Tired of people saying Rockets won because Lakers did not live up to expectation

IM Tired of people around here saying Rockets will win on sunday. its cool that you blieve but it sounds more ignorant that the laker fans. c'mon guys lets be humle unike those fakers.

 

Phil Jackson: Give the Rockets some **** credit.

 

NO...please don't give us any credit...let all the tv announcers keep saying that we don't belong and that we can't win....This team THRIVES off of that.

Then after we win Game7...let's hear PJ say "GIVE THE ROCKETS SOME FU**ING CREDIT!" We will accept it then.

 

I have chosen to ignore them. Everywhere you go, it's people down talking the rockets. The faker fans always have excuses and when we talk about Yao being out they call it our excuse. Everyone expected it to be a sweep then no sweep. Yao went out,they thought i was gonna be easy from there. Well what do you know...we're at a game 7 biyatch.

 

I think the Rockets will win, but I'm not parading around and announcing it to the world. I almost like the lack of respect we get from everyone. I think all of the pressure is on LA. I'm happy with the season no matter what happens tomorrow. Will be much happier if we make it to the WCF.

 

I hope they are still saying that after game 7.

It's no different than our fans after we lose to a team we are more talented then.

Just imagine if we were healthy and was losing to the Lakers without Kobe and Pau. We would say our team was playing down to the competition.

May not be true but that is what most people would say.

 

Another airball, Glen. D'OH!

 

What these announcers don't get is that that is what happens when you meet Rockets D. We make you look bad. Its been happening all year.

Its hard to reach your "potential" with Hayes, Artest, Battier, Scola, and Landry in your grill.

 

i can see the highlight film. Voiceover : " And the Lakers again were not playing to their potential ... " [slow mo of Kobe getting stuffed by Landry after trying to squeeze through Hayes, Battier and Artest just like in game 6].

 

have these national media people forgotten what happened last year? they probably said the same garbage about boston, when they got pushed to 7 games twice, including a much inferior Hawks team........and then of course they all jumped back on the bandwagon when they beat LA.

 

expectations? what expectations? that the lakers would sweep every opponents in the playoffs? or the rockets would just give in after losing its star power? give me a break.

 

F*** um...

 

Regardless of the outcome of Game 7, in most people's mind they have reaffirmed that the LA Lakers have become the LA Fakers. Losing 3-4 times to a star-free Rox is just inexcusable and pathetic!

 

If Houston wins tomorrow, eventually they will get the credit they deserve.

Once people get an idea in their head (or, especially, if they say it or write it in public), it's very hard to make them give it up.

In this case, the "Juggernaut Lakers" theme just won't quit, no matter how shoddy they can perform.

It reminds me of last year heading into the Finals. So few people, it seems, picked Boston. They bought the hype.

 

GET RED OR GET SCARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Losers look for excuses, winners just do their jobs.

You don't go around to ask for respect. Respect is never high on media's agenda. It's always about trend. Lots of times, those bandwagon "respects" are just worthless anyways.

 

Here's the thing people don't realize. Playing hard and competing each game is part of being a good team. It doesn't make sense to say "Oh, the Lakers are clearly a better team, they just don't play as hard and that's why they lost." No -- if they were the better team, then that means they compete hard enough to win.
