This. There are few more dangerous opponents than one that is cornered. Expect them to come out hard against us.
Too many close games recently. Let's for for the blowout! Parsons gets out of his funk and the Rockets light the Lakers up again. Hope they changed their big-boy pants! Go Rockets!
I think Lakers are the worst team when it come to fast break...someone can check on that. Also they're horrible when it comes to guarding pick n roll...because Gasol sucks so bad. He constantly getting exploited in the Playoffs lol. So i am sure we can do the same with guards penetration. They're not good stopping guards from penetration. One reason is because they sucks at rotation or too slow or lack of communications. The only guy on their starters than can keep up with the Rockets is Kobe. Everyone else from Nash, Gasol, Artest and Howard. They're slow to me.
Rockets will fast break the Lakers to death. Worst team at defending the break vs best breaking team in the league.
With their loss to the Nuggets tonight, we can break the Lakers season with a win on Tuesday. We've been giving up a ton of offensive rebounds lately and LA can take advantage of that. Unlike our recent competition, the Lakers are very potent offensively so we can't afford to give them any second chances. I hope we run them off the floor. Gasol is a zero on the defensive end. Jrue Holiday literally ran a circle around him in the paint to score a layup.
Lin doesn't do well against the Lakers. I think he loses his confidence when his shot gets blocked at the rim and Dwight does that to him all the time... Hopefully we get a lot of fastbreak points...

The Rockets might play a little slower to save some energy for that 4 games in 5 nights. Don't expect the Rockets to run lights out for this stretch because of those 4 nights in 5.
Wow, I just read the article on espn with Dwight's quotes about the team chemistry, I didn't know it was that bad...apparently they have to pretend to like each other on the court even if they don't outside of the locker room? That is just sad. And the Jordan hill incident? If anyone of our players go down on the court, you know every one of our guys will be sprinting across the court to help them up. This is why I love our team so much, they get along and play fun team basketball that is leading us to wins.
Lol, I watching them loose to Denver, he couldn't guard Lawson nor Miller. D12 or Kobe had to step in to bail him out. Offensively he is still great though.
"@mcten: Dwight Howard aggravated his right shoulder strain during the game. He'll have an MRI on Monday morning" "@KevinDing: Pau cut the bridge of his nose but should be OK for Tuesday in Houston. Dwight said he'll see what MRI on right shoulder reveals tomorrow." Dwight had 26 rebounds today. Will make a huge difference whether he's in or out.
