In another of our continuing series, five things to keep an eye out for tonight in the Suns-Spurs game tonight.1. Anybody Else Want To Try?: The Rockets have been looking for a hero in this entire series. So far, they've had Luis Scola as the rock, and Tracy McGrady as the nice, cheap paint. But other than Rafer Alston in Game 3, there hasn't been a support player to step up. Scola is supposed to be that guy, but he has to be a primary without Yao Ming. The Rockets need somebody, Rafer, Battier, Landry, heck, even Luther Head will work, to step up and give them the big playoff buckets. If it's just T-Mac versus Jazz, well, we know how that works out.
2. AK Can Maintain: Andre Kirilenko on defense has been stellar in this series, but he needs to step it up offensively. He's held McGrady from being absurd in this series, but he's only averaging 10 points a game. If he's able to step up and knock down his jumper, this thing ends tonight, and the Jazz can rest a bit.
3. Not Exactly A Barnburner: No one in this series has scored over 95. The Jazz had one of the best offenses in the league this year, but the Rockets have still held them to a reasonable scoring output, well below their season average. Granted, the Rockets can't score, either, because they have no guns. But the Jazz are facing a team with a better offense in the next round, the Lakers, if they advance. They need to break this open tonight and show they can still score.
4. Might Get Ugly: The Rockets are desperate. This is an elimination game on their own court. And they're undersized. The odds are pretty good that this is going to get mean, pretty quick. This has been a pretty physical series, but nothing really out of hand has happened yet. We'll see if the Rockets go quietly or resist arrest.
5. The Other Great Young Point Guard: Deron Williams leads all Jazz scorers with 21.8 points per game. He's been terrific, just as he's been all year. While Chris Paul is amazing, this is a great opportunity to see a point guard with playoff experience work his magic. The Rockets need Rafer Alston to play some serious defense and cut off Williams' passing lanes, because his 9 assists per game is nothing to sneeze at, either.
