ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 5/6/2009 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

auto ban..

 

Going to be a tough one. Gotta rebound better, and no more lazy turn overs.

Just play as hard as you can, all I can ask for.

 

the thing that's killing me is that i still think the nba is rigged and controlled by the referees. even if were up 20 tom. the refs will find a way to make the lakers win. the refs love the lakers. they're the favorites to win the championship and David stern will do everything in his power to make that happen.

 

How many people truly think that we are gonna win game 2?

I do.

ok, if you do not, think about game 1, how many thought we were gonna win it?

the only thing Im worrying it the refs - it's so likely that they will help to get Yao out of the court and let the Lakers win game2...

 

dude, you really don't need to quote all the vids

 

Time for Von to shine!

 

people who think we can't play better in game 1, like the media and evidently the lakers, need to look at the game closer.

we got outrebounded, continuously turned the ball over and didn't shoot much better than them from 3. all that, on the road, and we still won.

if the lakers think just because they'll step their game up that they'll handle us, they are going to have another thing coming. we haven't played our best ball yet by a longshot.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Houston Rockets !!!

 

Lakers will take this game. Refs(a.k.a. Stern) will make sure of that.

 

The Rockets Know that this game will be much harder. They Will be ready to play. They are Just getting better and better. Go Rockets!

 

lakers gonna start out the game like bunch of dirty hungry dogs, but I hope we can finish their asses off like hungry tigers

 

Don't expect the same game as the 1st one. Prepare for the most tough game on the way to win the whole series.
We CAN WIN and we WILL WIN this.

 

Don't expect anyone's shining could bring a win. We should still fight as a TEAM to get it.

 

No more useless words,just hope that Rox keep rolling!

2-0 Rockets win!!

That's my only worry - the refs. I just hope they remember that the world is watching them - not just Houston.

What I don't get is the media experts saying that the Rockets won because the Lakers had a poor game 1. Then we've Kobe talking as if that was just a blip of no consequence. No credit to how the Rockets played?

I know game 2 will be tough - heck, every game will be tough, so what's new? I'm just looking forward to the same warrior attitude from the Rockets and whatever the final result may be tomorrow, we still have home-court advantage.

Still, I'd love for our guys to drive the stake into their hearts and take this game as well. Somehow, I think that they've gotten used to our 4th quarter collapse and were expecting Kobe to step up in the end as he had done more often than not. That, to me, works against the Lakers.

I loved how coach played Brooks and Lowry together in the 4th which caused confusion among their players. And with Yao now willing to shoot from 20 feet, that just adds up to a lot of problems for the Lakers. (Just before game 6 of round 1, a CCTV reporter based in LA said that she witnessed Yao practising those 20-footers a lot and having a high success rate.)

The Rockets have weapons they didn't use until this match-up. And having seen how game 1 went, we also had some weapons not firing. So really, the win wasn't a fluke and we can expect more of the same again and again in this series.

Nobody is guaranteed a win. The Lakers will realise this after game 2 if the refs call it evenly. For me, I'm just looking forward to another great game.

 

Sorry. It should be "a CCTV reporter based in Houston".

 

1st game, L.A was arrogant; the 2nd, we will make them crazy...
GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Stay thirsty my friends.
