JAZZ vs ROCKETS game 2

T-Mac sounded like has already bought his ticket to the Bahamas during his post game interview after Game 2 between the Rockets and Jazz.  McGrady said he was tired and a "Fresh" Kirelenko was too much for him to handle in the 4th quarter of Monday's game 2 loss.  
That is coming from the leader of the Houston Rockets, who even though had home court advantage have seemed like underdogs since game 1.  The Rockets are now down 2-0 to the Jazz and are headed to Utah where the Jazz had the league's best home record of 37 - 4 during the regular season.  Tracy McGrady is going to lose in the first round again, and has failed to get out of the 1st round in his 11 seasons in the NBA.  
Even though the Rockets had that great 22 game win streak, I dont believe anyone expected much from them once the playoffs began, except for some Rockets fans maybe.  But honestly when it comes down to the playoffs, you need to have that low post player who demands double teams.  And for Houston that player just came back from his hometown in China and has the Olympics in mind as his next opportunity to play.  It would have been really interesting to see how far the Rockets would have gotten this season if Yao was healthy.  I think they might of actually gotten out of the first round... maybe...
This series was over before it started.. the Rockets will be lucky if they arent swept in this series, or better yet dont lose by a combined 40 points their next two games in Utah.

ok so wow.. one thing i noticed is that you are predicting something that hasnt even started yet..ok i know based on previous knowledge yada yada.. but you know im pretty sure actually i know of one person who has read this blog and disagrees (not me) no worries i only gave people this thing so they can see what your view point is... they liked your other blog actually everyone in the computer lab was laughing... (they almost kicked us out) but anyway going back to you trying to be a psychic :-D buddy the stats can say everything but its the players that change them... who knows something good might come out of this like changing your future plans.. or it could just stay the same... all we can do is assume or watch the game :) but i like it... gives me a chance to oppose you :-D anyhow i better jet very well put blogs though... very well put...!!! almost actually impressive ;)

I actually think you could have saved some server space and just typed a few words. i.e.

"This series is over."

You see how that works. Short and simple. Work on it, Mugili. :)
