ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 5/17/2009 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 7)

This is the first time I have heard this joke.

 

I'd bust out an inspirational "it's not over 'til the final buzzer" speech, but I think I'll save it until the team makes me think they give a crap.

 

Coach has to leave Wafer on the floor now...
ARtest is giving us nothing

 

We need somebody, somebody to get hot, and stop them. Almost impossiple.

 

I'm trying to understand how the team I saw on Friday can just fall apart every time they go to LA.

 

Please do not resign Artest, Hayes nor Wafer.

I want a new starting PF at at least 6'11, a new SF at least 6'10 and Scola as our beast off the bench. Battier can then be our defensive 6th man and that's it.

 

man, we dont have yao, tmac, artest, or brooks. they aren't hitting shots. so we're asking landry/scola/hayes/wafer to beat the lakers in game 7?

no shot. we should just savor the last time we see this team until november. ugh

 

We're looking real tight out there. They need to forget about the pressure, loosen up and play their game.

GO ROCKETS!

 

Chuckwagon 4pts?????
We're done!

 

I had really hoped that Ron would show some leadership and come out with a much better game after 3 games that sucked. But he just doesn't seem to have it today either.

Shane had better step up his leadership and get some offense going or this game will be over with at halftime.

I do like the move by RA to go with Brooks and Lowry..he should let them probably play together the rest of this quarter, but tell them to be much more agressive with going to the basket and getting their shot off.

They also HAVE to get Scola that ball in the low post somehow!

 

i just want them to put up a fight.........i care-less about the result as long as we put up a fight

 

looks like the bad artest is here today, this is ugly.

 

Yeah. Ron has been MIA since Yao went down.

 

Yeh all this talk about how they bring their effort every game.... well I am sorry but they didnt bring it today in the biggest game of the season.

 

we got them where we want in terms of scoring.. but we just can't score..

 

as bad as ron is playing, at least he caught the ball...Wafer got the ball twice, fumbled the ball on the catch twice, lost it once.

 

Artest sux!

 

its alright fellas....i still tink we got this, lakers made a big comeback early 3rd last game, we can do it to. lets get this to under 10 before half, and then come out 3rd quarter and make it a game.

 

Only down 14, cant play any worse. We need Brooks and Artest to show up to the game.
