ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 1/10/2007

It is hard to win a lot of times coming off of a road trip. That first game back home is often difficult. So the Rockets will have their work cut out for them.

The Lakers are playing back to back, and lost last night. If the Rockets can jump out to an early lead, it might compound the Lakers weariness, and demoralize them.

 

Not to mention he'll be beating a record set by a Laker, sweet. I'd also like to see the block be on Bynum, who is a Jabbar protege. I'm looking for a win here too, this is unfinished business from that furious comeback that we had the last time we played here. Odom out, Kwame out, we need to take advantage and jump on them early. Bynum has been getting too much dap lately anyway he needs to get humbled by Deke, like Gasol did last night.

 

if kobe goes beserk even with battier's defense (like last time), i'd like to see tmac get some time on him. Tmac, when he puts his mind to it on defense, is a nightmare. The added incentive of facing a superstar always has mcgrady motivated to out-do him. SEE: James, Lebron.




KICK HIS ASS TMAC

 

104 - 92 rox win!!

 

I just saw Smush Parker at the Food Court next to the Four Seasons Hotel in Downtown, and I told him to watch out tonight for the Rowdies. He was getting food from a Chinese place, so I told him that stuff gave me mad gas last night, so he better watch out. It was pretty funny.

 

he must be real tired of hotel / room service food

 

It's on...I can't wait...I need to find a spot to watch the game...

Rox: 105

Fakers: 102

 

stalker

 

Good point about hitting them early. This is their 5th game in 7 days. They are weary, jump on them early and make Kobe SIT DOWN. He sat the whole 4th qtr vs Memphis last night. Zen meister said he would only put him back in if they were within 10 with 3 minutes left.

Deke, PLEASE Make Jabbar cry.....

 

The Lakers will be without Odom and Brown for tonights game. I think the Rockets know and feel they are better than the Lakers and tonight they will prove that. The Rockets flatout gave away those first 2 games to the Lakers so tonight they will be on a mission to win. Plus they know if they win they will tied with LA for the 5th seed in the west. Tmac should be huge tonight and Battier,Head,Howard and Deke will do thier part. Rockets win by 6 points in a good game. Go Rockets!!!

 

4th: 0.18s left

we are down to 18pts

Then Tmac-time

In 18 seconds, he scores 19pts...








You are fooled

 

rox will be buried by Vujacic or Cooks 3s. Bynum will halt Motumbo's starlar performance. Kobe always on when play rox. So rough game bro.

 

I don't know about that. It took a 26-1 fourth quarter run by the Rockets to get back into that first game, so if anything, the Fakers damn near gave it away.


No argument on the 2nd game though.

 

Ok, so after school today I went around the commons in my T-Mac jersey with my friend and asked random people what they feel about tonight.

I was obviously reppin T-Mac and asked them like "Who's gonna win, T-Mac or Kobe?"

I got a little more Kobe's than T-Mac, but I was talking trash to those Kobe fans about how T-Mac will explode tonight, so hopefully T-Mac does it and I dont look like a fool tomorrow.

Heh, I also told the Kobe kids I would come back and hit em up tomorrow when we T-Mac rockets Kobe tonight.

That being said, final prediction:

Rockets win, T-Mac lights it up for 36/8/7/2/2 to the MVP chants from the Red Rowdies (please do it!).

 

Any of you Chinese fans know the schedule tonight? I'll only be able to catch this one on Sopcast. Is it on any of the Chinese broadcasting channels?

 

im glad t-mac decided not to hide from kobe this time. (sarcasim)

 

Well what was his answer?????

 

T-Mac another outstanding performance, dropping in 38 pts and 6 rebs. Mutombo grabs 16 rebs. Final score, Rockets 99-97 Lakers.

 

i would much rather see this matchup than a HOU/DEN matchup on Friday...

cant believe this game isnt televised tonight...

GO Rockets

 

He just laughed and said we'll see. I can't believe I wished him luck, but then again, they'll need it tonight. He was with a short, albeit big, Caucasian male. It wasn't Gary Vitti, maybe the equipment manager or something. He was asking for people to go up to him because he was wearing purple shorts and a lakers practice jersey with a lakers towel around his neck. I didn't recognize him at first because I don't watch Lakers games that much (only in playoffs or vs HOuston), I actually thought it was Chuck Hayes for a second but then realized he'd be an idiot for wearing Lakers stuff.
