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

No mcgrady. no artest. we don't stand a chance.

 

Yeah this game doesn't look too good without both T-mac & Artest. I wonder if they can pull this out >< i hope they do

 

Injuries on both sides and its gonna be a tough game

Lakers won't have sasha vujacic, farmar, Odom and Walton

This is gonna be a good one. Good luck Rockets fans

 

lakers vs rockets is never a boring game!

 

if Sun Yue plays we're going to probably lose.

 

Wafer is our new Tmac. Im not even worried about tommorow, we gots this!

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I was using RPG to measure the defensive presence.

 

i really can't wait to watch this game, i hope wecome out with some fire in us...and take the fakers down..

 

Line up will be:

Yao | Bynum
Scola | Gasol
Battier | God knows
Von | Bryant
Alston | Fisher

Our bench is a lot stronger in my opinion, but coach said Battier will be guarding Kobe.

 

Always cheer for the front of the jersey, not the back.

 

exactly. hopefully von wafer steps up big in this game. and hopefully the defense continues to play well.

chuck hayes might get a lot of playing time in this game b/c of his tough D.

and hopefully yao steps up big. he needs to take over as the leader right now.

 

I find it hard to believe that Artest won't be playing in this game. He loves guarding Kobe, you watch him come in as a late minute revise on the player sheet.

 

rockets win by 10 or more.

 

ouch, without ron and tmac, we get owned on all starting positions (except probably SF). our bench needs to step up for us to win this.

 

If Rox display a "Never Say Die" spirit, and with the support and cheering of the home crowd, a win is not impossible. We might see the greatest episode of "Mission Impossible" tomorrow.

At least, our young players can learn a lot from this game. Go Rockets.

 

The key matchup will be

Scolandry vs Gasolodom

If our PFs could contain theirs the whole game, we have a slim chance to win this one.

 

i think we are doomed...no t-mac, no artest...shane still isn't 100%...

unless yao and SOMEONE else both have a career game, we are losing this one for sure.

 

we are not at best statuses so far, although we have 3-0 winning streak, Battier is back to our rotation last game. We cant let Battier only to defender Kobe, that's impossible, Battier also need teammates' help. Yao, Scolalandry defender our paint, Gasol and Bynum both cant stop them. So I still believe we have chance to get a win, to revenge lakers. Rockets beat Lakers by 105 to 99..

 

wow this game could end up bad for us. last time we met it was a huge blowout, and now we dont have ron or tmac. i dunno if shanes 100%. who knows if rafer and brooks will show up. and will yao step his game up? cuz he knows daam ****ing well he has to when hes playing the lakers w/ no tmac and ron.

rox better bring it this game. they had 2 days off. it wont be easy but itt is doable. lakers have odom, walton, and farmar out so that helps but not much. if we can contain gasol and bynum, we have a chance. kobe can go off but we've won when kobe scored 50. the other players we gotta worry about.

 

center position?
