malone or Stockton ever did.

MacGrady is an Awesome player, but he is mentally weak. He already started making excuses before he ever started the playoffs this year. I hate Kobe and I hate Michael because they have embarassed the Jazz. McGrady won't ever do that

I can't believe in this day and age there is an NBA playoff game that virtually no one outside of Utah can watch.

Nothing like a Jazz game no one outside of Utah can actually see!

Houston is playing a mind game to get the refs, the crowd, bought in emotionally to get whatever advantage they can. Hopefully the game will be fair. Let the abest team win.
Poor TMac | 6:15 p.m. April 29, 2008
Trucy or is that Trocey, oh yea... Tracey McGrady is a talented player and the Jazz should roll over, play dead and leave the guy alone so that he can beat the Jazz and show the world how good he is when he isn't challenged, especially in a tough physical pro game. Huh? Right? Sure?
Conspiracy theorist | 7:34 p.m. April 29, 2008
I think that the Jazz won't be allowed to win tonight because nobody will be allowed to touch McGrady for the reasons mentioned by Rick above. The Jazz are going to have to close the series out at home in game 6. Go Jazz!

Lets just give the Rockettes their balet shoes and play like the babies they are. Give me a tough physical player like Millsap, who can take any hit and get any rebound, over a wuss like T-Mac, who can't score while defended, any day.
4-1 Jazz!
4-1 Jazz!

Whoopeeee!! No Jazz game on TV tonight...way to go NBA---! Win it all Jazz so I can tell Stern, TNT and ESPN to kiss off!! They probably won't broadcast the championship games if Utah makes the finals. Sour grapes...heck yes!!!! My Jazz!! My Team!! Time to put an end to this foolishness from the Rockets!! NO mercy...Utah by 5 ain't good enough! Let's see a convincing 20 point win!!

Look for a very rough and tough game tonight for both teams. I look for the Jazz to take it. The Jazz are going to play even tougher b/c they have less wuses on their team. Rockets will choke, Grady will get 0 points in the 4th, while D-Will pops in 32 and 15 assists, look for a huge night for my man, he plays hard when it matters most. GO JAZZ
