I think we are in great shape heading home. Here is why: They shot the lights out in the first half. Yet we had it tied at the half. They made another run and we were right there. We had them pissed. They took some cheap shots but nothing was working. Then they had to get physical and try to hurt us. This tells us that they dont think they can beat us straight up. They have to play physical/dirty to put us away. We are in their heads. If we just play smart and not let them get under our skin with all that trash talk, we can win both games at home.
And also to your earlier post, please don't say that a person "sucks" when actually he is really good. Definition of a NBA player that "sucks" would be a guy who has never acomplished anything. Ron artest is an elite defender, who can score 20 points any given night. That sir is not a sucky basketball player. and also, you live in CHINA, what do you know about Ron Artest, you know NOTHING, most of us live in Houston and we all know that he is a good guy at heart and a fierce competitor. oh and also just a standard rule in America that most learn at kindergarten, who you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
I'm just sickened by the awful job the refs did. Horrible calls all around. Not only were there an abundance of mystery calls (like Artest's throat getting in the way of Kobe's elbow), but way too many no-calls. I'm so proud of my Rox for playing with such CLASS. Ron is the freakin MAN! We have some tough ass guys on our team who play the game the right way; it's a shame the same can't be said about the Fakers who are just out there looking to take cheap shot whenever they can. Kobe's elbow on Ron was pretty bad, but I can let that go b/c its the playoffs (I still don't see how that is a foul on Ron?). What I can't handle that sasha douchebag constantly slapping everybody he guards, and I definitely can't handle fish-face essentially throwing a premeditated punch on Scola - although I can't say I'm too surprised considering he spent time in Utah, where dirty play is their M.O. All I want is for the calls to be fair, is that so much to ask?! BTW, Wafer - whatever you did to get sent to the locker room, you need to man up and make amends with Coach; this is the playoffs and you are a part of this team. We need everyone to work together to pull this off. SUSPEND THE FISH!!!
actually the lady pulled out, he paid her...lol tells u his cleanliness... did you see how cocky he was in the press conference? dude, i respect people in general so im not gonna say your dumb or anything, but look at it yourself, just watch his press conference, look at how he taunted battier, how he kneed him to the ground in game 1. ill admit he's good, **** he's damn good, **** he's the best player probably as a finisher, but as a person...he's cocky, cheap, and doesn't deserve the championship
I agree, it is just frustrating as all hell. We are so much better then the Lakers are its very noticable.
lol you assume i live in china, haha, wrong assumption at first, oh and plz don't start some china vs usa argument, no diss to US, but well, u actually learn in china, US education is GARBAGE(don't even try, everyone in the world knows it)
I believe in this team. I think it shows mental toughness to be able to tie the game at the half after 1st period meltdown. Just some unlucky calls and Bad TOs but apart from that, there is always room for improvement. the key is always our 2 PGs. Brooks and Lowry has to learn fast after this loss.
We have to remember what preceded Fisher's flagrant foul. The Lakers had just been slapped with 2 T's and were talking plenty of trash to Scola. What Fisher did was premeditated from the previous action. He turned toward Scola and decided to take care of him with a very hard foul. Fisher will and should be suspended for game 3. The NBA needs to look at Kobe, he should of gotten a technical for elbowing Shane & he throws another at Artest. His taunting & trash talking is childish.
