Rockets @ Lakers

[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.

LOL wow Manu shook the 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.

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

Don't know who will be in the draft, but:

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
