He means so much to us. He gives us all an emotional boost. The Rockets snapped a three-game losing streak and kept alive slim hopes of making the playoffs. The Jazz lost to the Rockets for only the second time in the last 16 games between the teams. My conditioning was much better than I thought.
Conditioning is the key.
Physically, I am very strong. Utah's previous worst loss was 105-90 to Sacramento on March 11 and this one didn't set very well with Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. You'll have to ask them. I'm totally shocked we didn't show more effort. Our offense was nonexistent.
