Clutchfans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 1/13/2009

Id have to disagree with you on that. It has more to do with the team they are playing.

 

I like this rotation by Adelman. He's playing almost everybody and the pace in really fast, we may win just because the Lakers get gassed in the 4th.

 

The ref put a microscope on Yao and you still defend them. sick.

 

Yao is recreating a blackman in sport scenario back in the 60s.

 

Because Houston fans at the TC are so great, they always leave the low rows empty. So refs never feel the pressure. Because Yao has never tried to complain in the press how he was treated unfairly. So refs feel obligated to abuse him.

 

Is it so hard to accept the fact that Yao is being treated like this just because of his race? Let's be honest.

 

Is anyone else listening to the NBA TV halftime show? All I can say is WOW! Are these guys actually getting paid for this?!

 

There are two things that can kill us in the 2nd half. 1st is obvious, we can't rebound for chit! The 4 and 5 need to box out and the 1 2 and 3 gotta jump and grab the rebounds. Don't just run forward and expect your 4 and 5 are gonna get it because they are not as athletic as the opponent's. Second thing is YAO'S PASSING LANE. Did you guys not see that there were so many times the FAKERS almost got those steals when Yao passed the ball out to the top??? OMG I remember there were 3 times that almost made me throw my remote at the TV if they did steal the ball. We gotta protect the passing lane better by spacing. If we correct the above then we will have a legit chance to beat the Fakers tonight given the percentage we've been shooting the ball!!!!

 

I think its more the fact that Refs don't get to make calls on 7'6" players every game rather than his ethnicity

 

you are still buying or selling this kind of excuses?

 

gary payton is soo gay lol....did u hear him say nbbaaaa tvvvvv WTF LOLL

 

We get 1 to start off the second half though lol...

Wafer is what the Rockets have needed for awhile, hes filling in great for Tmac, makin him look like the black Ryan Bowen lol

 

You seen Marv Albert? He's 67

 

What do you expect when Gary Payton is the "analyst"?

 

IMO Wafer and Bowen are about as different players as they come

 

They are acting silly like they are high, they suck

 

One more thing defensively, we got to stop them scoring. We cant keep shooting over 60% all the game.

 

I already said that they didn't call things on our end. I simply said that on that play, when they showed the side angle right where the ref was standing, Yao moved his body to the right slightly. And I'm not defending the refs. That's what happened. The call against Barry was actually worse because when Kobe spun around, Barry wasn't touching him at all.

 

So they put a microscope on Yao and look really closely? Why don't they put microscope on every player? That's called "intentional"!

 

Kobe gets the nod on any foul...we all know that. It's one of Sterns commandments.
