Houston Rockets @ LA Lakers - Round 2

[robbie380]

not sure who i hate more....laker fan or dallas fan.

both come from mega bag cities but lakers fan hasn't won with kobe as the lead guy and they act like he is jordan. maybe we can get a polesmoker laker fan to start a thread asking if kobe is better than jordan since he hasn't done comparable to jordan.

seriously laker fan you are relying on this guy



and this guy






for s sake....even if you win with team what do you have to be proud of?

I ing hate the Lakers, but Rox in 6???

Lakers better not come out with the pansy effort from the bench... This isn't Utah anymore.
And honestly, Houston doesn't have anything to lose. Let's hope they don't just get relaxed now that they moved out of the first round and make this a great series...

I am going to have to agree with you on this one. If the Lakers build big leads in this series and lose them like they've been doing, it WILL bite them in the ass that's if they build big leads. If Lakers play 4 periods not 3, this series is clinched.

[pauls931]

Hopefully the series will be interesting, but the damn lakers are so loaded, I'm not sure how they can afford that squad.

[samikeyp]

Kobe in 3.

[lefty]

There won't be any sweep you y Laker Ho's.

This game will be won by defense like every other Championship. Lakers better offensive pace while Rockets better defensive pace.

Offensive ratings: Lakers 110.7 Rockets 105.2
Defensive ratings: Lakers 88 Rockets 98.6

Defense wins Championships

True.

But Artest gave Kobe extra motivation with his comparison to Roy.

That was stupid.

Bye bye Rockets

[Cry Havoc]

If the Lakers decide they don't want to win a couple of games like they did against Utah, they could get in trouble. They had better play a better set of games than they did in the first round.

[crc21209]

For some reason I think Kobe isnt what he was last yr...he wasnt as "on" in the Utah series except for Game 4 in Utah. I think Battier and Artest have the potential to shut him down...and the Lakers will suffer.

[Artest93]

If Kobe can replicate his Finals performance than the Rockets should win

[KSeal]

9-17 shooting with 9 assists
8-17 shooting with 8 assists
horrible game three
16-24 shooting 38 points
10-21 shooting

He was clearly just chilling and trying to get his teammates involved and the one game he chose to take over he did just that and completely dominated. I think he'll be just fine.

Lakes don't play consistent defense and are way overconfident, bynum and pau are soft as a baby's butt, Brooks will blow by fisher like he's stuck in mud, Lowry will barrel thru the lakes trasparent defense straight to the cup for And1s, Scola will dazzle with his crafty post moves and deadly jumper, Yao will dominate and foul out their bigs, and Battier and Artest will force kobe into low percentage shots and limit him in some games and SHUT him down in others, wafer will light up the lakes second unit like a mother er, Landry will be a monster on the boards. This will be a great series. Rox win series.

I'm behind you Roxsfan. Not only because I'm a Spurs fan and because I hate the Lakers...but growing up for some reason I always liked and respected the Rocket teams of the 90's (even when they did beat the Spurs). That and Houston is my 2nd favorite TX team...I could never root for the Mavs. So come on Rockets...beat the outta the Lakers! I'm a Rockets fan for this one!

I've never heard a more biased homer bull rant than this.

[UrAphag]

Rockets primary goal was to get out of the first round. Now that they have accomplished that, they will go back to their ty play again.



and LOL @ artest shutting down kobe. He's done a great job so far.

at your post count. When did you just get here troll?

[Artest93]

LMAO @ all the Fakers fans mancrushes on Kobe when it was Kobe who had Shaq and the gang traded in the first place

LMAO @ you changing the subject because you can't back up your team cause you know they're going to get their asses kicked.

I've never heard a more biased homer bull rant than this.

seems like the fans are as overconfident as the players and btw, you would know a thing or 2 about bias and homerism as you expect to toy with the rox like they're a H.S. team. You got a new wave of hurt coming in the form of complete and balanced team offense and team defense while you sit back and hope Kobe can bail you out.

[DrHouse]

So the Rockets had 4 chances to beat the Lakers this season. You want to know how they fared?

0-4

But please let's ignore that meaningless regular season statistic.

The Rockets don't have the offense to keep up with the Lakeshow. They don't have the defense to shut them down either, and with Dikembe out they have nobody with any real size other than Yao Ming.

The same moronic 1st grade analysis that I read here when the Lakers faced the Jazz appears to be rearing its head once again. Spur fan just stop trying to look rational in your posts, just say what you really want to say....
