I though Odom was out; he played in Dallas. This will now be a tougher game. If the Lakers lose they will go below .500, they will not want to do that. The Rocks need it more, will win but it will be close, by 6.
Why stupid? T-Mac is hurt. Kobe is in his prime. I am not a Kobe fan. But the truth is the truth. Are you blind?
Well if one thing we can be assured of after Phil Jackson complaining about the officiating in their last game it's that the Rockets will not only have to play the Lakers but will have to overcome the striped shirts as well. It's going to be a frustrating game from that standpoint but it must end with a win for the Rockets.
We are used to that anyways. Yao would not get the benefit of doubt facing anyone in the league not named Yao. Facing Lakers? Yao has to set the tone early. My only worry is that they will waive Yao's turn around jumper and call him for an offensive call when he gets smashed on the arm in the second minute. But that's a must win, and we will get it done.
Yeah, that and Kobe jumping into him because he now knows after coach buddhas comments that he will get all the calls. I'm just asking that Violet Palmer not be part of the officiating crew for tonights game.
Oh God, please don't make my worry affect my work even more. Violet Palmer? That's not equal opportunity, just a frigging joke!
Rox 93- Lakers 88 Man i really like the comments by yao and Tmac. All the tracy haters need to calm down he will be just fine, He is not less athlethic, he is streaky and tired he will be fine. KD
You don't know what 'school' means, do u? There is no way Kobe could do that do Tracy even Kobe is in his prime and T-Mac is hurt. We'll see how stupit the statment is soon!
Ever since the 81 point game Kobe has really been quiet, he isn't even shooting all that much. I guess all the hating got to him and he started passing the ball more, no wonder the Lakers have been on a losing streak! Hopefully the streak will continue. Go Rox.
BIG game toinight...Yao and TMAC blow up...Kobe fades without a legit big man. Let that be a lesson to all of you who think TMAC can CARRY this team...that big fella out there changes alot of stuff that goes on...and he draws alot of attention. Kobe is one of the most talented players in the history of the NBA...but without a legit big man (and it doesn't have to be Shaq) he plays for a losing team. TMac is similar...he is great...or at least damn good...but without a big fella...mostly ordinary results...at least in the W/L's and standings. Great individual #'s without victories = great individual #'s without victories.
I just checked my listed for Comcast League pass and it looks like they are going to pull the same crap they did last Wed. The Warriors vs. Wiz are schedule to play on the same channel that the Rockets are being shown on at 6pm. I'm going to be so freaking pissed if I'm made to miss the first half again because of Comcast jackass scheduling, what the heck am I paying for? Anyone else having this issue??
People stop saying tmac is hurt if he is hurt you wont see him on the court tonight. His back might be lingering in his mind but dont worry for all the "TMAC's Back" club its getting ridiculous at how much people are scared of his back. The season has been frustrating but his back will not be an issue like legs to penny hardaway, mark my words, tmac has greatness in him for 5 years after that well see. Tmac steps up tonight and Yao plays hard again double digit rebounds for Yao tonight. The winning continues.
Yao needs to take Bynum to school.....after the game which Bynum spin move on shaq and dunked......he seems cocky. says Yao is the next target, Duncan too.... punk a$$ little kid, think he is all bad because he did one good move on Shaq....get real, you haven't done anything.
