ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 5/4/2009 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

Artest: I did not call glass. I will not lie.

 

Gasoft starting fronting him later. I don't get why international centers like Gasoft and Okur are so good at defending Yao.

 

Broosk ain't in this game and Yao is playing softttttttttttttttttttttt!


Yao should have 20 points but he isn't being agressive

 

kobe is gonna go off in the 2nd half....i know it.

 

if yao can take advantage of his good looks, we're in good shape.

also, we have to start taking kobe out of the game; the lakers without him look soft.

 

It seems like the announcer are always speaking from the opposing teams point of view no matter who we play. . . Lakers, Blazers, Suns...

 

We can't let Kobe heat up in the second half.

Gotta stay on D and hopefully Yao gets some better shots.

 

Seriously, Yao should stop his turn around jumpers. He is overpowered and referees wont give him calls.

 

outstanding job by battier on kobe. wish he could score a few more points though.

 

A good half played by the Rockets. Would have liked to see them not dribble so much at times giving the Lakers a chance to D up on them pretty well. We just have to keep our level of play up and for the love of God...don't fade in the 4th!

 

game link anyone please?

 

Man what game are you watching. Go to chicago and kiss mcgrady goodnight.

 

I wouldn't say that. Yao has been average at best. Missing easy shots.

Lakers D has been very good however.

 

this is the game the lakers will do bad offensively in b/c they've been off for 7 days. we MUST take this game if we have a chance in this series.

i expect yao to play better though. he faced too many single coverages to not do better.

wafer/shane and others gotta step up. we need shane to be some type of force offensively

 

Scola, Wafer, and Brooks needs to step it up even more hell the whole team needs to turn it up!

 

Brooks' FT% in the playoff is so bad...

Good FT shooter but needs to be more consistent.

 

They are going to come out guns blazing.

We have to continue to dictate the pace of the game.

Scola, we need big shots.

 

Omg kobes going to go crazy in the second half.

 

Yao needs to take advantage with his strength over Bynum and Gasol. Yao's stronger than both of them by a LOT.

Too bad he's in foul trouble. Yao needs to be more aggressive. Kobe got hot in the end, not good.

 

Lakers is a ****ing dirty team.
