Rockets @ Lakers

[Banzai]

Yet another game that is disappointing. Martin is a Laker killer..he stinks against other teams and shows up when its the Lakers lol..:bang

[Darth_Pelican]

Last time I had checked the score the Lakers were up by about 12, now they are down 4, wtf lol.

[djohn2oo8]

Doubt we hold the lead, but still, Lakers obviously need a move

[Leetonidas]

Come on Rockettes, send that Cubby ass to the tree of woe.

[j.dizzle]

The D has been garbage for a while now. How does Kevin martin get so many FT shots all the time lmao

[j.dizzle]

Odom 4-13, that aint gonna get it done if Bynum is sitting out.

[Banzai]

ya baby...

[Banzai]

Also Luke Walton is seriously awful..wow talk about a momentum killer lol.

[redzero]

That 3 was beautiful.

[Darth_Pelican]

86-86

[scottspurs]

This is about the time when the rockets usually pull a disappearing act

[redzero]

That other 3 was beautiful.

[Banzai]

fuck.

[DJ Mbenga]

back to gasol only getting 40 seconds of rest per game.

[ElNono]

Lakers got this. Houston can't really hang on.

[djohn2oo8]

Vanishing act coming...

[Killakobe81]

No wonder Spurs arent in here LOLing ...didnt know aldridge busted ass on that small frontline ...

[DPG21920]

No wonder Spurs arent in here LOLing ...didnt know aldridge busted ass on that small frontline ...

Incredible game from LA. Reminds me of Blair vs Gasol/Bynum.

[Killakobe81]

Freaking scola ...

[Killakobe81]

Incredible game from LA. Reminds me of Blair vs Gasol/Bynum.

We shall see come Thursday ...

[DPG21920]

We shall see come Thursday ...

We saw on Dec 20th.

[Killakobe81]

When did Blair get 40 and 18? in college? NBA2k11?

[Rummpd]

No wonder Spurs arent in here LOLing ...didnt know aldridge busted ass on that small frontline ...


Pop went small and Duncan was not in there when Portland made their big run and Blair who had feasted on the Blazers all the first half was not either. Spurs had outrebounded the Blazers by 10 + then Pop blew it - he will not when it counts.

No worries.

[Killakobe81]

We saw on Dec 20th.

You won at home I expect us to do the same ...if not Mitch is sending someone to the tree of woe ...

Dont be sad DPG i know you in here hoping and praying for a loss ...didnt celts lose too? We cant catch you anyway ...

[frodo]

lakers are not dis good to begin wit, and there getting weaker as time elapses and age takes effect on dem gangstas

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Rockets hanging tough, but no match for the Lakers.
Kobe will score on Kevin Martin everytime down.

[frodo]

rockets always da laker nemesis imo triggas always give tough matches no matta how good/bad they are

[Killakobe81]

Lamar has been nails almost ALL year ...

[ElNono]

No wonder Spurs arent in here LOLing ...didnt know aldridge busted ass on that small frontline ...

I'm here

[redzero]

Fisher with the matador defense.

[Darth_Pelican]

Houston should go for the win here

[redzero]

Kobe with the questionable shot.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Damn Scola takes that shit right at Pau

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Might as well go for the win

[ElNono]

Is this game at Staples?

[Darth_Pelican]

I predict a wild shot from the ballhog Brooks

[ElNono]

They'll probably chuck a 3 and miss

[Killakobe81]

Kobe with a tough shot ... but why did no one flash to the paint? he has to go at martin force the help and then make the pass or if they dont come he HAS to get to the rack!!

[LnGrrrR]

Eh, I hate going for the three here. Try to get off a good percentage 2, and if you can't, then go for the three.

[DJ Mbenga]

if LO doesnt get to the all star game its not because he doesnt deserve it, its because the coaches didnt want to.

[Killakobe81]

Oh my bad celts won only 3 games back of spurs oh oh ...

[ElNono]

:lmao that defense

[DPG21920]

You won at home I expect us to do the same ...if not Mitch is sending someone to the tree of woe ...

Dont be sad DPG i know you in here hoping and praying for a loss ...didnt celts lose too? We cant catch you anyway ...

How? Mitch has no tradeable pieces outside of LO/Bynum/Pau/Kobe and they aren't giving them up.

[Darth_Pelican]

nice play

[Cant_Be_Faded]

How does the tallest team in the league suck so much unbleached asshole at defense????


Lakers are a joke

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Too easy, come on Laker D

[DesignatedT]

if this shit ends on a foul call im going to ...... well im not gunna do anything but it better not end on a foul coul and send kome to the line

[redzero]

Lakers with questionable defense.

[DJ Mbenga]

sometimes i wish pau was black. he has no athleticism.

[Leetonidas]

This is hilarious, come on Rockettes slam Cubby's dick in the window

[Darth_Pelican]

sooo will Kobe hit the winner here???

[Killakobe81]

Great play call by the rox ....

yes the Lakers made a bad switch ... (pau) but great misdirection play ...I might have to use that one. Great job.

Lakers will have to be better on thursday win or lose ...

[Rummpd]

Tie game to the same team the Spurs clobbered - to be fair you are missing your starting boo boo center but Odom has played unreal in his place basically.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Lucky for Lakers and fans Kobe gonna win it here

[Killakobe81]

How? Mitch has no tradeable pieces outside of LO/Bynum/Pau/Kobe and they aren't giving them up.

Just wait ...you will see.

[Rummpd]

Overtime go Rockets!

[ElNono]

CROFL #2 seed forcing overtime @ Staples

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

LO almost had it. Have to get a better shot than that though

[Darth_Pelican]

an ELE bet goes to overtime, how exciting lol

[DJ Mbenga]

even i knew they were running that screen for kobe. dont know why ron was in that part of the game. why not shannon brown. would have opened up the floor for a kobe shot.

[LnGrrrR]

What is up with Lakers playing like garbage against the Rox this year? :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Kobe's knee should hold up nicely in OT. The integrity of the ligaments in his knee actually get stronger, the more minutes he plays.

[ElNono]

Odom deserved to make that though

[Killakobe81]

not mad at LO ...he had a small man on him ... he has been hot. no complaints.

BUT Rox run a great play ...we run a horrible one ... diagramming plays is NOT PJ's strong suit ...but with Kobe, shaq, MJ and Pip he did not have to ...

[LakerHater]

OT :lol

[djohn2oo8]

For once can we pull one out?

[Banzai]

I had a prediction for the houston and spurs games..I'll give it after this game.

[ElNono]

Scola on that last play of regulation is what Aldrige looked like against us tonight, basically

[Killakobe81]

What is up with Lakers playing like garbage against the Rox this year? :lol

Rox ALWAYS play us tough not sure why ...

Oh and ROFL Spurs getting busted by an injury depleted blazers team since we want to go there ...

[redzero]

When's Kyle Lowry going to hit puberty?

[Killakobe81]

Martin going to work ...

[DPG21920]

Rox ALWAYS play us tough not sure why ...

Oh and ROFL Spurs getting busted by an injury depleted blazers team since we want to go there ...

You realize he is a Boston fan.

[ElNono]

tbh, Kevin Martin sometimes does look like a superstar...

[Killakobe81]

Good call ...

[DJ Mbenga]

What is up with Lakers playing like garbage against the Rox this year? :lol

this has been going on for about 3 years already

[redzero]

Lamar with the offensive interference.

[ElNono]

Why Lakeshow with a 2 PG lineup? Where's Ron?

[redzero]

Houston with the pinpoint shooting.

[Killakobe81]

You realize he is a Boston fan.

That wasnt for him genius, just included it since iwas responding to his message when i said "you" wasnt at Lngrr it was one of you spur fans

[DPG21920]

Brooks likes to murder LA. Don't know why...

[DPG21920]

That wasnt for him genius, just included it since iwas responding to his message when i said "you" wasnt at Lngrr it was one of you spur fans

Well, clarify these things so it's not confusing. I felt like a Laker fan seeing a calculus problem :lol

[DJ Mbenga]

time for pau to miss his usual clutch ft

[Killakobe81]

Pau needs these ... he has not always been clutch with FT's

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Aaron Brooks stupid shot

[Killakobe81]

Dfish!!!!!

[ElNono]

Killa, you think Mitch is gonna make a move?

[crc21209]

Brooks with 2 stupid ass decisions....idiot.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

6-0 run Lakers got this

[Jelloisjigglin]

Fuck, we look terrible :lmao

Props to Fish for that play though

[ElNono]

Houston just doesn't have enough, plus they're probably tired already. I'm surprised this got to OT, tbh

[Darth_Pelican]

Aaron Brooks is the JR Smith of point guards.

[DPG21920]

Lakers are so stacked that Bynum gets hurt and they just plug in a 20/20 guy :lol

[Jelloisjigglin]

Great defense :lmao

[crc21209]

Game over. Brooks lost the game for them when they were up 4 and this idiot went for a 28 foot 3-pointer and then turned the ball over on the next possession...

[ElNono]

At least Ebanks got some burn...

[DJ Mbenga]

the rockets have no business being in this game. fortunately for them the lakers feel like giving them some free points with open layups.

[007nites]

On the bright side.

Kobe: 46 minutes
Gasol: 48 minutes
Odom: 50 minutes

[Killakobe81]

On the bright side.

Kobe: 45 minutes
Gasol: 48 minutes
Odom: 49 minutes

Dont worry we got plenty left for Thursday ...

[crc21209]

:lol ANOTHER dumbass 3 by Brooks....

[DJ Mbenga]

if anything for the spurs fans. kobe gasol and odom all played more than 46 minutes.

[j.dizzle]

Fellas, no surprises here. The Rockets can play their waterboys against LA & the game will be close. If you have a team that hustles a lot & can hit some three's then you will always have a chance vs LA.

[ElNono]

Banzai, what was your prediction?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Kevin Martin locked down Kobe in clutch time of this game. Bryant clanked every jumper he took. He's clearly not getting the lift on those fadeaways he used to.

Lakers are fucked this year. And I love it.

[DPG21920]

Game. Blouses.

[DPG21920]

Only one Rocket got FT's? How is that possible :lol

[Killakobe81]

Martin is nails as a shooter but they should NOT give him ALL of the failing FT's he gets ...

[DPG21920]

LA with double the FT's.

[Killakobe81]

Kevin Martin locked down Kobe in clutch time of this game. Bryant clanked every jumper he took. He's clearly not getting the lift on those fadeaways he used to.

What the hell are you taling about only time Kobe didnt bust on Martin is when Hayes helped ...

[Banzai]

Banzai, what was your prediction?

I predicted the Lakers would go either 2-0 this stretch..or at worse 1-1.

[DJ Mbenga]

Only one Rocket got FT's? How is that possible :lol

they've shot 36 3s tonight

[ElNono]

I predicted the Lakers would go either 2-0 this stretch..or at worse 1-1.

Looking good so far :tu

[DPG21920]

they've shot 36 3s tonight

But no one else got fouled during a shot the entire game?

[Killakobe81]

a win is a win ... but I would trade this one for one thursday or ESPECIALLy one last sunday

[DPG21920]

a win is a win ... but I would trade this one for one thursday or ESPECIALLy one last sunday

Why? Isn't it just the pre-season?

[DJ Mbenga]

this was quite an audition for the all star game for LO. the thing is have the coaches already voted for the game? he will get snubbed but its not because he doesnt deserve it

[ElNono]

a win is a win ... but I would trade this one for one thursday or ESPECIALLy one last sunday

Last Sunday ain't coming back...

[ElNono]

this was quite an audition for the all star game for LO. the thing is have the coaches already voted for the game? he will get snubbed but its not because he doesnt deserve it

Voting by coaches closed tonight

[Killakobe81]

Our announcers are cool ... they dont just suck off the Lakers. Lakers can NOT be happy about this win. Many other local announcers would be too busy slobbing on their star players performace ...to crticize a win.

But I miss chick ...

[Killakobe81]

Why? Isn't it just the pre-season?

Celts are our rivals and Thursday only matters on this forum. Doesnt mean shit come may ...

If Lakers win ...you guys will resort to we have the best record and it was just a regular season game,

If Lakers lose ...yall will be in here talking shit ...I just want to fuck with yall for a while ....

As for Celts ALREADY expressed why that mattered to me ...go to that game thread to see why if you care ...

[Killakobe81]

LOL wow Manu shook the hell out of Dante C (watching Spur highlights)

[Capt Bringdown]

Game over. Brooks lost the game for them when they were up 4 and this idiot went for a 28 foot 3-pointer and then turned the ball over on the next possession...

Yup, that was the deciding sequence. The play where he dived along the baseline and tossed a pass out to Fisher was spectacularly stupid.

[ElNono]

LOL wow Manu shook the hell out of Dante C (watching Spur highlights)

lol yeah.. People were like :wow

[ElNono]

khlomar interview

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't know how Rockets fans can stomach Brooks..I didn't watch much of this game, but just from watching the last few Rockets games, his shot selection is atrocious..

[Killakobe81]

I just want to win games ... x3 ...Lamar has matured a lot ...hate to admit but married like has matured Lamar ...

[j.dizzle]

I just want to win games ... x3 ...Lamar has matured a lot ...hate to admit but married like has matured Lamar ...

This is Odoms most consistent season. Just wish Bynum was never out earlier in the season cuz it took a toll on Pau's legs.

[benefactor]

LOL wow Manu shook the hell out of Dante C (watching Spur highlights)
Even the Rose Garden crowd thought he did 'em dirty.

Exciting game:

A few thoughts.

Aaron Brooks is not right, that ankle injury is still bothering him, he is not comfortable on it, you can tell, his 3ball has no arc, and is just way way off.

Kyle Lowry is still a backup PG....he is just not a good shooter.

Luis Scola is great, gotta love his hustle.

Kevin Martin can play good O, and a little D, but when the game is late, he has very little impact because his handles are not good.

Chuck Hayes is amazing.

Shane Battier needs to be traded.

on the Lakers:

Kobe was coasting, you knew if it got late he would turn it on, mission accomplished.

Pau was bothered by Chuck, but came up big when it mattered most.

Odom - the long slender weed wacker, was amazing 20-20...who was guarding him?

Fisher & Blake - are they still on that team?

Overall, the Lakers look lost when they can't put away a team like the Rockets who just do not have the talent to compete.

If Brooks was healthy then maybe the Rox could squeak into the playoffs, but I would rather they go young and rise in the lottery.

[djohn2oo8]

I don't know how Rockets fans can stomach Brooks..I didn't watch much of this game, but just from watching the last few Rockets games, his shot selection is atrocious..

Brooks didn't get a contract extension and it really messed with his head. That's why he's chucking all the time so he can play his way to one, however, he's gone at the deadline, hopefully for some picks or A pick

Nah, the contract issue is not bugging him, his bad ankle is bothering his balance, he has no lift and his shots are way off as a result.

AB is still the best option at PG on the Rox, when healthy.....Kyle is ok, but he is bottom 3rd as a starter in the league.

AB can be top half, when healthy....neither is all world, but with the Rox margin being so small, we can not afford either of them to be hurt or not right.

Brooks is just not right....did you see where he tweeked it in the game last night on that stop and pop in the 3rd?

I mean those 3pt shots he is taking are not even close....his balance is toast right now...

His ankle does not cause him to force bad shots, example (1 on 3 three pointer)...and his defense is horrible, we need a true point guard. Adelman should play Ish

[yavozerb]

:wow,
Odom= 49 minutes
Gasol= 47 minutes
Bryant= 45 minutes
