who knows.
I think they win a close game b/c crowd is gonna be fired up, but it will also depend on Odom, Brown, Vujacic, Fisher (who has been a no show the in all 4 games). For the Rockets, it's going to take everything they've got to steal one on the road without Yao. Like Artest not jackin up 19 shots when his shot is off. I know Phil is gonna come up with a plan to stop Brooks, but might be dangerous if Scola is on his game, and Battier miraculously has another 23 point game. I still say Lakers in 6, but it could be 7.
who knows.
This is going 7 games.
Phil should have started Farmar or Brown and had Fisher come off the bench after Game 2. Fisher is useless against Brooks, he moves like a enegizer bunny and the best thing fisher can do is get torched. I wouldn't expect Artest to suck this bad again.
Lakers will fold like a $5 lawnchair...Rockets in 6.
agreed..don't forget Deron Williams,Tony Parker and all the other quick pgs in the league.
What's Odom's status?
meh
I hope we can win the next game, but there is no way in we win this series. If we do win this series, Yao was Denver's biggest weakness, and they would murder us
How have the Lakers responded all season? That's your answer.
I wouldn't think there is anymore pressure on the Lakers than there was to start this series. The Lakers have HCA again and need to win 2-3 games, 2 of which are at home.
The pressure is on the Lakers b/c Rockets don't have Yao
if brooks goes for 40 they have a shot
+1 Everyone expected the Lakers to win easily today...didn't turn out that way, did it??? Game 5 will tell all.
true..just like game 5 against Utah last year.
They won by 12 and Brooks had 34.
So Brooks can score 24 and Houston could still win.
Great math douchypop.
The pressure is on any team that wants to win a championship moron.
Unless you think the Rockets are content to have just gotten out of the 1st round. They aren't playing like they are that's for sure.
if bynum goes for 4 pts, the lakers have a shot.
You can't expect a team with $35M in suits on the bench to get the championship.
Besides, by Houston standards, indeed, they can loose the next two and be content of what they showed badly shorthanded.
Lakers did what they had to. That was winning one in houston and taking HCA. but as a plus, we got handed a gift by Yao being out of the playoffs and it seem like we didn't liked it so we return it. Now it should get interested. Could've gone up 3-1 but no, for some reason we like to play with fire and let them tied the series. geez,
Are you ing re ed? Didn't you start a thread saying that the Lakers are done? Why the are you defending them now?
And if you follow the Lakers history, you should know that they always follow up a bad performance with a good one...and they're playing at home = Lakers victory Game 5.
More like $40 MM in suits but yeah good point.
I don't think the Lakers (Kobe) feels any pressure he has been there before.
Fold like a house of cards!
