I guess that's why you're a rookie. Yao got into early foul trouble. He should be ok the next game. Anyone who can stop Dwight can beat any other center.
THE Rockets were very resilient in the play tonite expect for a bunch of carelesss turnovers. They fought hard and played through alll the bullsh*it dirty as* things teh FAKERS did tonite, SHowed all the ppl how low they really are character wise. This game was very winnable. I know its not gonna happen, but that coldblooded gifted mafu*ka KOBE should get suspened for that elbow thrown at RON RON..that was soo visble..ATLEAST throw a fine his wayy. ROn ROn should have kept his cool, and WAFER should have not yapped off soo much..we need these guys to win. ALL IN ALL..i see the ROCKETS comeing out strong and fightin hard to get 2 wins in houston. THIS series just got really interesting. FISHER should be suspend.....also fuc* kobe-for bein really good,wit no class and sportmanship fuc* derk fisher- for bein a bit*h fuc lamar odom- for bein sooo sorry..and then talkin sh*it fuc* vuccheck- WHO is this guy?!?!..the selfproclaimed "MACHINE" get the fuc* outta LA wit that junk!..hahah gnite guys
Shane > Kobe character wise. Kobe is just some little kid crying for his candy and if he can't get it he'll cry more.
i think that offensive call on lowry killed our momentum. i'm not upset at this defeat at all. it's just strange that the refs are trying to take the center stage of this game. i'm not saying they are biased, just that they shouldn't make themselves so conspicuous. they are here to faciliate, not to obstruct the game flow.
Here is the problem. Pau Gasol is a finesse player, who gets outplayed by tough nosed PFs. See Leon Powe and Kendrick Perkins in last years finals. See Carl Landry and Chuck Hayes tonight. You aren't going to beat Pau with another finesse player in Yao. We lost the game as soon as Yao was back in the game after half time.
@#$#$%%!!^&^# F these ref, and F the entire Fakers team. They must NOT allow to get the championship, especially NOT from the doorstep of Texas. Battier: it's time for you to use some Bruce Bowenish hard foul. No more giving up girly 3-pt play. If contact is necessary, make sure it is sufficient Yao: you need to start sending messages with your elbows. Today is a start, but the message somehow went to Lowry. Practice aiming with Deke before the next game. Artest: we love you lol, please try to stay in the game
A few thoughts... i miss bill worell and the bull, these tnt guys are ridiculous, are you freakin kidding me fisher's cheap ass shot is "toughness"?!?!!?!??!? I love this team and i love the true toughness we actually have. Artest does not take sh** and we just gotta limit the turnovers and play more efficient and we will be fine. Hopefully that boy von straightens things out. I cannot wait until friday when the TC will be 10 times louder than the weak staples. Eff you fisher..eff you bryant..eff you lakers. BELIEVE IN THIS TEAM!
Wow! How can you just blame Brooks. We lost because of a lot of factors but Brooks had more effort than Yao tonight. I don't know if it was because he was tired, but he was having big trouble tonight. How can you just blame Brooks
I know Von got sent off but I can see why he might have been upset.. we were drowning in the 3rd and Adelman stuck with Scola way too long, letting him jaw with the Lakers and his game suffering for it. At some point, he should've stuck Landry (who was having a great game) in to stop the bleeding and maybe Von for Battier to speed up the offense. Yao wasn't doing anything to beat the fronting and they needed to adjust; I think Adelman waiting too long and with the way things were playing out, I would've been upset too.
Would you kindly never come back here? I've never b****ed about the refs before, but this is an exception - the fourth quarter turned into Rockets charge into paint, Lakers hack away at them, no call. Rinse and repeat. I haven't been this pissed in a long time. Toyota Center needs to be loud as hell.
I agree with your point but not with tonight's game. We had too many turn overs, but many of those turn overs were created by fouls that weren't called fairly. I had my hope up at the half, but the ref took over for rewarding dirty plays in the 2nd half. But I would give credit to the refs for making a huge correct call on Fisher's foul. The Lakers are good, but they are actually dirtier than you thought.
As long as Crawford doesn't officiate, we will be fine and can win. Unless Artest and Wafer don't play. We should be fine, Fisher should be suspended for sure.
I have never realized how dirty and arrogant this Laker team is. Odom trash talking to Scola, Vujabitch being himself, Fisher's aggression on Scola, Kobe's elbow and dirty talking to Battier... Just pisses me off. I think today the Chinese fans will definitely change their point of view on Kobe. He is very popular in China but after this game, most Chinese fans will turn their favor to Lebron. Lebron is so much more of a classy and noble person than Kobe. He is the real MVP. Great sport figures should inspire the youth. I dont think Kobe and the Lakers team are good examples for youth by encouraging dirty and backstabbing behaviour.
