ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/16/2008

is gasol playing in this one?

 

Gasol injured, will miss at least three games for Lakers

 

Rockets will pull this game out with or without gasol..

I just have a feeling.

But it'll be another close game..

and 4th quarter shootout between T-mac and Kobe

T-mac 45 pts, 10 rbs, 8 asts
Kobe 40 pts, 5 asts

 

even god is in our side

 

no he's out for the whole lakers Road Trip

 

Allen (Boston) probably won't play wither

 

F*** that basketball god BS. Basketball gods would show better sportsmanship than that. I know you guys are joking, but I just don't like this.

I want Gasol to play this Sunday, and I want us to beat their asses into oblivion in spite of it.

Everyone talks about how certain guys have gone out for some of our big games... no one talks about the fact that Yao and Landry have gone out. (And no, I'm not talking about us here at CF). K... just gotta calm myself down, haha. Just need to remind myself that none of the talk by "experts" or fans means anything.

 

Given the circumstances, it is a much stronger possibility that Kobe outscores McGrady. Hopefully, he'll have to take 40 shots to get his 40 though. I'd bet on us to win if he does.

 

One thing worries me is that the last two games the offense is not so good. we had to rely on Tmac so much. 48 minutes against NO I can understand, against Bobcats? I hope Tmac can catch his breath today, because it looks like another 48 minute for him on Sunday, against Kobe!

The role players really need to step up on offense. Not that I doubt their hearts, it's just no other way around. If we win, I bet Tmac will have 9+ assists and less than 20 shots.

 

22

We about to shut a lot of people up.

 

We don't want T Mac in a shootout with Kobe. That's exactly what the Lakers will want. We want T Mac getting his points in the flow of the offense. That's team ball. That's winning chemistry. Individual ego destroys team chemistry. And I think T Mac, unlike Kobe, understands that.

 

Thats what crossed my mind at first, but when I really think about it, its good news. Rox job in the season is to get the highest seed not to impress the media. Any win we can get now can be the determine if we move on to the next round ,cus of home court.

 

This is a 2 game swing. The winner of this game virtually gets a 2 game lead on the other. IF we win this game, we have a great shot at finishing ahead of the Lakers in the standing. The Lakers will have to win 2 more games than us in the last 16 games and that's not going to be easy, especially if Gasol is out for a few games

 

if we beat the lakers then the heading for boston's game is gonna be best of west vs best of east

 

StreamROLL the Lakers for #22!!!

 

quoted for truth....but what I have noticed is that the offense has gone to **** since the dallas game...that was when tracy started to get hot in NO against the hornets and since then the offense has been throw the ball into mcgrady and everybody get out of the way...rafer hasnt been driving the ball as much since then... scola hasnt been as active, battman has cooled off and laundry has been out...I hope this is just a little funk because I loved the offensive flow that we had the first 5 games YAo was out... we really havent been the same since DAllas
Im I the only one thats noticed this?? or Im I crazy??

 

you would also see the offensive decline has occurred since landry has been sidelined with the injury. it's not a coincidence.

 

Our best front court finisher has not been playing since Dallas. Everybody else has been getting the ball and missing.

 

MAKE IT HAPPEN
