ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 5/8/2009 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

any more justtin tv links? thanks. all previous one died.

 

Brooks and Artest dribbling way too much without doing anything

Lowry just penetrating without knowing where he's going

backcourt is playing terrible and turning it over too much

 

man ur life must be so bad

 

Brooks is an idiot!!! I'd rather have Eddie House to run the point, at least he can shoot!

 

artest has got to stop trying to be a point guard. what the hell is he doing trying to lead a fast break? man, i hate this crap. you'd just wish him and brooks would play smart because we can be so effective if they do.

 

Lowry did poor on 2 possesions, drove into crowd instead of slow down a bit.

 

lmao avery johnson: the great wall of china shake

 

and he can move without the ball. AB can't even move without the ball. Eddie House is so good at using screens, Aaron sucks at it.

 

seriously. we need like the idiot version of the game thread and then the actual good posters version of the game thread.

 

What he say?

 

Yao is a statue...the pass has to be perfect everytime or it's a turnover

 

Lakers cant do nothing in half-court offense and we should keep down the pace that's what we're able to control.

Yao looks tired already which is not a good sign at all. Give him more rest coach! I am a bit panic NOW..We've got to get this one.

 

will you guys... calm yourselves

turnovers are hurting the rockets bad. otherwise they'd be up 8

they're outplaying LA, playing better D and getting whistles

 

If the rox cut the to's and keep attcking, they will be alright.

 

Too many turn overs. And need to rest Yao Ming at the beginning of 3rd quarter.

 

This is a wise observation!

 

ok... here is what I see. Lakers are playing the passing lane. They are anticipating and over playing the passing lane. The jump shots are available. When teams play the passing lanes, defenders plant their feet and would rarely challenge the jump shot. Make those jump shots to loosen up those passing lanes. Turnovers will only happen until they force the Lakers to loosen up on those lanes.

 

Lakers figured brooks out. He can't finish around the basket. He's too short and anyone can contest his shot and cause him to miss.

 

Go Rockets!



Plss cut down the TOs.

 

some positives of first half:
1. Yao staying out of foul trouble and playing well.
2. they are fouling a lot.
3. kobe cooling down.
but where is artest? hope he showed up in the second half.
