Game 1: Lakers vs Rockets

[resistanze]

Kobe looks like he's only half-interested in this game. Very lackadaisical until that last shot.

Must be the sore throat.

[YellowFever]

[sook]

[Banzai]

He's pretty sick man..

[it's me]

the rapist is actually hateable

[TheProfessor]

Lakers shooting under 40%, but only down by three.

[davi78239]

so this so called "ugly game".......I guess this is how people felt about the Spurs back when we were good right? Slow, grind it out defensive games....

[Spursfan092120]

I ing hate Ron Artest..

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Down 3 after a TY half? I'll take it.

yes, Lakers are in a comfortable position. Rockets better watch out.

[BUMP]

it sucks cause i really want Houston to win but i know how Kobe goes and he is just toying with them. Lakers will win like 99-94 or something like that

[scanry]

Lakers played like utter garbage and yet they are only down 3..

[Cry Havoc]

Artest scares me a bit. He seems to have the Mike Tyson "I'm about 2 seconds and a small brainfark away from literally ripping this announcers throat out and eating it and then attempting to fornicate with every woman in the crowd" syndrome.

[Bob Lanier]

Good game.

[DAF86]

this is the type of Game i have stressed between these 2 teams. Fortunately the lakers are shooting pure azz right now

Give the Rockets a lot of credit, they've always a hand in the face of the shooter, is no coincidence that most games teams shoot awful against them.

Someone tell me who started the mo-hawk trend...big baby has one..Ron has one..Wafer has one..Amare has one...damn crazy..

It's different because there's no flow. Both teams are making mistakes and poor execution.
I like Houston's defense from the last series, but this game is just weird so far.

[Killakobe81]

Great 1st half Rox I knew you would come out tough great defense so far but Lakers playing sloppy right now ...but n excuses so far you have outplayed lets see if you can keep it up ...(that's what she said)

Bumpy...they're making you STILL be a Nuggets fan?

[Cry Havoc]

He's pretty sick man..

Kobe wants to be the best? Remind me what the GoaT did with stomach flu and a 102 degree fever?

Never mind I found it for you:

2nd half predictions.....

Rockets start missing some shots.
Kobe gets hot.
Lakers roll.

Houston didn't really shoot that great...42% and only 3-10 from distance. There defense is the reason why the score is what it is. I think if they keep doing what they are doing the game will stay close. The deciding factor will be can the execute down the stretch.
