Fogging heck, that sly bas-turd D'Antoni! He and his cheap tactics to exploit HOU coaching staff's weaknesses shall not go unnoticed! I expect to see some Mook at the 5 tomorrow. It's going to be hilarious watching Ouglas guard Kobe.
Personally, I'd prefer they play...especially DH and Pau. Both have been playing very average or below average most of the season especially Pau.
Exactly - who is going to stand out there and shoot 3s without Pau around? Hopefully supercoach D'Antoni can find someone else who can't shoot at all to replace him.
We should use our depth at the forward positions to wear them down. I'm looking forward to this. With no real big man available and Antoni coaching, they might try to run and play smallball with Jamison at the center. That plays right into our playstyle.
Lakers will play dirty after the Rockets build a lead in the first half. I expect at least one tech from Artest on Harden. Remember the elbow? There is still bad blood between these two so I think Harden will go for 50 this game. Yes I said it,50!
I'm gonna be honest. We probably would have a real good shot beating them with everyone healthy. Lakers are not a fast pace team and we will make our points on them in transition. Oddly, I think this is the first time I've said this about a Rockets/Lakers game. Still, should be a good close game.
2Pat better get at least one rebound for every two minutes he plays tomorrow night, that's all I'm going to say.
