Game 5: Lakers vs Rockets

[IronMexican]

Alright, the real game day thread.

[Jacko]

Let's go Lakers!!!

Blow out these little water bugs.

[IronMexican]

I expect Kobe to come out the way he came out for game 4 vs Utah, on fire.

[Kai]

Cmon Brooks! Artest needs to wake up, because Battier isn't going to have another game like game 4. I'm expecting a close game where the Lakers will put us away in the 4th.

YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

[Jacko]

LOL is Rocket fan jealous that nobody will use their Game thread tomorrow?

[Indazone]

Believe! And no, Lakeshow fans need our input :lol

[Indazone]

Lakerfans don't get it. Play dirty and win you lose. Knock us out, it was expected and you're still the bad guys. Play hard and lose to the Rockets, you got upset by the upstart Rockets. Anyway you cut it you still lose. LOL

[IronMexican]

Que? lose lose? If the Lakers win, then they keep on playing. I don't see the lose-lose in this.

[Jacko]

Lakerfans don't get it. Play dirty and win you lose. Knock us out, it was expected and you're still the bad guys. Play hard and lose to the Rockets, you got upset by the upstart Rockets. Anyway you cut it you still lose. LOL

How about they just win tomorrow and Thursday and advance to the WCF.

[IronMexican]

How about they just win tomorrow and Thursday and advance to the WCF.

Nope, that's a loss for the Lakers. At least, according to Indazone. He's from China, though, so cut him some slack.

[Cry Havoc]

I'd be shocked if Houston wins Game 5.

If the Lakers fail to beat Houston in this series, it's going to seriously damage Kobe's credibility as one of the greatest SGs ever for the rest of his career.

[Jacko]

I think it will be more damaging to Phil Jackson's reputation than anyone else's.

Kobe's had a pretty good series thus far statistically and is a huge reason why they even won two games.

[IronMexican]

Glad to see I am winning the poll.

[blink]

I think it will be more damaging to Phil Jackson's reputation than anyone else's.

thats where the lakers have an advantage. i dont watch too many lakers games but i dont imagine kobe NOT showing up for 4 games. as long as everyone else doesnt suck big time, lakers always have the kobe card to play.

[lefty]

Laaaakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers


All the way, Kobe and Co can't lose game at home.

Plus, they didn't show up in game 4.

[Double-Up]

i'd be shocked if houston wins game 5.

If the lakers fail to beat houston in this series, it's going to seriously damage kobe's credibility as one of the greatest sgs ever for the rest of his career.

[IronMexican]

I don't see how Kobe can fall past #3 on all-time SG list, and I really don't even like Kobe.


1. MJ(Obviously)
2. West/Kobe


#2 is a toss up, but Kobe still has more years to add to his legacy.

[DrHouse]

I think the problem with evaluating Kobe is people are trying to cast him into Jordan's mold. I personally don't believe Kobe Bryant is a great team leader. He's not terrible as Spur fan would have you believe, but he's not a natural born leader. His natural personality is reserved and withdrawn. Kobe tries to lead, but you can tell it's not natural for him.

What he IS, is a cold blooded assassin. He is one of the best offensive weapons this league has ever seen. He IS the Mamba. IMHO for him to win championships the Lakers will need to bring in some guys that can provide leadership for the team.

Let Kobe focus on what he does best. Scoring.

[sonic21]

is odom playing?

[IronMexican]

Kobe went from an absolutely terrible leader, to a slightly below average one.

[IronMexican]

Two threads is stupid...wtf is going on here? :rolleyes

Use mine. I make every Lakers GD thread

[DrHouse]

I'm using this one, for strictly superstitious reasons.

[DPG21920]

Did you make a game day thread for game 4 IM?

[hhml]

Alright, let this be the official game 5 thread.

His majesty Kobe Khan, descendant of the Great Genghis Khan, has issued a decree. Rockets will be spared if they give up game 5 and 6. However if anyone resists, the entire Texas city, along with the team, will be massacred. Not just this year but for years to come. Resistance is futile fools. The mighty Laker Empire will continue Genghis Khan's legacy of world dominance. First Texas, then the US, then on to the world.

[DrHouse]

I just don't see this Laker team winning a championship with the bullshit effort and heart they have.

So I'm not really nervous at all to watch this game. This team needs a major overhaul regardless of what happens this season.

[The_Game]

house i thought L.A would destroy the cavs in the finals yet you now say they wont win the title?

[Xylus]

This team needs a major overhaul regardless of what happens this season.

Even if they win the championship?

[hhml]

Win or lose, they do need changes. This team is so uncoordinated and soft it makes them very frustrating to watch. All they have are talent which they depend on to win. They have no sense of the concept of defense and when it comes down to 4th quarter it's basically back to 1 man team - kobe, kobe, kobe. It's pretty easy to defend against them. This team needs more veterans, 3 pt shooters, and hard nosed physical players who will give you hustle and energy as well.

[Bukefal]

http://i40.tinypic.com/29gcx1.jpg

:lmao

Hopefully houston can do it

[DrHouse]

Even if they win the championship?

I would say so, at least as far as the bench goes.

Get rid of Sasha, Farmar, Walton, Powell.

Keep Brown and Ariza.

[turiaf for president]

go lakers! come out on fire tonite boys!

[DPG21920]

I personally know plenty of people that would love to take on Walton's contract at 5-6M for the next 4 years!!!! I will call them.

[iggypop123]

maybe larry brown. he can work magic with trash

[Indazone]

I'm using this one, for strictly superstitious reasons.

Then you and your Lakers friends can have a game discussion by yourselves lol.

[IronMexican]

Then you and your Lakers friends can have a game discussion by yourselves lol.

The poll says it all. This is the GD thread. I am beating you 11-0

[Jacko]

The Lakers need to step it up on D.

The big lineup SHOULD wear down on these Rockets over the course of this game.

[Jacko]

Derek Fisher needs to be benched.

He is costing this team right now and if we win it will be in spite of his horrible defense and offense.

[Jacko]

Ron Artest needs to come to LAL.

That mofo can shoot the lights out in Staples. He can't shoot for shit in Houston.

[iggypop123]

fisher is too much of a vet for phil to bench

[hhml]

This is the way Kobe should play every game. Attack, attack, attack. Even if he doesn't get a shot he can still create for his allies. Or just post up and shoot a closer shot rather than dribble, dribble, then pull up for a 20 footer.

[Jacko]

The Rockets have NO shot blockers. Attack the shit out of them.

[Jacko]

O-d-o-m!!!!!!!!!

[Jacko]

Scola you can't guard gasol baby!!!!!!!!

[Jacko]

Finally Artest ain't making those bullshit shots!

ARIZAAAAAAAAAAAAA BAAAABYYYYYYYYYYY

[lefty]

LOL at Ironmexican and Jacko trying to keep this thread alive

Pathetic :lmao

[Jacko]

Looks like ol' Philly boy did his HW.

The Rockets without Yao Ming have SERIOUS holes.

[Jacko]

Jordyyyyyyyyy baaabyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[hhml]

LOL at Ironmexican and Jacko trying to keep this thread alive

Pathetic :lmao

Viva el revolucion!

[Jacko]

Fuck the rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hhml]

Shades of Farmar from last season! end of the quarter buzzer beater whoooo!

[turiaf for president]

fuck yea! farmar!

[turiaf for president]

bynum needs more pt. he played well in the short time out there so far

[hhml]

Artest not hitting hit BS shots sure help a lot. We wouldn't be up this much had he hit a few of those 3s.

[hhml]

This thread is 3 pages long. The other one is 4 pages. We can catch them :lol

[Jacko]

Bynum is the key to the rest of this series.

We need him to dominate these scrubs.

GOOOO SASHHHAAAAA. Haha he OWNS VON WAFER.

[Jacko]

Cook cannot guard you gasol

[Jacko]

Pau gasol animal style tonight baby!!!!!!!!!

I freaking love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[turiaf for president]

finally taking advantage of their size

[hhml]

That's the way to attack. Keep posting Pau and we get good baskets while Rockets are settling for 3s which they aren't making.

[Jacko]

You don't BEAT small ball going small.

You GOT to go big and attack the living CRAP out of their weak frontline.

[Jacko]

As long as they keep Cook in the game keep feeding Gasol. They cannot stop our bigs when they are aggressive.

[hhml]

This should be a blowout if we continue posting up Pau.

[Jacko]

I swear to God it's like the lightbulb finally turned on.

They CANNOT stop our bigs. They never could. We just never attacked them with the right mentality and force.

[hhml]

We shouldn't have to adjust to them. Make them play our ball instead.

[Jacko]

Wafer getting owned by vujacic!!!!!!!!!!

[turiaf for president]

rockets are settling for jumpers and lakers pounding the middle. this is gonna get ugly

[hhml]

Whoooooooooooo!

[Jacko]

This is what I love about Phil.

He doesn't make adjustments. He makes YOU adjust to him.

That's right Zen Master. Let's GO BABY!!!!!!!!!!

[hhml]

THIS is how we need to play. Pound them on the inside and contest their jump shots.

[Jacko]

Lakers need to make a statement.

Shut up all these dumb fucking haters.

Go for a 50 pt win a la DEN-NOH.

[Jacko]

This is how we should play against every god damn team we face.

Attack them in the paint. Swarm them defensively. Get TO's. RUN. This is when the team is at its best.

Bynum has had a GREAT start, so happy for him. He's finally realizing this scrub lineup cannot stop him. Keep getting him more dunks and the beast will be unleashed. All he needs is confidence.

[hhml]

Lakers need to keep the energy up. As long as everyone is hyped and willing to play defense we should win easy.

[Jacko]

Keep shooting JUMPERS ROCKETES!!!!!!

[hhml]

Rockets throwing up bricks all over.

[Jacko]

They cannot stop Gasol. He should have a MONSTER game.

[Jacko]

Alright time to bring our bigs and Kobe back in.

Keep this lead up.

[hhml]

Freaking Sasha. Shouldn't have force that shot. Just pass the ball to Gasol.

[Jacko]

This fucking midget team cannot stop us.

[Jacko]

OK bring the starters back in please.

Kobe, Bynum.

[hhml]

That's where Odom should be. Don't hang around the perimeter shooting jump shots. Go inside and use your length adv.

[Banzai]

ehhh...

[Jacko]

Gotta attack Hayes face up.

[Jacko]

These refs are complete BS.

That was a free ball.

[hhml]

What a crock of bull. That shouldn't have been a foul on Kobe. If anything, there shouldn't be a call at all.

[Jacko]

They cannot stop Gasol when he's in attack mode.

[Jacko]

THAT's RIGHT SHANNON

FUCK EM UP!

FUCK EM UP!

[hhml]

Shannon!

[Jacko]

LET's go LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[turiaf for president]

its over

[hhml]

This is kinda fun, just us posting here. Don't have to listen to others posting BS :lol

It feels like we're the last 2 people left on earth.

[Jacko]

It ain't over until the final buzzer sounds.

This team needs to remember that. KILL THIS FUCKING TEAM TONIGHT. KILL THEM. NO MERCY.

SWEEP THE LEG!!!!!!!!!!!

SWEEP THE LEG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jacko]

This is kinda fun, just us posting here. Don't have to listen to others posting BS :lol

It feels like we're the last 2 person left on earth.

Let's do this for every game thread from now on.

Nothing worse than having to hear dumbass bitter Spur fans talk shit.

[hhml]

I have no doubt this game is over. After that despicable game 4 they should kill the Rockets in this one.

[Jacko]

THAT's RIGHT SHANE YOU UGLY MOFO

You can't guard Kobe unless the refs swallow their whistles.

You got one fucking ugly ass head. Grow some hair you dumbass.

[monoslyab1k]

too much size

[Jacko]

What's with the Dali Lama?

[hhml]

I don't want to see Kobe settle of JS this game (or the next game for that matter). Either attack or post up.

[Jacko]

Nobody on this team should shoot fucking jumpshots.

Attack their weak frontline relentlessly. We're getting the calls tonight. Take advantage.

[hhml]

I'm not satisfied if we don't blow them out by at least 30.

[Jacko]

I love shannon

[hhml]

It's funny how teams miss all the shots on the road which they would've made at home.

[Jacko]

The Rockets need to shoot an incredible percentage to beat us.

[hhml]

I love Brown's hustle. He didn't have a chance to get to Shane's 3 but he still made an effort to run at it.

[Jacko]

Koooobeeeeeeeee

[Jacko]

They can't stop you bynum!!!!!!!!!!

Attacckkkkkk

attackkkkkkk

[Jacko]

God damn this team needs to have a cattle prod shoved up their ass to play like this.

[Jacko]

I love Shannon Brown.

Keep attacking kid. That starting spot is all yours baby.

[hhml]

Lakers look good when they play their game.

[Jacko]

What little pussy ass bitches the Rockets are.

"OHHH HIS BRACE IS HURTING ME, MAKE IT STOP NBA!!!!!"

[01Snake]

Lakers look good when they play their game.

Or when the other team is playing like ass. :lol

[Jacko]

We are getting a shitload of steals tonight.

When this team plays with intensity and effort they are one of the best in the league. They have to learn how to sustain this focus for a full game and then for successive games.

[Jacko]

Or when the other team is playing like ass. :lol

Go back to the other thread.

This one is for Lakeshow fans only.

[hhml]

Or when the other team is playing like ass. :lol

That too :lol

[Jacko]

Kobe stop loosing the ball dumbass.

[hhml]

Stupid Kobe. Still a lot of time on the clock to get a shot off. No need to force.

[Jacko]

Man Kobe's D on Battier is just pathetic.

We're lucky he is missing those shots.

[Jacko]

Get Josh Powell the fuck out of the game. He is garbge.

God Kobe is amazing.

[hhml]

Watching Kobe play D pisses me off.

[Jacko]

Kobe going for the kill!

I love it.

[Jacko]

LOL Bynum.

Cracks me up.

That was a BS foul call.

[Jacko]

Bynum is clearly not 100% healthy.

[hhml]

Stupid ron lol. he's lucky they got the ball back.

[Jacko]

There you go.

Smack the shit out of Brooks whenever he comes into the lane.

[sook]

Man we suck ass tonight, hope we don't lose by more than 30, I'll be sure to check the score tmmrw morning

[hhml]

Or better yet, just close the lane down next time he drives.

[Jacko]

Bynum is trying to get those loose balls but he's just not 100% healthy.

[nhan]

Artest is just chucking up shots...it's quite disgusting. I don't know why Rick Adelman isn't reprimanding Artest.

[IronMexican]

My thread = win :hat

[Jacko]

If you smack the shit out of a player enough times eventually they will stop driving into the lane.

It's what we did to TP in 2004 to win that series. Malone delivered some hard ass fouls.

[hhml]

I rather Kobe pass to an open man on that last shot but I don't mind it as much since he attacked rather than settle.

[Ghazi]

Lakers are really hard to beat when they're clicking

Although the Mavs will do it next round

[Jacko]

Yea Battier is a great shooter too Kobe and he's getting WIDE OPEN shots moron.

[Jacko]

I'm liking this Lakers only Game Day thread.

Let the Rockettes and Spur fans have their hate fest in the other thread.

It feels good to converse with only the Laker brethren.

[sexinthatsx]

wow rockets are getting raped hahaha

[Jacko]

Let's see......

Fisher out the game. Lakers build a 25 pt lead.

PHIL YOU PAYING ATTENTION???

[IronMexican]

Fish needs the Bruce Bowen treatment starting next season. He simply can't do it anymore.

[hhml]

Come out and kill them in the first 5 mins of the 3rd and we can rest our starters.

[hhml]

Why do I keep hearing people refer to him as Ga-Sal? Is the proper way Ga-sow?

[IronMexican]

I pronounce it the way it's supposed to be pronounced: Gah-sole

[hhml]

Rockets can't buy a shot tonight :lol
Clanking open shots after open shots.

[Jacko]

That's what happens when there is pressure on you. You miss shots.

The score is going to get closer than this. LAL will need to keep pounding the ball inside and dominating their weak frontline.

[Jacko]

The entire TNT crew is full of Rocket Homers, they are so pissed the Lakers are winning.

[hhml]

That shot missed the rim.

[hhml]

I'm impressed with Boston. Short handed and still managed to come back and win.

[Jacko]

BOS earned that championship grit last season. They are super clutch now, especially since KG ain't playing :lmao.

The Magic don't have a closer which is why they tend to lose these close games. If it ain't a blowout by the 4th quarter you can pretty much guarantee a meltdown. They nearly lost Game 1 too.

[IronMexican]

I'm impressed with Boston. Short handed and still managed to come back and win.

It had more to do with Orlando being Orlando than anything Boston did.

[hhml]

Yeah, which is why I'll be surprised if Boston don't win this series. They play good team D and have several players that are clutch.

[IronMexican]

It looked like Sasha traveled on that dunk.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuck my work. I just missed a good first half. Good thing I have my DVR!

[GuerillaBlack]

Even though the Rockets are not going to win this game, I can't turn it off. This game and the one on Thursday will be our last games of the season. I have to soak it all in, good or bad. *cries*

[hhml]

lol Bynum misses a dunk and makes more difficult shot.

[IronMexican]

Bynum is playing pretty good. He just needs to rebound more.

[hhml]

Even though the Rockets are not going to win this game, I can't turn it off. This game and the one on Thursday will be our last games of the season. I have to soak it all in, good or bad. *cries*

Eh, don't feel too bad. You have a good team that plays with a lot of heart. You just need superstars who don't get injured every post season :hat

[IronMexican]

The Cobra!

[Jacko]

Fisher CANNOT guard Brooks.

We are winning in spite of him tonight.

Phil is loyal to death to his vets.

[hhml]

Nice job by Bynum. Playing really well today.

[Jacko]

THERE YOU GO BYNUM

THERE YOU GO BOY!!!!!!!

WE NEED THAT SHIT FROM YOU EVERY FUCKING GAME

These motherfucking midget Rockettes can't guard you!!!!!!!

[IronMexican]

Bynum showing the haters!

[GuerillaBlack]

THERE YOU GO BYNUM

THERE YOU GO BOY!!!!!!!

WE NEED THAT SHIT FROM YOU EVERY FUCKING GAME

These motherfucking midget Rockettes can't guard you!!!!!!!

Yeah, it only took Yao getting injured for Bynum to have a good game.

[hhml]

Phil needs to stop being so stubborn. We played well w/o Fish and we clearly don't need him this series. He's doing more harm than good but Phil continues to play Fish.

[Jacko]

LOL Lakers playing "volleyball"

Accurate description.

They are DOMINATING the paint tonight.

[Jacko]

Well you need Fish to get his shot on track.

We'll need him against Chauncey for sure.

[hhml]

Seeing Yao's face makes me feel bad for him.

[Jacko]

Dumbass Cook.

[Jacko]

Fisher has got to be benched next game. He is absolutely terrible on defens.e

[hhml]

Another foul on fish...

[Jacko]

I'm secretely hoping Fisher decides to layout Scola again.

We won't win Game 6 if he's playing Brooks for the majority of the minutes.

[Jacko]

Fish infuriates me even when we're up 27.

[Rogue]

Hornets losing record may very well be broken tonight.

[hhml]

Artest trying to do too much.

[IronMexican]

Watching Brian Cook out there makes me so happy. It reminds me of how the Lakers stole Ariza.

[Jacko]

LOL the Rockets ARE giving up right now.

What happened to Battier's "We play hard every night.."

[hhml]

Punish them, Odom. Punish :hat

[Jacko]

Brian Cook is so bad.

[Jacko]

Our F/T shooting is miserable.

[hhml]

Terrible foul, Trevor.

[Jacko]

Odom needs to rest.

Don't risk him hurting his back.

The Rockets have clearly given up.

[hhml]

I hope Lakers don't lay an egg next game. With them, you never know though.

[IronMexican]

This bitch does not know how to get interviewed.

[hhml]

lol Brian Cook missing 3 after 3

[Jacko]

She's too old and ugly for a closeup in HD. Shoulda interviewed Kevin Bacon the whole time.

Lakers need to kill this team by 50 tonight. No mercy.

SWEEP THE LEG!!!!!!!

[hhml]

Ouch.

[IronMexican]

Who was that rocketfan that said he'd be embarrassed if his team lost the way the Lakers lost on Sunday?

[Banzai]

40+ oh ya.

[hhml]

Whooooooo make it 50 now and avenge that humiliating loss in game 4 :hat

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Lmao

[Hemotivo]

it's all your fault ironmejican

[Jacko]

The Lakers need to push THIS lead out to 50+.

No mercy tonight. Send a fucking message to the Rockettes. Put them in their fucking place.

[monosylab1k]

5PDuqk_DSMw

[Jacko]

The Rockets need to be embarrassed tonight. They need to suffer the worst post season defeat in NBA history tonight.

No motherfucking mercy Phil. Play Kobe in the 4th. I don't give a shit. Fuck Adelman, fuck Battier, fuck Artest, fuck Brooks, fuck this entire Rocket organization and fanbase.

[turiaf for president]

put mbenga in!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Thank you IronMexican!

[turiaf for president]

The Rockets need to be embarrassed tonight. They need to suffer the worst post season defeat in NBA history tonight.

No motherfucking mercy Phil. Play Kobe in the 4th. I don't give a shit. Fuck Adelman, fuck Battier, fuck Artest, fuck Brooks, fuck this entire Rocket organization and fanbase.

ok relax. no need for the starters to risk injury

[hhml]

yeah, put Benga in. Let him start swatting some shots.

[Hemotivo]

No motherfucking mercy Phil. Play Kobe in the 4th. I don't give a shit. Fuck Adelman, fuck Battier, fuck Artest, fuck Brooks, fuck this entire Rocket organization and fanbase.

why?

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I wish the Lakers play like this EVERY GAME!!!

[hhml]

Damn it, the lead just dwindled by 2.

[hhml]

Freaking Pau. At least make an attempt to look like you care.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

We Want Tacos!!!!! We Want Tacos!!! We Want Tacos!!

[Jacko]

This 4th quarter lineup is pure garbage.

PHIL PUT SHANNON AND MBENGA IN YOU DUMB FUCK

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I really hate seeing FLuke Walton on the floor.

[Rogue]

Von Wafer is the only guy on rockets team that still wants to make a struggle in this game, the rest of the team have already turned their aim to game 6.

[hhml]

Not really surprised. Von shoots it every chance he gets lol.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

LOL @ staples doing the wave!

[hhml]

Pathetic defense.

[hhml]

Man, are our bigs that much of a pussy? No one is making an attempt to block inside the paint.

[IronMexican]

Harlan and Douggie have it wrong. The Lakers can't let the other team score 100.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

This bench might spoil everybody's tacos!

[hhml]

Why doesn't Phil let Benga play? I don't understand...

[Pandaemonaeon]

The Rockets need to be embarrassed tonight. They need to suffer the worst post season defeat in NBA history tonight.


Sorry, that happened already two days ago. And nothing that happens tonight is going to take it back. Hell, it just makes it WORSE. :lol

[GuerillaBlack]

Sorry, that happened already two days ago. And nothing that happens tonight is going to take it back. Hell, it just makes it WORSE. :lol

Not to mention that the Rockets are without their two best players and backup C. The Lakers would be shit without Kobe and Gasol.

[hhml]

Kobe explaining to sasha his plans for world conquest.

[Hemotivo]

Kobe explaining to sasha his plans for world conquest.

really?

[hhml]

Lakers need to make a run here to go up by 50 :hat

[hhml]

really?

Yep, look back to page 2 to my earlier post for more in-depth information.

[hhml]

Woo Hoo. Up to 39 now. Only 11 to go.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Damn! Who was that pawg?

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I'll settle for 40+

[hhml]

Nice block Benga.

[IronMexican]

Mbenga mbloocking and mballing.

[hhml]

Haha, the ball just wouldn't fall. It was fated for them to lose by 40 :hat

I've never seen Lamar look so normal on an interview. He's usually stuttering and saying "uhmmm"

Alright, let this be the official game 5 thread.

His majesty Kobe Khan, descendant of the Great Genghis Khan, has issued a decree. Rockets will be spared if they give up game 5 and 6. However if anyone resists, the entire Texas city, along with the team, will be massacred. Not just this year but for years to come. Resistance is futile fools. The mighty Laker Empire will continue Genghis Khan's legacy of world dominance. First Texas, then the US, then on to the world.

A blowout, but I'm proud of Houston showing that if you play solid D LA can be slowed down and beaten. Problem is with their squad there's no way for them to do it consistently, especially with a big hole in the middle for Gasol to go nuts in. Grrr, I hate the Gasol trade, it really fucked up the west.

[LnGrrrR]

These playoffs have been schizophrenic.

Clear pattern in this series: If the Lakers shoot almost 70% in the first quarter, it's an automatic W. For game 6, most likely we'll know by the first quarter if the Rockets have a chance.
