See, crap like this is why I hate Phil Jackson. He's just such a classless human being. He just can't say "Houston played defense well". I can't remember the last time he took the high road and complimented his opponent. What a jerk.
Well from what the Zen Master said, they look like they will be really focused. I could say it could be a blowout, I hope not though. This team has been resilient in these playoffs, I hope it will continue.
Well the Rockets need to hurry up and beat them so he can spend the summer getting that knee healthy.
Lakers got no class. They just can't accept that they missed shots because of our defense. In fact its good to see them still clueless about how they lost. Let's kick their ass again on Game 2!
No one can. Everybody was blaming the long lay off rather than saying the Rockets are playing good defense. We had four days of rest as well, enough time to throw the Rockets off rhythm yet no player is complaining.
This is probably more mind games Phil Jackson is trying to play, but at least we know that Kobe and his sore throat wasn't a joke and that was pretty real since he missed a lot of his pre-game rituals. But as somebody said, Yao's knee is probably looking much worse than Bynum's. Bynum is a good player, but he's not in Yao's level yet. Yao is probably a Top 5 player in the league at this point. Bynum is not a Top 5 center in the league just yet.
Like I said in another thread, Bynum and everyone in Lakers world is still hoping that he can show Yao Ming his offensive moves, instead of focusing on stopping Yao and denying Yao the ball. That's exactly our chance. When they can't shut down Yao, Yao will start the punch, and everyone will be in turn to punch them hard.
haha, awesome! The Rockets will just have to do that, for the sake of Bynum... we just feel for the poor guy, so we have to go 4-0 for him!
I love it, they are still not giving the Rockets any respect, it was all their own fault. This bodes VERY well for game 2. DD
If you can't play 100% during the playoffs on a knee that is 90%, you need to check yourself. IT'S THE PLAYOFFS. Step up or sit down. Bynum can do well against the field, but against the best he still has awhile to go. And I don't care if Phil gives us credit or not. Who cares? He's going to say whatever he needs to say to get his team motivated.
I am trying to figure out how in the world anyone evaluates these numbers... How exactly do you tell if a guy is 85%, 90%, 94% or 78%? Are there actual tests to be conducted or do they just throw out random numbers.
