Rockets at Lakers opening day game thread; Oct 26

[VBM]

Man Gasol's playing a great game

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lakers need Drew to match up with Yao. Pau is too soft for him.

yup

[The Franchise]

I hate that little demon Stern.

[ElNono]

Did Stern get his ring too?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Artest has mentally checked out of this game

[DeadlyDynasty]

sick j, bean

[ElNono]

Miller needs to throw that down

[ElNono]

Fish shooting the Lakers out of the game

[ace3g]

MVPau just being MVPau for the Lakers

[NRHector]

yeah Pau you better recognize :lol

[ElNono]

Blazers win

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice shot fishtits

[The Franchise]

Scola looks like hot shit.

[ElNono]

LO with another offensive foul

[Lars]

Artest 3-13 rofl

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dear Ron, please stop shooting k thx,

sincerely,

laker nation

[Killakobe81]

dumb foul by odom
dumb shots by Ron
Say QB!!!!

[noob cake]

Artest 3-13 rofl

Fisher 1-7

[Killakobe81]

And i dont mind if ron shoots but shoot in the offense ... some are way too quick.

[ElNono]

Was that Karl Malone selling women shoes?

[The Franchise]

Fisher 1-7

I bet Scola isn't far behind.

[Killakobe81]

Funny how non Laker fans give the Lakers grief for being pissed at fish ...
I am one Dfish' biggest fans but he is hurting us right now ...

[Texas_Ranger]

Why did the Lakers get Blake. He's worse than Sasha.

[Nathan89]

Lakers need Drew to match up with Yao. Pau is too soft for him.

Terrible

[ElNono]

How's that not a foul on Miller?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Why did the Lakers get Blake. He's worse than Sasha.

he's fine...but he definitely needs to shoot when he's open

[ElNono]

Rockets need to put away this game NOW

[DeadlyDynasty]

goddamnit stop turning it over you sleepwalking fucksticks

[Lars]

Oh Ron, how I love thee.

[HarlemHeat37]

I think that was the first mid-range J I've ever seen Brooks take:lol..

[Chieflion]

Keep shooting Ron, keep shooting.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Ratliff did that whenever he was on the floor for the Spurs last year, he always wants to shoot, even though he's one of the worst offensive players in the NBA..

[ElNono]

It's a chuck fest

[DeadlyDynasty]

see what happens when you shoot a wide open shot, steve?

[The Franchise]

Brooks needs a rest he is starting to look fatigued.

[ElNono]

Rockets are a turnover machine

[DeadlyDynasty]

blake is smoooooooth

[HarlemHeat37]

It would be pretty bad if the Rockets lost this, they've been dominating all game..

[ElNono]

Horrible end of quarter for the Rockets bench

[noob cake]

fml Steve Blake hitting 3's

[Killakobe81]

Blake!!!
To be fair Dfish is chasing Brooks

[picc84]

Blake is already the best Laker point guard since NVE.

[VBM]

Rox blowing leads against LA...per the usual.

In all seriousness, LA was primed for a run...going to be a good 4th quarter

[Nathan89]

Prediction- Blake will be the starting Pg on the lakers by Christmas.

[DeadlyDynasty]

keep whiteboy in there, somebody other than Kobe is finally hitting some shots

[PGDynasty24]

nice pair of 3's by blake. but they need to either put kobe or pau back in because we don't have any playmakers on that lineup

[sefant77]

Rockets gonna blow it as usual because Brooks has no bb iq whatsoever

[The Franchise]

Horrible end of quarter for the Rockets bench

Six of those points were on Brooks. Blake was shooting uncontested on both of those 3's.

[ElNono]

tbh, Fish gives you this shit now, but in the playoffs he can't miss

[Kai]

5 point game, here we go

[DeadlyDynasty]

Kobe will start the first 5 minutes of the 4th on the bench, so don't worry roxs fans

[ElNono]

We have a game

[noob cake]

well this game is over, most likely lost

no lowry :-(

[HarlemHeat37]

Steve Blake only has ONE capability on the basketball court, he only makes open 3s, he doesn't do anything else..Rockets need to get him off that..

[Lars]

Brooks has just played too many minutes. Lowry being out hurts.

[The Franchise]

Stupid foul by Bud. Pau had nowhere to go.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Pau!

[Tmac&Luther]

Rockets gonna blow it as usual because Brooks has no bb iq whatsoever

LOL, are you really going to dog a player who's had the game that Brooks' has had.

Rockets will win this.

[DeadlyDynasty]

stupid foul matty

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol yao walking 5 steps

[noob cake]

loll Kobe with the rapist face

[The Franchise]

Yao you are definitely Mr. Shite tonight.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol It would be pretty funny if Houston lost after all the good things everybody was saying about them in this thread..

[PGDynasty24]

I love the hustle by the 2nd unit

[ElNono]

I'm falling asleep. Nite y'all.

[picc84]

Barnes doesn't really have much talent but that nigga will board on that ass all night if you don't keep track of him.

And we were already the best rebounding team in the league.

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lol It would be pretty funny if Houston lost after all the good things everybody was saying about them in this thread..

:rollin

[noob cake]

Yao and Scola sucking tonight

[z0sa]

Yao leaving Gasol open for a layup, then blowing a 2 footer.

[Killakobe81]

Cut yao some slack ...he missed a whole year ...Wade apologists were making excuses and he just missed pre-season. LOL

just teasing yao will be fine.

[Kai]

Well balls

[Nathan89]

:lol It would be pretty funny if Houston lost after all the good things everybody was saying about them in this thread..

I meant everything I said even if they lose.

[The Franchise]

Why the fuck is Brooks still in? He needs a rest to finish strong, but Adelman isn't seeing that.

[Killakobe81]

Wade will be fine too

[DeadlyDynasty]

Why the fuck is Brooks still in? He needs a rest to finish strong, but Adelman isn't seeing that.

he's out

[z0sa]

What a terrible shot by Lee.

[DeadlyDynasty]

courtney lee doing his best LBJ impression

[The Franchise]

Why is Courtney Lee handling the ball?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Shannnon!!!!!!!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

This is where not having a star hurts Houston, they have nobody to go to when they need a point..

[z0sa]

Was that Brown in consecutive possessions

[VBM]

How predictable was this?

[Killakobe81]

Shan wow!!!

[sefant77]

LOL, are you really going to dog a player who's had the game that Brooks' has had.

Rockets will win this.

lol Brooks homerism. He is a slightly better Barea. Beside some scoring he delivers low bb iq and no defense at all...

But sure, blablablabla how great he is...

[noob cake]

ok gg, game over. no point guard, can't play in the 4th like this

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn this isn't the bench i'm used to seeing...

[PGDynasty24]

Feels good to have a 2nd unit that doesn't lose you leads

[picc84]

Shannon has been ON FIRE since day 1 of preseason. He put a lot of work into his shot.

[The Franchise]

he's out

That happened during the timeout finally.

[Killakobe81]

Yao playing BIG!!!

[sefant77]

3...2...1...clutchfans imploding

:rollin

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn the big gook just threw down

[Killakobe81]

Martin is great at drawing fouls ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

cheap foul

[z0sa]

Martin needs to establish himself, right now should be his time.

[Killakobe81]

Game should be over if we dont bail out Martin with fouls ...

[Trill Clinton]

Martin's style of play is so frustrating to guard.

[Killakobe81]

till kobe get legs he should get more SF mins .

[DeadlyDynasty]

make your ft's big bird

[z0sa]

Shannon Brown kicking some ass.

[The Franchise]

Don't let Battier handle the fucking ball!

[Killakobe81]

shan wow!!!

[Killakobe81]

again!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

SB is fucking killing it!

[z0sa]

Damn, there went the game.

[Trill Clinton]

Look at shannon gettin' his Ginobili on...you go boy!

[noob cake]

when scrubs get hot, w/e gg lakers

[VBM]

SB Tell Em

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Shannon Brown having the game of his life..

[PGDynasty24]

Shannon Brown picking up where he left off in preseason.

[Jelloisjigglin]

Damn Shannon!

[Kai]

Not looking good.

[PGDynasty24]

The coaches were saying Shannon has been working on his spot up shooting all off season. Looks like it's paying off

[sefant77]

rofl

[Quit Hatin']

you are delusional if you think shannon is a scrub.

[Def Rowe]

Shannon Brown, yo...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

God damn, Shannon Brown.

[NRHector]

is time for Fish to go

[The Franchise]

SB, Rocket killer.

[Lars]

doh

[sefant77]

So Blake and Brown can rain open threes all night long...

[Killakobe81]

Thing is we NEED shannon this year. lakers are very slow without him. him and barnes provide some athleticism and speed.

[Kai]

Need Martin to establish superstar status :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

is time for Fish to go

negative, we'll need him for the playoffs:toast

[z0sa]

So Blake and Brown can rain open threes all night long...

I wouldn't give Brown that distinction just yet. But he's done very well tonight. Ballsed up.

[Venti Quattro]

Shannon and Monica's wedding paying dividends!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Most of those 3's were well beyond the 3-point line too..homeboy's got range

[The Franchise]

20 turnovers? Damn!!!

[noob cake]

Official Rockets Killer:

SB
Jason Terry
Al Jefferson

[Trill Clinton]

lol battier sucks!!

[z0sa]

lol make a layup rockets

[DeadlyDynasty]

rockets don't quit

[The Franchise]

WTF was Battier doing?

[Venti Quattro]

lol 7-18 ecstasy :cry

[024]

damn, battier really sucks.

[Killakobe81]

Lets finish these bitches ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Unless LA lockdowns on defense, there will be no tacos tonight

[Venti Quattro]

fuck it's a good thing I benched Battier

[sefant77]

such a funny evening...

[Nathan89]

Need Martin to establish superstar status :lol

Come playoff time Yao will be playing 28-30min per game. His presence will set the tone for rockets offense so don't worry about it. Everybody else will also improve but the rockets need to get a back-up pg.

[The Franchise]

Scola you piece of shit!!

[crc21209]

Please stop showing that beast....:lol

[z0sa]

Pau arguing the sandwich ..

[crc21209]

Is it me or has Scola missed a bunch of chip shots tonight?

[Venti Quattro]

scoLOL

[Killakobe81]

Fuck tacos it's ring night Mf'ers got their money worth ...

[Kai]

Come playoff time Yao will be playing 28-30min per game. His presence will set the tone for rockets offense so don't worry about it. Everybody else will also improve but the rockets need to get a back-up pg.

Kyle Lowry is our backup PG and that fact will not change.

[VBM]

Scola chokejob

[crc21209]

Same old story for the Rockets....everytime I've seen them play in L.A, they play the Lakers tough and lead throughout the entire game, only to choke it and lose in the 4th quarter...

[sefant77]

Is scola drunk? My grandma makes this layups

[Venti Quattro]

lol and then he bricks a jumper

ADELMAN!!! :lmao

[noob cake]

Same old story for the Rockets....everytime I've seen them play in L.A, they play the Lakers tough and lead throughout the entire game, only to choke it and lose in the 4th quarter...

Well this happens a lot against every good team in the NBA. :wakeup

We do this every single season.

[picc84]

PJ actually left Blake in the game instead of bringing back Fisher. I think I just saw a pig flying across the moonlit fucking sky.

[Kai]

Scola having one of his worst nights I can remember him ever having.

[Killakobe81]

Scola sees Derek fisher and his heart goes soft ...he still has nightmares of Dfish knocking him the fyuck out!!!

[DesignatedT]

scola was pretty bad tonight

[The Franchise]

I would have rather seen Jordan Hill than this drunk motherfucker playing power forward for us tonight.

[sefant77]

Scola having one of his worst nights I can remember him ever having.

straight after his birth

[Kai]

God damn Steve Blake and Shannon Brown can rain threes and Scola, our most consistent player, can't make a layup to save his life.

[Killakobe81]

Maybe, upstairs they will finally stop crying over losing scola after this choke job .... not.

[Venti Quattro]

Artest shooting 3-15. Yeah Ron, give your ring to charity because you don't deserve it

[DeadlyDynasty]

PJ actually left Blake in the game instead of bringing back Fisher. I think I just saw a pig flying across the moonlit fucking sky.

:lmao

[DesignatedT]

layup drill in practice for the rockets tomorrow.

[crc21209]

Scola finally makes one! :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Jay Sean hits a three. Lakers completely still in a tussle here.

[The Franchise]

Battier is fucking done.

[crc21209]

Kobe and his damn "Ayyy!!!!" everytime he gets hit or thinks he gets hit...:lol

[Killakobe81]

The closer ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

and that's why Kobe is still the best closer in the game

[DesignatedT]

there you go rockets.

[crc21209]

Battier is fucking done.

We'll gladly take him...:tu

[picc84]

Kobe is 34 on a bad knee and Battier still can't guard him, the fuckface.

[Libri]

clutch time

[Trill Clinton]

Jay Sean hits a three. Lakers completely still in a tussle here.

:lmao

[DeadlyDynasty]

goddamnit

[VBM]

Rox are scrappy...I'll give them that

[DesignatedT]

battier looks like hes lost a step defensively... a big step.

[Killakobe81]

Horseshit call

[DeadlyDynasty]

pa-pau

[crc21209]

Lucky shit...

[DeadlyDynasty]

scola nice play

[Trill Clinton]

c'mon kobe...

[Lars]

Nooooo

[Killakobe81]

The closer with the assist!!! Blake!!!

[IronMexican]

Fucking Blake.

[VBM]

Steve Blake...best closer in the game

[AnthonyM]

lol scola starts beasting because he's pissed he's been fiddling with his dick all night

[z0sa]

Houston should probably guard those point guards raining three's on em.

[The Franchise]

Why was Blake that wide open.....again?

[DesignatedT]

scola!

[MannyIsGod]

God damn this is a game.

[picc84]

Knew that was going in.

[PGDynasty24]

nice pass kobe. blake u fucking rock

[DeadlyDynasty]

Steve motherfucking Blake...well done, Mitch. Now just guard the goddamn 3 point line plz

[Killakobe81]

Scola way to bounce back that move is all he had tonight stop that spin by the Caveman scola by BTW 16 boards for scola ...

[DesignatedT]

yep blake. thats money.

[sefant77]

rofl

[noob cake]

Steve Blake, Shannon Brown

lol Scrubs Beasting

[Kai]

Brooks time

[sefant77]

Brooks is Barea...cant guard shit, rofl

[crc21209]

That pass looked like it was meant for Gasol...

[Killakobe81]

Blake playing the Dfish role ...

[Trill Clinton]

kmart is going to shoot freethrows

[picc84]

Scola didn't do shit til Fish left the game.

[DesignatedT]

gotta go to scola in the post

[crc21209]

Scola is a complete FUCKING IDIOT. Why did he force it so much there?

[DeadlyDynasty]

off houston

[z0sa]

It looked like Odom hit it, but was it through a rocket hand?

[Killakobe81]

Nope that pas was for Blake Gasol realized it late ...

[The Franchise]

That was off odom.

[PGDynasty24]

I can't tell. what was original call?

[HarlemHeat37]

That was off Odom..

Houston has to go for 3 here, might as well(if they get it back)..

[MannyIsGod]

terrible play call but they should get one more chance

[picc84]

If this was any other west team Houston would have blown them out tonight.

[z0sa]

LA ball currently.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I can't tell. what was original call?

off houston

[VBM]

Be nice to look at the replay instead of kobe talking

[Killakobe81]

We still havent used sasha, no Bynum we will be tough once healthy ...

[DesignatedT]

off odom. martin for 3 ftw

[DeadlyDynasty]

it's not insdisputable imo, but we'll see

[Killakobe81]

no replay that is conclusive ...get it to Lakers ..gam over lets see the TNT post-game show ..

[Libri]

Houston ball

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn

[picc84]

lol @ letting brooks inbound against gasol

george karl level retardation

[z0sa]

Houston ball

that was the right call tbh

[VBM]

fwiw, great opening night game

[MannyIsGod]

tough spot to inbound from

[IronMexican]

Does the NBA have an inconclusive rule? Like, where there has to be enough evidence.

[Killakobe81]

Bull shit if you had the replay dont take that long make the call already game should be over or heading to OT already ...

[PGDynasty24]

please no 3's!!!

[sefant77]

it was Brooks....

[DesignatedT]

why is brooks inbounding... he cant even see

[HarlemHeat37]

Why is Brooks inbounding?..

I'll predict that Houston won't get a shot off..

[PGDynasty24]

no 3's!!

[DaDakota]

What a great game so far..........Houston is going to be really good this year, win or lose tonight.

DD

[Killakobe81]

Blake FTW!!!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

ballgame

[Quit Hatin']

this shit is over

[PGDynasty24]

yea baby. fun game to start season

[Kai]

Good Game Lakers

[Nathan89]

shane battier jacking off two guys into his eyes:lmao

[The Franchise]

That was the worst pass they could have given him the ball.

[z0sa]

Brooks changed hands and avoided the contact. Should have just gone up strong.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Ugly win, poor shooting and defense but it's only game 1 so i'll take it.

[MannyIsGod]

2 fucking terrible late game play calls by Houston. Someone might want to let them know LA has a shitload of length. Call a fucking jumpshot.

[DesignatedT]

decent play. brooks should have went straight up with it.. he kind of hesitated.

[GuerillaBlack]

81 games left. The Rockets are going to be pretty damn good.

[VBM]

On the bad side...it's a Laker win. On the good side, any loss by a division rival works for me. Again, great game

[DeadlyDynasty]

Good Game Lakers

you too brah, Houston's gonna be tough this year

[Giuseppe]

What a glorious nite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
