The Rockets offense looks twice as good with Barry in the game as without it, even if he can't hit a single three-pointer.

He's the one guard on their roster other than Battier who actually can and wants to pass the ball.

Bynum is focusing way too much on his offense. He doesn't realize that the team doesn't NEED his offense, they need his defense.

Kobe wants to be the best? Remind me what the GoaT did with stomach flu and a 102 degree fever?

2nd half predictions.....

Rockets start missing some shots.
Kobe gets hot.
Lakers roll.
Houston didn't really shoot that great...42% and only 3-10 from distance. There defense is the reason why the score is what it is. I think if they keep doing what they are doing the game will stay close. The deciding factor will be can the execute down the stretch.

everyone keeps talking about how the Lakers need to wake up, but the Rockets aren't playing their game either. Both teams look sloppy and the only entertaining part of this game was when the benches were on the floor. Yao needs to get more involved.

I'm not really liking the officiating tonight. I don't really feel like either team is benefitting too much, but the calls are either missed or late. I absolutely HATE late whistles.

Great coaching by Phil taking out bynum to save 4 fouls for the 2nd half ....

Artest can play ...BUT his jumpers are Fool's gold you watch ...

ManuTim_best of Fwiendz

Artest scares me a bit. He seems to have the Mike Tyson "I'm about 2 seconds and a small brainfark away from literally ripping this announcers throat out and eating it and then attempting to fornicate with every woman in the crowd" syndrome.

I like him over other NBA players. Because he's REAL. Too real.

ElNono
05-04-2009, 10:56 PM
Interesting first half. I think the Lakers looked disjointed and didn't expect the physicality. They shot poorly too. Houston also didn't play very well, and outside Artest, they didn't shot the ball well either. I expect both teams to play better in the second half. If Houston wants to win, they are going to need more from Von Wafer, and more scoring from Scola.
Then again, seeing how Kobe struggled in the 1st half, maybe the best for Houston is to hope Kobe turns into a ball hog.
Lakers have to be careful with the foul situation. You don't want to have to play Powell much when Odom gives you good offense. And Bynum, well, he just needs to step up to the challenge.

It's different because there's no flow. Both teams are making mistakes and poor execution.
That's what happens when an offense meets a good defense.

Or, in Houston's case, a bunch of chucker guards.

yes, Lakers are in a comfortable position. Rockets better watch out.

Obviously the Rockets are in a better position right now. But after a shitty half from the Lakers, i'd rather them be down by 3, then say 10 or 15.

If the 2nd half continues on the same pace, I'll give credit to Houston and Adelman.
Watching the Cavs, Celtics and Rockets now after the Spurs had their exit, leaves a lot to be desired from the Spurs. I hope they're watching and are looking to get back in the fold in 2010.
