ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 12/1/2010

Tough stretch. Hopefully, we can just be competitive.

 

Let's rock the baby to sleep tonight and get a win!

 

Ouch. 5-13 here we come.

LA just lost t home to the Pacers they will not want to lose tonight.

I think it's gonna be an ugly loss unfortunately.

O start JT he playe well against them last year!

 

I encourage all Rockets fans to make it out to this game if you can to take seats and tickets away from potential Lakers fans. It's the only time Lakers come to town this season. Last year's second home game, after it was clear we wouldn't make playoffs, vs them we had about a 3:2 ratio for Rockets fans to Lakers fans. Don't forget to wear those BEAT LA and LAKER HATER t-shirts!

 

Let's see how we play them without Yao and AB, last time they got a late 3 to beat us.

If we are better with Lowry as the starter, we should win, right?

One can only wish

We r likely not in this game b/c we don't have Aaron.

 

#8, in honor of JT. Please win.

 

Try this on 'em: Ish, JT, Lee, Hill, BM. Why not?

 

I'm wondering how we'd do with Martin coming off the bench and Lee starting. Martin's game is instant offense, and he consistently comes out of the gates shooting sharp. Wouldnt that asset be more valuable to this team off the bench? Lee's gameplay seems better suited to starting- he's better defensively, more agile and has a better overall game than Martin.

Their minutes wouldnt change drastically (both getting over 20 mins per game); I'm not sure that the end result would be any different, but at this point I think its worth exploring the lineup change to see what happens.

 

I'm admiring my Ish, JT, Lee, Hill, BM idea, especially to match up with (read: try to out-run) the Lakers. Gasol will kill us no matter what we throw out there; otherwise, we got a fighting chance. JT played well in his start against them last year. Ah, well, I predict Rick will start Kyle, Martin, Battier, Scola, and Hayes, with another sad result.

 

I'm seeing another depressing loss with Martin folding in crunch time..

 

Rockets lose again.

Losing is fun.

 

So by your logic, if we did win, would you admit that Lowry is better? :grin:

 

win by 23 pts

 

long time lurker, first time poster! tough season so far but a nice win here would mean we took 2/3 from teams at the top of the conference which is a nice step if you ask me. : )

 

Loss.

 

Hopefully we put up a fight and not get blown out...

 

LOL.. if that was the case, i think we'd have more than 5 wins, but lets not get into another Lowry vs AB debate..

We're gonna get beat up pretty bad tomorrow. This team has no identity or personality... that's not a great recipe for Wins.

 

Start Ish... Fisher can't hang with him in the open floor.
