You notice when AB plays well the Rockets win? Problem is he only has a good game every other game. I was thinking about this during the game: if you took the two best players off of every other team in the league and made them play the Rocks would dominate. Our depth is amazing. AB/Battier/Hayes/Scola/Artest with a bench of Lowry/Wafer/Landry/Cook just kicked the crap out of a FULLY HEALTHY Lakers squad. Can you imagine if you took Kobe and Gasol off of the Lakers? HA! It would be a sweep. Seriously the Lakers have no guts, IF they make it to the next round the Nuggest will crush them.
this team will slowly turn into an Adelman team. this game was only a glimpse of what we can become. the ball was moving, guys were cutting, it was beautiful. there was only one thing i didnt like with artest holding onto the ball way too much.
THIS ROCKET TEAM HAS NO YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!!! They still have not hit on all Cylinders . .. . and still a BIG WIN!! Landry did not have a great game either. . . Rocket River
Where are the Aaron Brooks haters. Here come the Tony Parker and Iverson comparison from clutch fans.
If you played sports... you cannot go full speed 24/7 especially with the amount of adrenaline they burned early Noobs will cry about the final score... irrelevant. What's key is that they got stops when they needed to.
greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat game!!! After the 1st quater I know we can win this game!! we played with energy, heart!
actually, even a non tough laker team still has the talent to beat the nuggets. this rockets team is the only team standing in their way. they beat us and they win the chip.
i was already satisfied with our season this year overall. this game is just bonus like icing on a cake. made my day. no matter how it will end for us, i will consider it the best season in 12 years.
This offense seems to flow better without Yao because they have more time. Yao seems to clog up the lane and prevent them from driving too. This team came back down 15pts in LA with Yao sitting. So it's not like Yao help them that much. If anything, Yao help in terms of guarding penetration. Offensive, not much since they fronted him. Defensive and rebound seems to be BETTER without Yao as well because Chuck is quick enough to double Kobe.
