This sucks.  The Rockets just arent the same team to despise with out T-Mac, Yao and Alston.  I really need to see the Jazz hammer a team that I hate after watching that crap fest in Denver and beating the Clippers shouldn't even count as a win any more.  So while I fully expect the Rockets to come out and play hard and make the game close and interesting, I just cant bring myself to hating this version of the team.  I think their tallest guy is like 6 foot 6 and Trevor freaking Ariza is their best offensive option right now.  They have no cry babies, no thugs and no huge advantage down low with some freak of nature. How do you hate a team that is smaller, slower and weaker but still finds ways to be competitive?  It would be like rooting for a soup kitchen to burn down.  I am pissed that this team is likable, hopefully Scola or Battier take a cheap shot at D-Will so I can fully invest some negativity towards the Rockets again.  And for the record, I am scared to death that the Jazz will not take this team seriously tonight. 

My Prediction - Jazz win an ugly one, 89 - 85.
