This series has the makings of a classic as this features two sides who have been dominant at home this season with the Rockets facing the Jazz.

The Rockets get lost in the make up of the Western Confrence with alot of other sides taking far moe expousure away from them,but if anyone overlooks this side and what they have done this season for granted they might just get a real shake up as the Rockets have had a stellar year and would like nothing more than to cap it off with a title and while everyone is looking at the big teams to get the nod this season don't be surprised if the Rockets end up making a lasting impression this season,they have a great strating line up with Mc'Grady,Battier and Scola and a great looking bench with the likes of Jackson,Francis and Hayes comming in and out of their games,defensivly they have been very strong and offensivly they have been very good also for the entire season,they are to be watched this post season I reckon.

The Jazz have a great style and possibly one of the best rosters in the league for spreading their talent,they can play up beat or defensive style games and excell at both,they have some big game players like Boozer,Kirilenko and Okur and have a great bench with the likes of Price,Harpring and Korver comming in and out of their games and facing a Rockets team could be just what they are looking for as they have a trendous record against the Rockets winning 6 of their last 10 against them and winning their last two against them including a win here 97 -89.

Houston have won 14 of their last 15 home games and have won by an average of 10 points and they have beaten at home in that stretch some very strong sides in the Suns,Lakers,Hornets and Nuggets,while the Jazz have lost 5 of their last 10 away games and have lost their last two away games against Dallas and the Spurs.

I think this series could go all the way to the deathhere with both sides loving to play at home,but I fancy the Rockets to win it overall,they have played well all season long and will not be daunted by the task in front of them,they have risen to every challenge that has faced them this season and I think they will show up big time in Game 1 of this series...Good Luck.
