Game 6 here and it's the last dance saloon for the Rockets,A win is a must to take this series back to Houston to force a Game 7 and this series deserves that result as it has been fantastic,Houston lost the first two at home to the Jazz but then got Alston back for Game 3 and won on the road but failed to take Game 4 and fell to 3-1,but Game 5 was a magnificent game in which the Rockets completly dominated the Jazz and if they can get that same game going here on the road the Rockets are capable of taking it home and wrapping up this series,personally this series has been so good I hope the Rockets keep on rolling just to make this series continuie,both sides have stepped up their games and this match today will be a great watcth with two sides who are very equal looking to play well.

Houston held the Jazz to 36% shooting from the Field in Game 5 and were dominant throughout,while that game was in Houston and the Jazz were away the form of the Rockets has been improving and their performance in the last game was great and if they can carry that on today they will win,Alston has made such a big difference to this Rockets side and his outside shooting has come to the fore and helped the Rockets gain leads in the most recent matches,Scola afetr a couple of average games has been great in the last 3 and wil be needed to step up again today and Landry are relative unknown has come up big in rebounds and put back shots off the bench,Mc'Grady and Battier have also stepped up and the Rockets look to be rolling here and not a minutie to late either.

The Jazz have a great roster but if one or two of them are shut down it cost's them,Williams is the key for them as is Boozer but take those two away from the play and they are limited by their options,Kirilenko,Okur,Brewwer and Harpring really need to step up here to shut this series down,but can they? I really don't know,the Rockets earlier in the season won 22 straight games and had quite a few strteches of matches as well where they were dominant and you can see that the Rockets have not lost any confidence during this series,the Jazz are great at home but have'nt kicked away from the Rockets in their last 2 games there and I don't expect this game to be a blow out either.

The Rockets are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 games and on the road are 5-2 in their last 7,they are also 3-0 against the spread in their most recent 3 matches in this series against the spread.

A win of any sort is great but the Rockets defensivly stopped the Jazz in their tracks the other day and will look to apply that same game here today,if they can do so they will win,the Rockets had all the answers 3 days ago and the confidence they would of gainned during that game could be the differece today in a critical game,the Jazz have the weapons but can they get past Houstons rock solid defence,they are at home and you would rate their chances to do so,but the Rockets are rolling for me and although I feel like taking the H2h as I do like the Rockets today and they did win this very game last season to take the Jazz home for a game 7 but we'll take the 7 points on offer and look for the Rockets to cover here and also drop a bit on the tasty odds on the Rockets to win this one and force a Game 7 back in Houston...Good Luck.
