ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 12/4/2012

I would hope so since the game is in Houston

 

Games in Houston are always over flowing w/ laker fans...they overtake almost every arena so its normal. For most of the game, laker fans even cheer louder than rocket fans.

 

Makes me sick man.
Was the same way for the Heat game I went to this season.

 

They have a pretty big following all around the country. If you watch any of their road games, you'll notice a huge chunk of LA fans and can even hear em throughout the game. Sadly its just how it is

 

Yea, but some of those Laker fans may be Lin fans. Didn't Feigan say that Lin got the most cheers in LA at any away game?

 

LoL. This is so much like the end of a smurf book where Gargamel cursing the smurfs I know because my five year old is reading this series right now...

 

Yup, and most of them are bandwagon fans.

Disgusting.

 

Wow, I haven't wanted a Rockets victory this much in years.

 

Rockets by 3, Chandler Parsons goes for 35 points, and shuts down kobe

 

Heh, maybe if his shoulder is fully healed!

(I worry for that guy's minutes)

 

Lakers will be dangerous after getting beat by the lowly Magic. Their offense is so bi-polar right now. One game they are blowing a team away and the next game, they have a lot of touble scoring.

 

we need to hack a dwight like the magic did

 

The Rockets will have to play at their very best in order to beat the Lakers tomorrow night. They are fired up as all hell after losing to the Magic and Kobe has been giving his teammates a few pieces of his mind.

On Gasol...

If we can stay close in the first half then I think they will run out of steam and implode in the second.

 

"Hey Pau, I can't believe what assholes Kobe and D'Antoni are to you. Why even try to help these guys. Tank this game and get yourself traded so we can play together. You know you want it, Pau."

 

Mitch Kupchak better not try to punch any of our players

 

I'm also keen to see if Sampson has learned from his rotations.

One mistake he's made on a couple of occasions is leaving the bench in for too long. Usually.. our bench >>> outplaying their bench. We build up a lead of a few points or close the gap, their starters/star player comes back in. Our bench stays in... they go on a run... momentum shifts in their favor.... our starters come back in.

He did this against the Jazz and it could have cost us the victory.

The other problem with our bench in the 4th is the amount of fouls they commit. A combination of Douglas, Morris et all usually have us in the penalty or with three team fouls by the time the starters come back in. Having 7 minutes to go in the 4th quarter without a foul to give is not a good idea.

I hope we see improvements in these two areas from the Rockets tomorrow night.

 

MWP better behave himself. No elbowing, no slapping, no punching and whatever he has in his arsenal.

 

We just need to run and never stop. None of them can keep up.

 

seems like everybody is getting a turn on the lakers except us. Time to bend them over kobe style.

good day.

 

I'd say Raptors and Warriors over Lakers. And when he plays in NY, Knicks. These cities have a lot of asian fans.
