So whats are starting five now? C Scola PF Hayes SF Battier SG Artest PG Brooks I have Hayes starting so that we still have Landry to bring in off the bench, along with Lowry, Wafer and now Barry will see more minutes. Run Run Run and shoot without a conscience. Oh and put in Cook on headhunter missions. If we can beatem, hurtem.
Support DD! Supoort Rox!! Yes ! Aaron run and shoot it! Artest run and shoot it! Lowry run and shoot it! Barry run and shoot it! Scola run and shoot it! Landry run and dunk it! Vafer run and dunk it! shoot the d*a*m*n*e*d LA! Pls. Beat the rapist !
thought about the running game, too. it's an obvious alternative with yao out. just curious to see what kinda game plan adelman, the said offense genius, will put together tomorrow.
Landry is a good option, or do the 2 small PG's routine...either way....push it through the floor boards boys.... Push push in the ...uh....gym..... DD
You don't change your game drastically like that at this point. What is going to happen is that we'll go inside to Scola and Landry little more. And for the most of the other time it is going to be Artest going one one one or Brooks dribbling around in circles trying to create something. Our main concern is rebounding and getting open shots. I don't expect us to win, but as long as we play hard and give everything we got, I'll be happy.
JVG did when Ewing went out, they went from a Center team to a run and gun one...and it took them to the NBA finals. DD
should we try to out muscle the Lakers w/o Yao? it wasn't working WITH Yao..... I don't think the Lakers can run with our smaller lineups. I know they can't.
Big problem if "uber small" includes Hayes and Battier. You can forget running with the bare mention of their names. Greyhounds? Something they should have been thinking about as far back as Rudy Gay.
Leave Battier in there for D....but get Wafer, Landry, Lowry and maybe even James White some run....... DD
we will pull an upset. i believe in the rockets. we have overcome a great deal of obstacles throughout the season, we can and we shall overcome. For us to win, we need to play team basketball, no iso, no feeding post(except for sometimes). we need to move the ball, push the ball, attack the baskrt, and make open threes. don't take stupid shot. On defense, we need to play team Defense against the bigs, also need the hustle plays of every able rocket player. We can still win, don't give up. Also, ron artest don't get ejected and definetely don't go crzay also, run, run, run, and....run
Its time to take a page out of Portlands playbook and see what worked against the FAKERS!!! NO matter what..... this Rockets team shows heart and will go down fighting. The next games should be fun to watch!.... just remember what got us back in game 2!!..... I really dont remember but was it???.... Hayes, Battier, Landry Artest & Brooks? or Hayes, Artest, Landry, Lowrey & Brooks Anyways.... time for Adelman to redeem himself better yet pull something from his sleeve. Go Rockets!!!!!
I thought we won a game doing that and were still in the last game till the end. But with Yao out and no backup center, it's not like we have much choice left, I guess. BTW, the Lakers were the 3rd highest scoring team in the league this year. They went over 100 points 63 times and won 54 of those games. To say they can't keep up may be selling them a bit short. But like I said, who cares now, I guess. Do whatever - I just hope they don't get blown out.
Time to work the ball through Scola..... This will be interesting to watch with no Yao, or TMAC out there. Also, it could be VERY painful in a few ways... including Ron Artest trying to do too much. Wafer, Landry, Scola really need to step it up.
