A warrior has been born.![]()
Tracy, did you watch last night???? That's how you MAN UP!!!
They need to cap off that second video with him hitting the jump-shot, or when he spins and gets fouled.
wtf? He barely bumped his knee and came back. Big deal![]()
Rockets need to get rid of TMac. They are so much better without him.
yes they should trade himto us for bonner/mason/udoka
Exactly, stop with the manufactured drama, Sore throats and bumped knees![]()
Yao is playing differently, he is being aggresive. He had 4-5 dunks in that game alone. More than Bynum. He is a warrior a nd i am proud to have him play for us.
Yao played great. But he will tire out in this series, I can guarantee that. Phil will adjust to start attacking him more and throwing more double teams at him throughout the game to keep him out of rhythm.
One thing that has to concern Rocket fans is that the Lakers played arguably their worst playoff game thus far and they barely squeaked one out (and this is with them getting ALL of the calls down the stretch to go their way). If/when LAL wakes up they should be able to dismantle HOU with relative ease. The Rockets are a good team, but they aren't a great team. And over the course of a 7 game series things will start to even out as the teams become more familiar with one another.
I agree with you completely, the lakers played as bad as they possible could. But so did the rockets, and they had way too many TOs, hopefully they can take care of the ball better.
If you weren't a Lakers fan this might make some sense. But Houston came into town and really schooled your Fakers. It may have gotten close the last minute and a half but they pretty much dominated the Fakers the whole game. Losing game 1 at home? Hmmmm...
The Lakers didn't just play bad, they played like dog . I've never seen them play that poor collectively.
You have to remember a week off of not playing basketball is like a month to these guys. This game was the one I was most worried about due to rust and not being ready for what HOU was going to bring to the table.
The difference between LAL and POR is that the Lakers can win on the road and more importantly they can win in the Toyota Center.
Hah, that T-MAc video was awesome possum.
Props to the Rockets for yesterday. They went out there and played better than LA.
This is coming from the same person who was whining about bad calls in another thread right after the game. Ironic much?
Yao may play soft at time but he earned my respect for life after last night heroic come back
You fail to mention that the Rockets did not play a perfect game, by all means.
The Lakers won despite winning in all major categories: rebounds, turnovers, fast break points, etc.
Rockets had 7/8 turnovers in the 4th quarter alone.
We sneaked it out, yes, but we (as well) can play much better.
The Rockets didn't just eke this one out, they pretty much controlled the game from the 2nd quarter on. The Lakers made some runs, but the Rockets never lost their composure and held a solid 5 to 10-point lead almost the entire 2nd half. That's great defense for you.
Don't you hate Yao?
fairweather![]()
It seems like he hasn't been good at all this year or the year before, I think we should trade him for someone young and talented.
Is it me or is Yao growing a pair lately. I swear he's even talking black in his interviews with a Chinese accent. I think Artest is rubbing off on him.
