    I hope Parsons drops 50 on them.

    What Lin did well from Linsanity highlights that I've seen, he can split the defender that shows hard.

    What Harden didn't do well against OKC was allowing the help defender show and pressure him enough to get doubled. You have to split the show defender instantly. Harden and Lin has the ability to do this. We win 121-95.

    Lin did recently split the defense in the Raptors game, and ended up scoring in the paint over Valanciunas.

    Even if there was actually a seam for Harden to do this in the OKC game -- easier said than done -- there was still Ibaka as the last line of defense. Ibaka blocked Harden multiple times. Different personnel, different options.

    You can't Hack-a-Ho' inside of 2:00 unless the Ho' has the ball, but other than that you can still Hack-a-Ho'.

    It's like Kobe Bryant says: "Please don't make us chase your young guys around on defense. We are old, tired, and apathetic. Just hand it to Harden and let MWP do all the work on defense while the rest of us conserve our energy like last time."

    I liked TJ's previous dunk quite a bit, but I'm really hoping for a ChandlerBang dunk in Kobe's grill this time - or an Omer crossover+dunk of DH12. That's it. Oh, and a 30+ point victory.

    A Ppat elbow to RonRon's mug? No no no. We must not stoop to their level.

    Jason Friedman ‏@JasonCFriedman

    Within that piece: Kobe leading NBA in points scored via PnR (2 ahead of Harden); using PnR ~28% of possessions this yr;up from ~12% last yr

    Whatever happens, don't let harden guard Kobe. Chandler Bang needs to conserve all his energy on defense this game-hopefully Lin and Harden will pick up the offensive slack.

    Not sure why Im so excited for this game, but I am. Rockets already got revenge with Utah, time to do the same with the Lakers.

    With all the current drama, injuries, new coach etc. the Rockets need to pounce on the Lakers and stick a fork in them while they're still half dead. :eek:
    Use all 30 fouls from Greg, Cole, D-Mo, Cook and Terrence to foul the crap outta Hack-a-Dwight and have him gift us the game from the free throw line.

    Let's go Rockets :p

    I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of people are rooting for the Rockets.

    People love an underdog team... and being the youngest team, most inexperienced roster, with the least play time together, we fit that to a T.

    Not to mention, there's no shortage of folks that Hate the Lakers and/or some of their players (Kobe/Dwight/MWP/insert player here) and just want to see them eat a few more losses.

    :grin:
