Lakers @ Rockets 11-4-09

[djohn2oo8]

Well, they meet again. Only this time, teams have changed, no Yao, McGrady for the Rockets. Artest to the Lakers, which should make for an interesting return to Houston. Yes, we appreciate that he HELPED get them out of the first round, but it was time to let him go for he did not fit with what the Rox are trying to do now that they have lost Yao, McGrady supposedly coming back later this month. Gasol out for the Lakers, and the Lakers coming off a tough road win in OKC, which we will see if they are tired. The achilles heal for the Lakers is speed, and athletic teams. If the Rockets play team ball, and play fast and uptempo, then they win. The achilles heal for the Rockets is obviously size. But don't underestimate Chuck Hayes, who is a really good defender in the post. Storyline of the game will be Ariza vs Artest, to see who came out better in the swap. I think the game hinges on that. Ariza will try to prove the Lakers wrong for letting him walk, and Artest will try to do the same.

[Allanon]

You send this from your mobile phone? Put some carriage returns in your post DJohn :lol

Predictions?

[DAF86]

Boos or cheers for Artest?

[21_Blessings]

Bynum gonna beat that Houston ass.

[Allanon]

Boos from all I've heard tonight from some of the fans.

[Allanon]

My predictions:

All Star Bynum is going to rip Hayes a new one.
Lockdown Ron is going to keep Ariza < 13 or a low percentage if he starts chucking

[HarlemHeat37]

I'll go with Lakers by 5 in a tight game..

[sook]

My predictions:

All Star Bynum is going to rip Hayes a new one.
Lockdown Ron is going to keep Ariza < 13 or a low percentage if he starts chucking

Believe me, as much as I love Ron, if there is anybody thats going to fuck you up, its going to be him. I doubt bynum is going to own hayes, he will have a decent game. Missing Gasol changes the entire equation he takes you guys from good, to the best in the league. Missing him has hurt you guys badly, but hopefully he will be ok for the remainder of the season.

Kobe has historically owned us, so its actually going to come down to him.
If we hit our 3s, we will have a shot.

[Danny.Zhu]

Let's see if Battier+Ariza>Battier+Artest on defending Kobe.

Lakers lost by 5.

[noob cake]

Scola or Landry needs to own whoever plays PF for Lakers.

Brooks needs to torch Fisher.

Kobe will drop 30 on us as usual, hopefully at less than 50% shooting.

Artest might overplay the game and chuck a lot of shots; we need him to do that to win. Artest can't guard the point or pf well, thats where most of our points will have to come from.

Hayes will have to own Bynum defensively. I doubt Bynum is physically stronger than Oden.

[Allanon]

Believe me, as much as I love Ron, if there is anybody thats going to fuck you up, its going to be him.

Maybe in another game but I think this one Ron's going to be on his very best behavior. Both Trevor and Ron are going to be dueling for "who got the better deal" honors. Should be awesome.



I doubt bynum is going to own hayes, he will have a decent game.

Bynum owes Hayes big time for what he did to him in the last Playoffs. Bynum being a Playoff non-factor was largely attributed to the Rocket series.

I forgot my boy Lamar, I don't think he likes Scola. This should also add to the fun.

What's your game predictions, Sook?

[DAF86]

Rockets fans should boo Artest all night long and Rockets players should trash talk him to death so that he takes it personal and fucks the Lakers up.

[Allanon]

Let's see if Battier+Ariza>Battier+Artest on defending Kobe.

Lakers lost by 5.

This actually brings up another point.

Who will guard Kobe?

Who will guard Artest?

Battier guards Kobe well but Ariza gives up like 40 pounds to Artest. Ariza doesn't do well against bulky dudes.

[sook]

What's your game predictions, Sook?

Normally I have some kind of prediction but win/loss range is around 20-30 points. We are like a bunch of 50 year old cogs found in the sewer, running a factory. We have managed to squeeze production somehow but it just won't happen every night. And when it doesn't, due to our HUGE lack of size, we will get raped.

[sook]

I meant to say we could win by 20 or lose by 30 from my standpoint

[iggypop123]

lakers are going to be tired. and brooks plays 45 min

[robbie380]

rox win via skull fuck

[robbie380]

This actually brings up another point.

Who will guard Kobe?

Who will guard Artest?

Battier guards Kobe well but Ariza gives up like 40 pounds to Artest. Ariza doesn't do well against bulky dudes.


leave batman on kobe.

artest will probably try to do some 1 on 1 bullshit v. ariza to show he is better than him and manage to play completely out of control. who knows...ron may have one of those game where he is able to hit 6 of 8 from off balance fade away 3pt land. anyhow, i would be extremely surprised if artest actually tried to use his advantage in the post so i am not really worried about artest on offense.

Do you even watch the games? Artest is going to the post more and more every game and being encouraged to do so. Do you honestly... and I am being serious here... do you honestly think Phil & Kobe are going to let Ron play out of control and chuck off ballance fade away 3's? That's Kobe's role.

Really? When he does that... you will see him promptly assigned a seat next to Sasha.

ron is ron.

[flamingdts]

If the Lakers can contain Scola and Brooks, then they will probably win. Brooks was Lakers' biggest problem after Yao went down last season, and so far this season he is averaging 20 ppg and 8+ assist.

Should be an interesting game. I'm more excited to see Ariza vs Artest than anything else.

[Lars]

Too hard to make a prediction, could go either way.

[Indazone]

If the Rockets win it's cause Adleman unleashed his X-Factor. Chase Budinger

Rockets need Brooks to penetrate and completely own Fisher which he will. Budinger needs to turn into the second coming of Reggie Miller and rain 3's on the Laker's head all night long.

[ElNono]

I see a lot of Shannon Brown playing tonight...

[DaDakota]

Can the Lakers keep up? The Rockets are going to run, and take the first available shot.

If they go in, the Rockets win, if not, the Lakers have the advantage.

And the Lakers can not match up with Aaron Brooks......and their bench is absolutely putrid.

Gonna be a close one I think.

DD

[djohn2oo8]

Trading McGrady is the best option....Especially if he comes back and plays at a high level, and the perfect fit in the offense would be Kevin Martin, since the Kings have talked about trading him in the past to cut costs

[The Franchise]

We keep playing how we have been we will win easily.

[Indazone]

Budinger listed as day to day with a sprained ankle from Jazz game.

[Höfner]

Ariza burns the Lakers for 44/25/7

[Indazone]

Ariza burns the Lakers for 44/25/7

Now that would be funny

[The Franchise]

Budinger listed as day to day with a sprained ankle from Jazz game.

He'll play.

[Double-Up]

Who is Budinger?

He's an up and coming 2nd rd pick in the last draft, not sure why he fell so far.

[TwinTowers]

It will be a close game for the first 3 quarters, but LA will end up winning by 10+. Ariza vs Ron is definitely the story-line for this game

[Indazone]

He's an up and coming 2nd rd pick in the last draft, not sure why he fell so far.

Budinger to the Rockets is like Dejuan Blair is to the Spurs.

Budinger is a sharpshooter with unbelievable athletic ability and gets his shot off really fast. Could be a young Brent Barry or perhaps a Reggie Miller type player.

[IronMexican]

I am worried that Ron and Ariza will take upon each other to try and take the game over for their sides. Rocket fans can say "Ariza isn't like that", but you'd have to be fooling yourself if you don't think that Ariza has some animosity toward the Lakers' front office. And Ron Artest is Ron Artest. He definitely doesn't like Ariza putting up great numbers. Hopefully he takes it upon himself to try and stop Ariza by playing D and not trying to light it up.

[Double-Up]

The red-headed whiteboy that were gonna treat like a step-child tonight?

He's pretty cold for a whiteboy and with the way the Lakers struggled against the Thunder I would shut the fuck up if I were you.

[noob cake]

Fisher better buy some ankle insurance.

I know Steve Blake and Derick Fisher are Aaron Brooks' bitches.

[Indazone]

Nobody can stop Brooks..dude is just too fast.

[djohn2oo8]

I'm the Champ, why would I worry about a team that wont make the playoffs.

King Faggot, yes that title fits you well:king

[hater]

lakerfans will always be in denial, but Ariza was a Robert Horry for them last playoffs. It will be fun to watch him guard Kobe tonight

[rjv]

either way one team will lose and help out the spurs but i'll cheer on the rockets in this case.

[hater]

lakerfans will always be in denial, but Ariza was a Robert Horry for them last playoffs. It will be fun to watch him guard Kobe tonight

exhibit A:


Ariza fucked himself. Larry Brown was right about him not being too bright. How do you risk leaving LA, your home, to go to Houston? Only a fool will do that. Now he's playing for a suck ass team that will never see the playoffs again.

I'm sure that, right about now, Ariza is pretty happy with the decision he took in the offseason. He already has his championship, he now can enjoy beign a go to guy in a pretty decent team.

[HarlemHeat37]

pretty much..

Ariza is still young, it's not like he's an old vet that is trying to go out with a title..he already got his ring, and now he gets to show off his individual skills and gets paid a good salary..

I'm still very happy to see him playing for another team..

[Kai]

Budinger is out for tonight... sucks

[TheManFromAcme]

Nobody can stop Brooks..dude is just too fast.

No joke. I love the kid.
I am going out on a limb here and am calling it a close one. Lakers may be caught off guard tonight. Brooks may be the difference.
The Atrest/Ariza soap opera doesn't intrigue me whatsoever. They are both good and doubt they are out to "prove" something. If anything Trevor may get a little home sick once he sees the Purple and Gold and holds his hardware (the bling aka his ring).

Should be a good game.

[TheMACHINE]

I'm sure that, right about now, Ariza is pretty happy with the decision he took in the offseason. He already has his championship, he now can enjoy beign a go to guy in a pretty decent team.

yah im sure he is happy being the go-to guy getting paid 6 mill.

[DAF86]

yah im sure he is happy being the go-to guy getting paid 6 mill.

A lot better than getting 6 mill (or less) to be a bench or role player, besides his play with the Rockets will surely get him a lot more money in the future than staying with the Lakers.

[21_Blessings]

Rockettes about to get dumped on.

[djohn2oo8]

Rockettes about to get dumped on.

Lol, saying that about a team that took you to 7 games reflects the ignorance of most Laker fans

[Indazone]

Rockettes about to get dumped on.

Bring it! We got this:ihit

[21_Blessings]

Lol, saying that about a team that took you to 7 games reflects the ignorance of most Laker fans

Blown out in game 7. The Lakers never even took the Rockets seriously yet still won handily.

[Danny.Zhu]

Battier for 3!
Rockets 16:10 Lakers
Lakers time out.

[Lars]

Good start.

Battier containing Kobe with single coverage. No easy baskets, free throws or assists for the Lakers.

[djohn2oo8]

Bynum play like Raggedy Anne. You can blow at his ass and he'll fall off balance.

:lol

[Allanon]

I'm surprised the Lakers are only down 5. They should be down like 15 with the way they're playing.

[Danny.Zhu]

Hayes, Battier, Scola, all intelligent players.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I hate the rockets so much, that i love them!

You could send out 5 highschool players, put a rockets uniform on them, and suddenly they would just start fighting for every possession, playing good team ball, play out of their minds and take it to the best teams in the NBA

I wish the Nuggets had that fight in them all the time

[Lars]

Battier sits, defense goes to shit =(

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Me too, cause Melo is fucking me good tonight with his .083 shooting through three quarters. Fuckers needs to stop getting high before games.

It's not even technically shooting :lol He has missed so many layups. In his defense, he is getting hacked and the refs are letting the Nets get away with it, but still he should be at least hitting something!

[Allanon]

Those chicks were pretty hot.

[Danny.Zhu]

No 3 second violation...unbelievable...

[Lars]

Bah, need some height.

[Lars]

Lowry is like a little bulldog, he doesnt even look at the basket only the defender.

[Danny.Zhu]

Speed vs Height

[Danny.Zhu]

Kobe rules...

[iggypop123]

other than the 4 phantom fouls so far so goood

[Lars]

Uh oh, Bynum is gonna cry.

[iggypop123]

oops i spoke too soon pathetic call. there needs to be a rule where you can eject a person for that

[Danny.Zhu]

So many uncalled 3 second violation for Bynum. Let's call it even.

[The Franchise]

We are missing way to many easy shots.

[xellos88330]

Lakers seem to having trouble keeping the Rockets front line off of the glass. How is this possible?

[cobbler]

Lol, saying that about a team that took you to 7 games reflects the ignorance of most Laker fans

Something like taking a comment from one person and attibuting it to a whole fan base? I can't speak for the Rockets fanbase as a whole... but you as an individual are about as ignorant as they come.

[djohn2oo8]

If you look at what I said, I said "most", not All

[j-money24]

Ariza's trying to hard to have a good game.
2/10 shooting.. Awsome

[iggypop123]

tech. did he get hit in the face or something? maybe he thought battier flopped

[Danny.Zhu]

Well, that's a wrong call on Kobe.

[iggypop123]

hey finally a flop in our favor

[The Franchise]

I guess Fish is tired of you guys saying he cant guard Brooks. He's in Brooks ass.

What game you watching? :lol Brooks is getting by him on almost every trip down the floor.

[Danny.Zhu]

Ariza almost played the entire game so far...

[iggypop123]

i cant help but feel kobe will tire down the stretch. 48 min yesterday. if somebody can handle the conditioning its him but i dont know

[The Franchise]

Ariza almost played the entire game so far...

I would rather see JT get a chance to play than ride Ariza so hard.

[djohn2oo8]

Damn, wish they had Budinger, but hopefully rox can get goin here

[Lars]

Yea we effectively only have 2 wing players tonight in Battier/Ariza. McGrady and Budinger injured, its not surprising Ariza is playing workhorse tonight.

[The Third Man]

Rockets scrubs > Lakers scrubs

[iggypop123]

i suspected this but the tired legs are showing they are running them out

[The Third Man]

Suck on that, Ron Ron.

[Lars]

Great game so far.

[j-money24]

Rockets scrubs > Lakers scrubs

Rockets have no scrubs, they just have alot of hard working role players. Lakers on the other hand have like 7-8 scrubs.

[Danny.Zhu]

Why not play David Anderson?

[Danny.Zhu]

Rockets have no scrubs, they just have alot of hard working role players. Lakers on the other hand have like 7-8 scrubs.

Yep.

[iggypop123]

the flops are starting to get to andrew bynum.

[The Franchise]

Scola under some skin.

[Lars]

Thank god for Derrick Fisher.

[Danny.Zhu]

Bynum is so stupid compared to Scola.

[The Franchise]

Why not play David Anderson?

Because Brooks can do a better job on Bynum.

[Indazone]

Pretty chippy game. Both going hard at each other. We need better shooting from Ariza. So far he has sucked.

[PGDynasty24]

wow scola is such a bad flopper. kobe keeping them in it

[j-money24]

Pretty chippy game. Both going hard at each other. We need better shooting from Ariza. So far he has sucked.

Get use to that.

[Indazone]

Landry would be more productive than Ariza at this point.

[The Franchise]

Ab!!

[Indazone]

Broookssss for three!!!

[iggypop123]

well a ft. this is a long time coming for kobe

[Indazone]

uh oh

[xellos88330]

Brooks dribbles too much.

[Lars]

Man we havent scored in forever. This is is when we need a Tmac/Yao.

[Indazone]

Freaking Artest! ughh

[The Franchise]

Are we going to choke this shit away?

[iggypop123]

omg i dont know what to say

[Indazone]

Brooks dribbles too much.

Reminds ya of Stevie Franchise doesn't it?

[hhml]

Wow, this is one exciting game. It could easily go either way.

[xellos88330]

Are we going to choke this shit away?

Brooks is dribbling the game away.

[Spursmania]

:lol Frigging Artest just threw the dagger. Damn!

[Lars]

Man I wish we could be gifted two all stars =/

[Indazone]

Battier should take the shot.

[Spursmania]

Ariza hits the 3! OMG!

[Indazone]

HAHAHAHA ARIZA!!!

You couldn't have scripted this any better.

[The Franchise]

Trev!!!!!!!!

[Danny.Zhu]

Let go all the 3 pointers.

[Lars]

Ha, storyline finish.

[xellos88330]

How ironic. Former teammates killing their former teams. LOL!!!

[Spursmania]

Let's see if Kobe takes this.

[hhml]

Typical Lakers, always giving up the 3 at the end.

[Indazone]

Incredible game. This is going to overtime

[Indazone]

Yes but this time Kobe is the one who takes it.

[xellos88330]

Ot

[Danny.Zhu]

Kobe is going to do what he does best... RAPE!!!

:lol

[iggypop123]

haha stu lantz is nostradamus

[xellos88330]

Fuck I wish i could watch this game lol!

[Indazone]

0.7 seconds left. OT

[Spursmania]

Probably Overtime.
But, hey .07 anything can happen. We, of all teams know that.

[hhml]

Stu should be coaching. He's very knowledgeable.

[KidCongo]

I flicked this game on just as Brooks made his 3 to put em up 89-85. It's been great just seeing these last few minutes.

Lets go Rockets!

[lil_penny]

Damnit I wanted to watch this game!!!

[The Franchise]

I'm loving this.

[iggypop123]

kobe is in amazing shape but i think this is too much. 48 min 2 days in a row? i dont know

[hhml]

Lol, that was nice shot by Artest. Too bad time ran out.

[Indazone]

Awesome!!

[Riverwalkman]

an amazing game... if the Lakers‘ defense could be a little better, there would not be OT.

[Spursmania]

kobe is in amazing shape but i think this is too much. 48 min 2 days in a row? i dont know

Iggy, I wish we were playing you guys tomorrow:lol

[Indazone]

LOL @ Barkley who thought the Rockets would have the worst record in the West.

[Spursmania]

In the meantime, in case anybody gives a shit.
Dal down 6 to the Hornets. 52- 58.

[hhml]

Rockets flying everywhere.

[iggypop123]

wow scola got away with that

[in2deep]

LMAO Kobe playing 40+ minutes for 2nd nite in a row vs. scrub teams :lol

[Riverwalkman]

I have some question on the clock, the time left should be more than .7 when rox calling timeout.

[The Franchise]

Stupid foul by Brooks.

[Indazone]

Kobe just missed FT that was huge.

[Lars]

It wasnt a time out, it was out of bounds off Houston

[hhml]

Lakers big men are such pussies.

[in2deep]

Lakers big men are such pussies.

yup. getting manhandled by midgets.

this game seems like a playoff game :tu

[Spursmania]

Lakers miss Pau. His rebounding and inside presence.

[The Franchise]

That was a bullshit foul call on Scola.

[Indazone]

Wonder what the Rockets will look like when T-Mac comes back at the end of Nov.

[Lars]

I can't fathom why Carl Landry isnt on the court.

[Danny.Zhu]

Wonder what the Rockets will look like when T-Mac comes back at the end of Nov.

Ruin the chemistry completely.

[Danny.Zhu]

I can't fathom why Carl Landry isnt on the court.

Same with me.

[Spursmania]

Crappy call. Wow.

[hhml]

Scola's out. Oh joyous days.

[iggypop123]

sneaky try by scola but you got caught!

[Lars]

Landry is 8-11 and sat the whole 4th quarter, thats just bad coaching.

[iggypop123]

oh nice the vid replay. still the evidence sucks its too tough

[hhml]

Bynum, man up and grab a rebound you sissy.

[hhml]

Why not have a jump ball

[Danny.Zhu]

Just noticed Rockets got more OReb than Lakers...Amazing...

[in2deep]

:lmao
:lmao
:lmao
:lmao
:lmao
:lmao



Bynum is a fuckin scrub.

[hhml]

Bynum missed the shot so he can draw the foul on them. *Thumbs up*

[Lars]

good fucking game

[hhml]

Hayes 37% FT shooter. How's that possible...

[Lars]

Brian Cook - game over

[Capt Bringdown]

Ariza 5 for 21, ouch.

[iggypop123]

vitti is a busy guy early in the season. not good news

[Spursmania]

Bynum has spent too much time at Heffner's Playboy Mansion this summer.

[hhml]

Sandra Bullock is pretty.

[DPG21920]

How can you dog Bynum with 17 & 17 & 5 AST & 3 BLKS?

[DPG21920]

Why is Bynum holding his arm like a lil bitch, got-damn!

Chuck gave him a hard foul two plays ago.

[in2deep]

How can you dog Bynum with 17 & 17 & 3 BLKS?

have u seen the size of the ROcket "big" men???

[xellos88330]

That was a shooting foul.

[LnGrrrR]

Can the Lakers pull off back to back OT wins? Good thing their next game is against the Grizzlies.

[angrydude]

brian cook checks in...........

[LnGrrrR]

Sandra Bullock is pretty.

+1

I'd hit it.

[hhml]

Wow what a defensively play to end an exciting playoff game.

[Spursmania]

OMG. Artest ate Ariza's lunch.

[iggypop123]

so much for kobe sitting out 4th quarters early in the season

[The Franchise]

Brooks lost this fucking game.

[hhml]

Fans sure got their money's worth.

[Lars]

Nah thats cool, I didnt need a replay of that last play.

[Spursmania]

Why is Bynum holding his arm like a lil bitch, got-damn!

Something about his elbow? What happened?

[xellos88330]

Brooks lost this fucking game.

He dribbles too much.

I do however think he should have been given free throws. It looked like he was in his shot when they called the foul.

[LnGrrrR]

Dang... Yankees most likely will win the World Series, and Lakers pull off another OT win. If the C's hadn't won tonight, it'd be a cruddy sports night for Bostonians.

[angrydude]

well that was a disappointing finish

[mogrovejo]

Can the Lakers pull off back to back OT wins? Good thing their next game is against the Grizzlies.

If Gasol isn't playing, they better hope Kobe goes for 50.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Latest reason why league pass is fuckin awesome. Great game.

[hhml]

Can't wait til Pau gets back. This team is so average w/o him.

[21_Blessings]

Gutsy performance by the Rockets but it's pretty clear the Lakers have the superior player for right now and the next couple years.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Backtobacks with both games in overtime?

Why is it that the spurs seem to be the only good team in the history of the league that is affected by back to backs? Fucking hell. The only silver lining can be is hope that Kobe gets worn out come playoff time at this pace.

[The Franchise]

Lakers are like Eagles, shitting on the Buzzards in Houston...:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

Then why were you a fucking mute the entire OT? :lol

[cyrusvhadsupper]

Brooks used to kill Fisher...

What The FUCK happened he was manhandled in the 4th quater and OT....

:pctoss

[DPG21920]

Bynum hurt his elbow going for a shot when Hayes came from behind and fouled him hard. Looked like he hyper-extended it or something. Not sure...

[The Franchise]

Fish shut his ass down.

You sound stupid.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Props to Bynum for hitting 3 of those 4 free throws in OT. Pretty hard to jock on how he's played so far this year.

[Allanon]

Good damn game. I missed most of it but caught OT.

Rockets have gotta be the hardest working team in the NBA...damn they're scrappy.

[benefactor]

Latest reason why league pass is fuckin awesome. Great game.
:tu

It's been a great start to the year.

[21_Blessings]

Brooks had his way with the Fisher. He created like 4 layups for Hayes and made another one himself during crunch time. He just fucked up and picked up his dribble there at the end.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Both teams played hard.

[iggypop123]

he was laughing when he showed it to vitti. it cant be serious

[hhml]

Why did Rockets make Trevor the go to guy anyway?

[KidCongo]

Brooks had his way with the Fisher. He created like 4 layups for Hayes and made another one himself during crunch time. He just fucked up and picked up his dribble there at the end.

He's just a tad to small to see through some of those traps. It'll come with experience.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Wow, What a game! back 2 back ot games on the road and still manage to get the W,:toast

Thanks to league pass mobile I didn't miss this game.

[LnGrrrR]

Props to Bynum for hitting 3 of those 4 free throws in OT. Pretty hard to jock on how he's played so far this year.

As much as I'd like to clown Bynum, he's definitely been monstrous so far this year.

[The Franchise]

We really missed Budinger's shooting tonight, and it didn't allow Shane and Ariza their usual rest. I wish Adelman would have given JT a chance. If you can let Anderson's soft ass in the game you could at least let JT try.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

So who won the first match Artest vs Ariza?

[HarlemHeat37]

Bynum's man put 14 and 14 on him..Chuck Hayes..

[hhml]

Landry should've played more. He was owning out there.

[The Franchise]

So who won the first match Artest vs Ariza?

They both had 15 point's, but Ariza had more rebounds and assists.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Why did Rockets make Trevor the go to guy anyway?


Who else do they have?

[djohn2oo8]

Man love for Chuck

:lol

5-21 stupid

[cobbler]

You sound stupid.

Like this kind of stupid? :lol


We keep playing how we have been we will win easily.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I say it's a tie. Both hit big three's

[The Franchise]

:lol

5-21 stupid

What fact does that change you fucking dolt?

[hhml]

Who else do they have?

I don't watch a lot of Rockets games but Landry seemed pretty good. Scola's also another option.

[21_Blessings]

What fact does that change you fucking dolt?

Ron Artest clearly won the matchup. God damn rube.

[The Franchise]

Like this kind of stupid? :lol

What was stupid about that quote fool? We didn't play our game and our bench wing didn't even play tonight.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I don't watch a lot of Rockets games but Landry seemed pretty good. Scola's also another option.


You need a perimeter wing who's capable of handling the offense down the stretch. Closest thing to that is Trevor Ariza. When/if T-Mac is healthy, it'll be him.

[milkshakeballa]

Fisher shut Brooks down? :lol:lol

Brooks was not aggresive at all...

If he was assertive he could have scored everytime down the court imo...

Some bad calls but that Brooks non call didn't cost them the game..

[The Franchise]

Ron Artest clearly won the matchup. God damn rube.

So you didn't watch the game?

[Indazone]

Landry should be playing more minutes than Ariza. He's their most efficient player.

[21_Blessings]

So you didn't watch the game?

5-21.

Ariza gave a gutsy performance but Artest outplayed him. Stop being such a retarded homer.

[cobbler]

They both had 15 point's, but Ariza had more rebounds and assists.

Artest 6-14 (42%), 3-7 3pt (42%), 6 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 to
Ariza 5-21 (23%), 2-7 3pt (28%), 9 reb, 5 ast, 0 stl, 3 to

But yeah... they each scored 15. :lmao

[Roxsfan]

Rockets played pretty damned good for having a 40 million dollar hole in their line up. Fragile fucking super star mother fuckers.

Fuck the lakers.

[cobbler]

Landry should be playing more minutes than Ariza. He's their most efficient player.

I like Landrys game. He should have been out there more in the 4th

[j-money24]

What a doucheeeeeeeeeee !

[benefactor]

Man love for Chuck
Indeed. He, Landry and Scola combined for 35 rebounds. :wow

[The Franchise]

Artest 6-14 (42%), 3-7 3pt (42%), 6 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 to
Ariza 5-21 (23%), 2-7 3pt (28%), 9 reb, 5 ast, 0 stl, 3 to

But yeah... they each scored 15. :lmao

As I asked the other simpleton, what fact does that change. Had you watched the game you would also have noticed that Artest was lost on almost every screen and your bigs stopped a lot of Ariza's drives.

Clearly you did not see the game that all of us others did. Artest clearly without doubt outplayed Trevor. I am not even going to bother replying to anything else you have to say on the matter as you simply dont know what your talking about.

[hhml]

Or what the Rockets can do is alternate the go to guy each game depending on the matchup.

[The Franchise]

^We'll be OK until McGrady gets back.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

It's what the probably do, this is the only Rocket game I've seen this year, and they look like a team that shits bricks down the stretch when they're looking for a go to player during a big possession in a close game.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Rockets played pretty damned good for having a 40 million dollar hole in their line up. Fragile fucking super star mother fuckers.

Fuck the lakers.

U Mad!!!!

[21_Blessings]

:lol

What's McGrady going to do besides lose in the 1st round?

[cobbler]

I lied... I simply couldn't pass up showing what a fool you are.

Nice to see by your observations that the Laker bigs were so effective out there at the 20 ft wing position and 3 pt line. :lmao

[iggypop123]

i am getting tired of the 1 game superstars the lakers have. heck they even have series superstars. troy hudson. hayes tonight. something about the lakers and scrubs having career games

[milkshakeballa]

I hate how all Laker fans keep saying this bullshit....

Maybe its because

#1the Lakers don't fukin play much defense

and

#2Phil's defenses have always been geared to make the "non-star" beat them....

[HarlemHeat37]

Hayes was being covered by Bynum, so it's not like it's surprising that he had a big game..

[Roxsfan]

U Mad!!!!

are you the Laker fan bartender from the riverwalk?

[DenDen]

Funny how these faker fan talking shit, when the fakers bareley beat a team missing 2 main players in OT. Bynum did good today holding Chuck hayes to his carrer high of 14 pts n 14 rebound, ha hahahahahahah.

[djohn2oo8]

^ lol

[Man In Black]

:(:pimpslap
Attn: Lakerfans. Your team plays suckass defense and if this is indicative of how your team plays without their latin dude, now you know how we felt without ours in last year's playoffs with the Mav nots.

OT...seriously?
:lmao

And have a home loss too.
:lmao

Well if you guys can win the rest at home, then you can tie the Celtics for most home wins ever at home. It's an easy bet that that won't happen.
