Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady seemed just a bit miffed after the
Jazz's Game 6 win Thursday.
The source of his frustration?
Officiating, it sure seems.
That, and perhaps the defense of Jazz small forward Andrei Kirilenko.
"It's amazing how in the first half he (Kirilenko) was doing the
reaching, and I was getting the calls, and in the second half and in the fourth
quarter it was the same — no calls," McGrady said. "You saw the game. First
half, reach, foul. Fourth quarter, reach, no call, just let us play."
McGrady, for the record, attempted two free throws in the opening quarter
, none in the second, six in the third and two in the fourth.
FISHER ABSENT: Jazz starting shooting guard Derek Fisher missed
Thursday's morning shootaround with what a Jazz spokesman called "an excused
absence" for "personal reasons."
He played Thursday night, however, finishing with six points in 24
minutes but shooting just 3-of-11 from the field.
After the game, Fisher remained in a secured area of the Jazz lockerroom
— no media access — for an extended period of time. After eventually
emerging, he politely but uncharacteristically declined to speak with reporters.
Fisher was wearing dark sunglasses inside the lockerrroom, and several
teammates and other persons appeared to be consoling him.
A Jazz official declined to shed any further light on the matter
following Thursday's game, but said Fisher is expected to be available for
Saturday's Game 7.
Fisher, by the way, had a heavy therapeutic wrap around his strained
right shoulder when not playing Thursday. He played the entire third quarter
, but did not play at all in the fourth.
BIG BLOWOUT: Last time the Rockets played in a Game 7 was two years
ago, when they lost by a whopping 40 points to Dallas — the biggest Game 7
loss in NBA history.
Informed of that after Thursday's win, Jazz forward Matt Harpring first
asked where the Mavericks-Rockets game was played.
He was told it took place in Dallas.
"Well," Harpring said of the Rockets, "they're at home (for Game 7)
— I don't think they're going to lose by 40."
HE SAID IT: Jazz backup shooting guard Gordan Giricek, who experienced
a fill playoff series when he was with Orlando and the Magic lost to Detroit
, on playing a Game 7: "To be honest with you, we don't have to be scared.
It's not as if somebody is keeping the gun above your head, right?"
HE SAID IT II: Jazz starting shooting guard Deron Williams, who has
never played in a Game 7 — but he played in an NCAA title game: "I've
heard a lot of about Game 7s. I heard they're exciting. They're always
intense, they're always crazy."
START TIME: Because Golden State eliminated Dallas on Thursday night
, the Jazz's Game 7 on Saturday will start at 7:30 p.m.
GAME 6 REDUX: FSN Utah will re-broadcast Game 6 of the Jazz-Rockets
matchup tonight at 8:30.
