Rockets at Lakers 1/5/10

[djohn2oo8]

We clearly need Budinger tonight, Gasol out I think, Artest could possibly return, and Odom with a stomach virus, but probably will play. Do you guys think Bynum will dominate tonight?

[Allanon]

Bynum's been very disappointing against Hayes so far. Gotta give that man some 6'5 credit defending 7 footers.

Sooner or later though, Bynum will drop 40 on Hayes....hopefully tonight :lol

[djohn2oo8]

Brooks needs to once again, declare to Fisher that he fathered him

[BadOdor]

Won't need gasol to beat this scrub team.

don't be mad roxx fan, lakers will just be beating a team their supposed to beat.

yup still took you guys to 7 games last year and we still have our core. Enough good players to play hard and steal one from you.

Son I'm glad you got something to keep you proud for 20 years to come.....those 2 rings did happen a long while ago, now you can tell everyone how you went past the first round and took the defending champs to 7 games.

God bless son.

[The Gemini Method]

With one "revenge" game paid in full on Sunday, I would like to think the Lakers win this one in close fashion. However, the last time we faced Houston--the Rockets flat out played with more energy, heart, and hustle. If the Lakers had 1/3 of those intrinsic qualities, we'd probably have 3 less losses and be less maddening. Here's to a good game, Rocketfan.

[Allanon]

Yup.

Rockets owe the Lakers a game... but I think it will be a blowout.

[BadOdor]

the roxx want no part of the lake show....scola will shit himselfs when he sees stinky fish in the starting line up.

[The Gemini Method]

The biggest game-to-game question is which Bench Mob shows up? The one that emulates the famed Gambino '80's outfit or The Cashmere Mafia version? ;)

[duhoh]

ABZ and Landry should have big nights.

[Andrew Bynum]

Pau's out. Fuck, that means I actually have to try hard and pretend I give a shit. Can't wait till my knee blows up again, that way I can just sit back and chill on my 12M.

[Allanon]

ABZ and Landry should have big nights.

Landry will have to deal with Odom this time and Odom's the better defensive matchup than Pau for the Lakers.

[The Gemini Method]

Also, keeping with the tradition of better play, good to see Lamar "I married the wrong Kardashian; oooh Abba Zabba" Odom beastin' of late...

[Muser]

Son I'm glad you got something to keep you proud for 20 years to come.....those 2 rings did happen a long while ago, now you can tell everyone how you went past the first round and took the defending champs to 7 games.

God bless son.

Now it's about Aaron Brooks ability or inability to singlehandedly own the Lakers...We shall find out tonight

The cavs will not win a champion ship, but they'll get past the first round.

Can't say the same thing about the rockets.

champion ship
did you just take a breath? or are you talking about a Navy vessel?

How long did that take u to figure out? Did u get a braincramp while u thought about it? Starting center = 6'6, genius :rolleyes

[BadOdor]

either way, cavs will never have one:toast

[BadOdor]

allright brah, just making sure that roxx fan realize their team sucks. Don't want you to be like spur fan thinking their old and done team is a contender.

God bless.

[Muser]

You know a troll sucks when they use stereotypes as an insults. On topic lakers win this one but it will be close.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

Rockets had no chance to beat the Lakers last year. With Yao in the lineup, they were 1-2 in the playoffs and 0-4 in the regular season. Since Yao went out, they're 3-3. However, they did solve how to play small ball in LA in November, so let's see what happens. A playoff rematch would be fun, Rockets would have nothing to lose, again. I expect Houston to be aggressive tonight. If LA can't match their intensity, they can be beaten. If Lakers man up and play to their potential, kiss the west goodbye.

[UrAphag]

Bynum needs to stop playing like a little bitch against defenders half a foot shorter than him. If he does that then the lakers can win easily.

[Brazil]

So Artest will play or not ?

[The Gemini Method]

So Artest will play or not ?

It says that he was cleared to play. Whether or not he does is an entirely different matter.

[Double-Up]

either way, cavs will never have one:toast

lol Cavs

[Allanon]

So Artest will play or not ?

Probably will play a little.

[Many PackYao]

After seeing what they did to the Mavs with Pal Gasal out for most of the game, Rockets are gonna get curbstomped tonight. Kobe never has off night against us.:bang

[Indazone]

yes but it'll be fun watching Hayes push Bynum all over the court :lol

[Killakobe81]

Rox may win who knows? we are far from 100% and rox play hard almost every night ...
BUt my guess payback week continues but it will be close make a kobe dagger late ...

[TheManFromAcme]

You never know with this Laker squad. If Drew gets man handled it could be a close one. If not and Drew plays with passion and Lamar has one of those great games we all know he can have, should be a easy win.

[iggypop123]

its not a second night of a back to back so that should help the lakers. artest will play, so unless brooks goes nuts from 3 again like he did in LA the lakers should win

[Banzai]

Let's see them do that w/out Lebron:sleep

He is not a scrub. He is an international pro, new to the NBA. Remember the name:toast

[Danny.Zhu]

Go Rockets.

[PGDynasty24]

we have no rivalry with Houston

[The_Dude]

Christ, do the Lakers ever play an away game?


*checks schedule*

11 road game so far? Yeah, that's the fewest in the league. Every other division leader has played ~18.

[Double-Up]

We need a scorer badly...hope someone steps up in the 2nd.

[ElNono]

I just tuned in and the first thing I saw was Bavetta. Rockets have no chance.
I'm debating wether to stay up and watch the rest of the game.

[IronMexican]

The hollywood award shows in February always give the Lakers an early heavy home schedule.

[The_Dude]

The hollywood award shows in February always give the Lakers an early heavy home schedule.

Yeah I understand why it happens, but it's still pretty ridiculous.

For example, even the Clippers have played 15 road games. I'll be interested to see if there is any disparity between the LAC and LAL home/away numbers come Feb/Mar.

Ariza showing LA what they are missing!

Now that that shitty ass BCS game is over, all attention will be on this game.

[PGDynasty24]

houston getting the royal treatment to the line while kobe gets hacked

[ElNono]

Sacto cuts the lead to 10 against phoenix and Evans get injured... :pctoss

They are typically dealt a schedule front-loaded with home games because Staples Center kicks them out in late January and early February for the Grammys.

[ElNono]

Fish super late moving to get in from of Brooks, still gets the call... :rolleyes

[ElNono]

On the other hand, Ron Ron looking good...

[ElNono]

Scola flop! :lol

[PGDynasty24]

these refs blow

[ElNono]

Dick will keep the game interesting until the last quarter...

[Lars]

LOL Artest is something else.

[Kai]

lol 55-59 at the end of the 3rd. Low scoring affair.

[KidCongo]

Artest shouldn't try drive, he is too top heavy.

[Killakobe81]

Hey great defense by the ROX but they make games ugly i would take Landry and Battier on my team and even ariza back ...
Battier is a great defender but their team defens eis great when Kobe beats battier Landry and Hayes or ariza are helping great defense!!!
But i also agree bad calls in this game ...

[ElNono]

So, is T-Mac playing in the 4th? :lol

[PGDynasty24]

these refs are fucking bs

[iggypop123]

lots of flopping charges tonight

[ElNono]

Ariza playing great on Kobe straight up...

[ElNono]

Bavetta with the bs call...

[Lars]

Man we just cant get over the hump.

[PGDynasty24]

refs are giving houston the game and were still taking it 2 u

[ElNono]

Portland loses at home another close one wih the Grizz...

[Kai]

wow 2 pt game.

[PGDynasty24]

hahaha what a flop by brooks,refs are single handidly have kept rox in the game

[Banzai]

wow 2 pt game.

Ariza and Battier shoot the 3 similarly?

[ElNono]

If Kobe would get guarded with all the same shoveling he does on defense it would be a foul every time...
And I'm just saying, because the refs have been horrible for both sides...

[Killakobe81]

Bad refed gameI'll agree those that thought Bynum wpuld suck tonight forgot how good he was when Gasol was out ...

[Spursmania]

Houston, you guys played with heart and there is nothing to be ashamed of when you lose this game. This Rockets team impresse me so much. They work well together, they hustle and they keep fighting.

If only you had big Yao, you would have been a real force to reckon with. Yao was playing better than I had ever seen him play last year before his injury.

[ElNono]

Dumb foul by Scola

[Shank]

Was this another home game for the Lakers?

[Banzai]

Was this another home game for the Lakers?

I believe so.

[Lars]

Its really sad when I think back to 06/07 when all we had was Mac/Yao, now we desperately need some go to guys.

[ElNono]

Actually this was just a bad shooting night for the Rockets. Defense was allright.

[iggypop123]

he would hurt them. he slows them down by alot. no iso's for brooks either

[DazedAndConfused]

The interesting thing about Yao Ming is that he actually makes the Rockets an easier team to defend for the Lakers.

His sheer size and presence means less guard penetration and more of a traditional halfcourt offense, which the Lakers are infinitely more capable of guarding.

I think one of the main reasons the Rockets were so competitive during last year's playoffs was because Yao went out. The Lakers simply had no answer for Aaron Brooks who was given free reign to penetrate and probe on just about every possession.

[iggypop123]

Actually this was just a bad shooting night for the Rockets. Defense was allright.

i guess the lakers 47 rebounds a +15 edge has nothing to do with it right? contrast to last time they played at home when the rockets had 60!

[PGDynasty24]

that is weird. rockets play lakers better without yao ming. 6-1 last year vs rockets with yao ming. 2-3 without yao ming

[Lars]

WTB healthy team.

[ElNono]

i guess the lakers 47 rebounds a +15 edge has nothing to do with it right? contrast to last time they played at home when the rockets had 60!

When you look at Odom and Bynum's size then you look at Scola and Landry, then +15 should be the standard. Don't get me wrong, having Ron Ron out there increments dramatically the Lakers defensive game. But Rockets just couldn't hit a 3 tonight, which they normally do.

That's true. Phil does comment that Brooks just kills the Lakers. Their shooting was really off tonight though. Another win for you guys. Can't wait to see LA and the Spurs play next week.

[ginobili's bald spot]

No doubt. The Rockets with Yao don't scare me at all. With him they play right into our hands. But without Yao they are a real pain in the ass.

[Indazone]

Actually Yao said he was excited about the new style of play of the Rockets. Last year he said they did more traditional pick and roll for T-Mac but Adleman insisted this year that they fully commit to the motion offense. It'll be interesting to see how Yao fits in the new uptempo offense.

[cobbler]

these refs blow

You really need to let go of the blaming the refs thing... You do it every damn game. It's a bitch move reserved for Spur and Suns fan. You're better than that.:toast

Agreed again small "big men" give us HUGE problems (pun intended) ...Landry, Leon Powe, Boozer (sometimes) Milsap, malik Rose (back in the day) because we have traditional big men (shaq, Gasol bynum)

Artest brings instant defensive intensity, glad he's back.

I agree, I thought he looked totally lost. Apparenty PJ did too since he sat his ass. Concussions are weird and it will take him a few games to get back into it.

[chubster]

Bynum can say whatever he wants about him being comfortable with or without Pau but the truth is he wants the paint area all to himself. It's blatantly obvious how much more comfortable he is playing alongside Odom.

[cobbler]

Bynum can say whatever he wants about him being comfortable with or without Pau but the truth is he wants the paint area all to himself. It's blatantly obvious how much more comfortable he is playing alongside Odom.

It's about touches. Clearly when Pau is playing Bynum is the 3rd option. With Pau out he becomes number 2 and you could see the Lakers made the effort to get him involved. When he "gets it" he will realize that if he is on the court with Pau his primary responsibility should be to crash the boards and defend. Without Pau he is an automatic 20-10 guy. With Pau it's just not going to happen.

[ElNono]

He doesn't care about defensive rebounds. When shots go up, you will see Bynum already sprinting down the other way for easy buckets.

Some players are offensive minded, some are defensive minded. Dwight Howard, Joakim Noah and Ben Wallace are defensive minded bigs. They're the type that take pride in playing defense, blocking shots and cleaning up misses. Bynum is offensive minded. He enjoys scoring more than anything else. In fact, his defensive game relies heavily on how many touches he gets in the game. Shaq sums it up perfectly with his words "if you don't feed the dog, he won't guard the house."

I just noticed in the standings, even with the Rockets loss, every team in the SouthWest division is +.500.

Pretty amazing.

Actually, NOH has been a complete disappointment. They looked a lot better on paper when the season started. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been difficult to see all team over .600 there....

[ElNono]

I think Bynum rebounding is all about effort. I always see him getting beat to rebounds by smaller players. But when he plays against Shaq/Duncan/Legit big man, he really works on boxing out and making sure he does well out there....
First game he ends up with 3 boards and the Lakers lose, Phil is gonna gt on his lazy ass...
It's a shame too because he has the size to really be beasting the boards out there.

Rockets needs to be moved to the eastern pussy conference

[YellowFever]

Bynum finally owned 6'5" Chuck Hayes and forced him to the bench, that is significant progress.

And there aren't many rebounds to be had with Klomar gobbling up damn near 20.

Come on, Allan, that's the same excuse the kid made when Gasol was gobbling up all those rebounds a couple of weeks ago.

Both teams shot well below their average...there were way more than 20 rebounds to be grabbed.

I can't even begin to count the times I've seen him turn around and start trotting down to the other side of the court when the ball is still in the air.

And with his size and skills, there is no way ANYONE short of a Dwight Howard should ever get the better of him.

I just hope Kupchek finds a GM stupid enough to take this lazy assed bum off our hands.

[21_Blessings]

Bynum puts up 24/8 with a + 16, game clinching steal and you're bitching about him? Haha. Get a fucking life.

[IronMexican]

Bynum's is awesome possum.

:lol i can understand someone bitching when he has a terrible game but come on bro..24 fuckin points & clutch shots in the 4th quarter..We all know hes capable of playing better & harder so I cant be mad at that.

[Killakobe81]

I want more effort true but * rebounds is not bad ...everyone had to help cuz Houston is so active an dBynum showed a lot on pnr I agree he should get at least 10 to 12 in a game like this ...but pnr was more critical

[j.dizzle]

If Odom had tonights swagger in 75% of LA's games, I would be ridiculously happy but we all know it aint gonna happen hahaha oh well atleast hes a nice insurance policy when pau or andrew get hurt. Freakin 6 foot 10 player with point guard skills, he needs to stay confident.

[21_Blessings]

Bitching about Bynum's rebounding statistic tonight, after a W, where the Lakers out rebounded Houston by 14 has to be one of the dumbest things ever.

Lamar was grabbing defensive boards ---> then pushing the ball up the floor because he's a point forward and the Lakers want him grabbing those D boards.

Bynum was not getting beat on the boards at all tonight. Any defensive board he could have gotten went into Lamar Odom's hands. What's the problem here? Basketball is a team fucking game.

[j.dizzle]

^hahaha dont trip man some ppl will just never be happy

[j.dizzle]

btw the NBA section on this forum is hella boring now..peaceeeeee

[namlook]

Bynum and Odom were the difference tonight.

[TheManFromAcme]

You never know with this Laker squad. If Drew gets man handled it could be a close one. If not and Drew plays with passion and Lamar has one of those great games we all know he can have, should be a easy win.


:clap

[Venti Quattro]

Lakers ran out of ammo from scoring 131 on Dallas. Good to see that they pulled the stops to win.

[Muser]

Didn't watch the game, but what's up with Kobe? 23 shots to get 22 points?

[Brazil]

he had 2 blks also no ?

Kobe played great defense. Just missed shots he normally hits and wasn't getting much love from the officials.

[ElNono]

kobe was defended great by ariza and battier. He wasn't getting much love from the officials.

Kobe was missing chippies. He was easily getting good looks over Battier last night.

[Muser]

Ah right. Thank god Odom is the most inconsistent player in all of sports..

[Double-Up]

Klomar better get sum tonight at home for his effort tonight.

Artest brings instant defensive intensity, glad he's back.

I hope not.

F'n Klomar, he's probably thinking about Kim while he's hittin' it. :lol

[The Gemini Method]

After seeing that Carl's Jr. Salad commercial, I would be thinkin' about hitting Kim instead, too. Man, has a salad ever been that appealing? lol.

I don't need to put up pics/vids I got Laker comrades to do it for me lol. J/k...I never thought much about Kim, but geebuz...

[Allanon]

Yeah I understand why it happens, but it's still pretty ridiculous.

For example, even the Clippers have played 15 road games. I'll be interested to see if there is any disparity between the LAC and LAL home/away numbers come Feb/Mar.

It's not really too bad when you compare it with other similarly affected teams. Like the Spurs are affected by the Rodeo so they've only played 13 road games. After tonight's "road game", the Lakers will have 12 and the Spurs 13 road games.

Both the Lakers and Spurs have ALOT of road games coming up so the price will be paid for that early home heavy schedule.

I've heard alot said about the Lakers getting a favorable home schedule because they're a big market team. But the Spurs are one of the smallest markets and they're right there with the Lakers.

It's nothing more than scheduling around Arena events in January/February, no grand Stern conspiracy here.

[TheMACHINE]

In regards to rebounds, a true "box out" means that your opponents dont get the ball. You, yourself dont nessecarily have to get the ball, as long as the guy ur boxing out doesnt. Lamar was just snatching balls left and right.
