Haha, I will agree with you if we have healthy tmac & deke. Battier & Artest will be good to some star SF like James & Anthony. Kobe is not good fit for them. Hope adelman still has some secret weaspon except deke... Maybe cook is the x-factor.
i love dreams, don't you. Even in my dreams i see artest holding kobe scoreless, but when i wake up to reality, i hear kobe saying to artest, "I spanked that ass". one player u do not get mad is kobe byrant. as for yao dominating his laker defenders its not gonna happen. Yao will get his points but they too are gonna double and front him. mostly have kobe double and make battier hit threes kinda like they did with utah and have brewer make jumpshots. for pg u can make a case for either team. well i am off to dream the rockets beating the lakers. cheerio.
Id take any team in the West if i were Lakers, too bad relatively houston and portland are the only teams that will give them trouble
I think we can put a scare in them, but they are more talented than us, that's the truth and You can not deny the truth
Von Wafer will make Kobe work, so that Kobe will fade? LOL! LOL! LOL! Let's keep our aspirations within reaching distance of some sort of reality. Kobe doesn't fade in the fourth, and he certainly won't start fading because VON WAFER is making him work.
Bring on the L.A Fakers! Remember the story of David and Goliath? Well the Rockets are david and will own Goliath lol..
Rockets solved Portland for Lakers, Lakers solved UATH for Rockets. We are evenlly mach Lakers well,if we play with team work we have a chance. Go, Rockets!
i think the Nuggets and Mavs are hotter than the Lakers right now, so my gut tells me that the Lakers are probably a better matchup for us... lets see how each of the teams respond in the 2nd round.
Where has all the optimism gone ? I know the Lakers are good, will probably get all the calls, have more size and give us fits but getting swept 4-0 during the reg season doesn't mean ANYTHING !! The playoffs is a different ballgame and you just have to take it one game at a time. We do not know how the Rockets will respond to being BACKED INTO A CORNER by the media, experts, lakers fans and now even Rockets fans. The cowards will back down and get swept 4-0 The warriors will come out swinging (Rudy T quote with a Artest twist ) First, let's take care of the Blazers and then we just have to wait and see Let's hope the Rockets will respond with fierceness, resilience, heart and not let the refs decide the game..... they have to take it upon themselves so maybe Artest will finally turn into the BEAST we need him to be.
half the people in this thread are pathetic...i mean seriously if were gonna be destroyed by the lakers why the hell do you even watch, call yourself realists, call yourself whatever you want just dont call yourself a rockets fan
I know the Lakers swept us in the regular season, but the playoffs are totally different from the regular season. maybe it's hard for us to beat the Lakers, but it's possible.
i recall every single one of the four losses in the regular season a close game. correct me if im wrong. i think these will be hard fought games against the lakers, so we will need everyone to contribute. if they do, i think we honestly have a shot to shock the world.
let's face the truth... we are still one game away from 2nd round, focus on blazers and forget about LA
yeah u just reminded me.. if u guys take the blazers out i`ll thank u really cuz u took a team that has been a nightmare to us
