LA Times: Even Rockets Fans Know Series with Lakers is Over

This Series is far from over..but we have to win tomorrow..

 

This is why I hate Lakers...their fans are so arrogant.

 

Game 4 is a must win.
Rick needs to make adjustments...


Aaron Brooks NEEDS to grow a heart and some balls...

 

what a great barometer. i'll have to remember to add "no turnovers" to a player's statline next time i'm trying to embellish his impact on a game.

 

Um, Bill, so with all the angles in this series... your peg surrounded one random, emotional fan in a red mohawk who made an offhand comment?

 

haha...exactly what crossed my mind. does bynum have a high turnover prob or something?

 

Over? Fakers give in so early?

 

if the rockets lose tomorrow, i'd say its over
so tomorrow is a must win...

hopefully yao can play

 

Laker fan here. Don't mind Plaschke. Even people in LA think he's an idiot.

 

Come on, this series isn't over until one team win 4 games.

I will be very disappointed if Rockets already give up.

 

the problem i see for the rockets now is that i don't know if they can win game 7 on the road, and i dont know if they can win 3 in a row to avoid game 7. realistically i hope for them to win the next 2 home games. push it to 7 and maybe anything can happen.

i think it's important to realize that this season is already a success. our guys learned how to win a series. they officially have playoff experience. what a great learning tool this lakers series is for brooks, lowry, landry, wafer, etc...

 

game 4 is a must win, we have to hit them hard. Win or lose, I want to see blood.

 

I think it's over. I'm going to root hard for the Rockets and want them to win obviously.

But reality is reality.

The Rockets can't win 3 in a row against the Lakers..even 2 being at home..and they WILL not win a game 7 in LA. At least this is what my heart and brain tells me. Kobe is just too good to let that happen.

 

Yes, Its over. This team is not built for champaign but Laker is. For champaign , we must trade YAO then get a player like kobe and another like shaq. YAO is so limit. Rockets pay so much money to him but he always cannot afford 40's game.

 

One game at a time. Can't be thinking 3 right now.

You fight, and you might win the next game by a point, 5 points, tripple OT, doesn't matter. Then you go to LA, you fight hard again, you may lose by 40 but you may win by a couple.
As long as we play hard, anything is possible. But obviously odds are not with us right now.

 

The strategy to defeat LA is to make the Lakers think it is over and that they only have to show up to close out the series. Let the Lakers let up and play without the intensity because they think it is over and our best game is behind us. It is like a killer whale playing with a seal pup. Once the killer whale has the seal pup out in open water and away from the shore, then the killer whale lets up and just plays/tosses the seal pup around. Occassionally, the seal pup gets away and the killer whale loses. Now, if the killer whale is really hungry, then the seal pup never gets away. Let the Lakers get into coast/play mode and look ahead. Then, steal a game, get back in it, and live to fight another day. Oh well...it sounded good in principle.

 

I stopped reading when I saw this......

This next game will tell if this particular Rockets team has the heart of a champion.
