    Honestly, as long as we play above average defense we should win... If we play poor defense the entire game then this will be a close game.

    Lin made some big mistakes in the playoffs but let's not kid ourselves, Harden was the #1 reason we lost the Blazers series. Harden is the one person who underperformed for 5 of the 6 games. Dwight, on the other hand, performed like a superstar and put the team on his back.

    LOL at the LOF getting his facts out his ass

    and blaming Harden even for the games we won

    In the games Rockets lost,

    Harden averaged 26.75 pts which is more than his season avg 25.4 pts
    Mathews averaged 14.5 pts which is less than his season avg of 16.5 pts

    I say not only offensively (even if he was being double and triple teamed at times) but also defensively (even if he was to carry majority of the offensive load and focus) Harden stepped it up

    In game 6, the game that lost the series for the Rockets, Harden played a near perfect game:

    FG: 9/15 60%
    3FG: 4/6 67%
    FT: 12/12
    6 assists 4 steals
    34 points on 15 shots

    Mathews on the other hand,

    FG: 4/13 30%
    3FG: 2/8 25%
    FT: 2/4
    0 assists 1 steal
    12 points on 13 shots

    Byron Scott doesn't believe in 3-pointers. I read they made only 5 three-pointers all preseason.

    If they play like that tomorrow, they will be demolished.

    Yep

    And J-Lin still plays a classically DMorey offensive game. All threes and drives to the hoop.

    We all know they will employ Hack-A-Howard once they get down big.

    They attempted 82 and made 25... in 8 games. So 3 makes in 10 attempts per game. The Rockets pass those number in the first quarter lolol.

    If the Lakers are handicapping themselves to no threes, then they are going to be the worst team in the league. And Scott is going to be fired fast. Three pointers are too important in this game.

    There is no single reason to play our starter against the Lakers "with exception of T.J since he perform well against homeless

    Lakers might try to injure D12 or Harden out of desperation.

    $1.92 over here for the Rockets -6

    I think I need to jump all over that.

    And $2.38 at 11+

    Yikes. This could be some easy money.

    That's an odd strategy I must admit.

    Why so serious when another fan from another team come here. Noise talking isn't allowed on a sports forum anymore? Talk some smack back to the Fakers fan. Dude knows his team is doomed before it even started.

    Rockets 114
    Lakers 91

    Nothing to worry about. Rockets are playing against a depleted and 10 Rotation team. Something is seriously wrong if the rockets can't beat up a beat up and injured team with alot of their key players such as Young and Henry. Rockets should win. Its a no brainer.:rolleyes:

    Sitting here feeling pretty good...all the negativity of the offseason is melting away, because Rockets basketball is back.
