ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/16/2008

I honestly think TMac was tentative to start because he doesn't want to make it a him vs Kobe thing. He knows he cant win Kobe. Just let the game c ome to him and trust your teammates. I think he would have tried to take over like he did against NO and Atlanta, if he sees his teammates struggling. Right now, ITS ALL GOOD

 

Laker fans are blaming the refs for their sorry showing. Yeah right. Looks like they haven't seen good defense in awhile! Welcome to Rockets basketball!

 

T Mac better start warming up. Kobe is about to goto work

 

Shaq sucks. All he can do is dunk it. And even now, he misses like half his dunk attempts. He is washed up. I mean, even Deke is performing better than him.

 

i was on the IGN basketball board, and u guys should see all the excuses these guys are coming up with of why we're winning, they can't just give credit where credit is due.

 

TMac picked Rodman probably because Rodman knows a lot about non-basketball stuff. You know...

 

why ? Shaq in his prime was a garunatee championship.

 

dennis is arguably one of the top 3 best defensive big men in the history of the game (individual defense that is) and he irritates his opponents.

 

Man, this is the type of basketball that only makes JVG drool.

 

That's what leadership means. One night he has to score and he scores 30-40 to lead his team and the other night he doesn't have to score, he has to pass for example.

But we need to be careful We have the hole 2nd half to play. Hope Mac will get it rolling

 

Are you kidding me? With Shaq and MJ on the team, somebody has to get rebounds and do the dirty work. Who else can rebound and play D like Rodman without taking any shots?

Hes like a freakish version of Chuck Hayes with the best attitude ever. I would love a teammate like that!

 

actually rodman was the ultimate complementary player

best rebounder, best defensive stopper, ultimate competitor. both detroit and bulls 2.0 dont win championships without rodman

 

Kobe playing hard= 17 fg attempts, only 13 points?

Our team is playing hard and smart, on offense (for the most part) and defense

 

Yeah, and they already have two technicals already. I love to see them struggle.

 

by guys i meant Lakers fans..sorry

 

T-Mac's played two 48 minutes in the last 4 games. He wasn't tentative, he's exhausted.

 

He says Rockets are great, even better defensivly this year than Rockets were previous year. He likes Scola, McGrady

 

Rafer is owning Kobe. And Rafer also took less shots than Kobe.

 

What trick is PHil going to pull in the Lakers locker room?
- a Hilter portrait.
- the Rockets lied to them to stuck in a 10 feet gym
- you guys suck balls, let's finish the game and go home.

 

You can blame them...they are "shocked in disbelief"
