my god....why did all these Laker fans come and post inthe game thread? btw...Rockets win....Kobaby aint jack..Im more fearful of Odom
Rudy is going to let Yao run all over whoever they put at center. I wouldn't be surprised though to see him trap TMac.
I heard the owner of the Lakers is sending over some high class Chinese call girls dressed up in Lakers cheerleader outfits over to Yao's hotel suite.
I will be in Vegas for CES, and will place money on the Rocks. Therefore they should not let me down. Rocks 102 Lakers 95 DD
Last season with SF3 at the point, Yao got the first 3 shots in the first quarter in most games. This year, he is lucky to get 3 shots in the first quarter unless it's offensive putbacks.
I've got a $25 donation to ClutchNet that says you're wrong. Care to put your money where your keyboard is?
I'm surprised that Rudy T has the Lakers above .500. I've watched a couple of Lakers games. It seems they have a rag tag group of 3 point shooters who are doing pretty well from beyond the arc. It's almost ironic, but I think Shaq would do well with the 3 point gunners they have in their lineup now. If I were Yao, I'd pay attention to how the Lakers are structuring that team. It's certainly different than how the Rockets have constructed the team. Phil Jackson said that Kobe wanted to go uptempo, but he commented that the Lakers will still go back to the half-court offense. I think the opposite is happening with the Rockets. The Rockets started out thinking they could force a half-court offense, but the uptempo offense is the way to go.
After the way we competed against the Suns NO WAY we lose this game. Against the Lakers? Maaaan, chalk up this W! Doesn't matter the score Rox by 15.
Smart money. All they have to do is win to cover, the Lakers are favored by 4, I think that's the number of points Vegas gives the home team when everything else is equal like the 3 points they give in football. DUMP THE BALL TO YAO MING!!! That makes a lot of sense...
Yao will have a big game tonight. He abused Chris Mihm last time out and will do so again on national tv. McGrady, Sura and Kobe will put on a scoring exibition so that they combine for $100K donation (T-Mac 54, Kobe 46, Sura 0). Rockets win 102-89 GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think our Role players are better, but we can't match up with Lamar Odom....who won't get the ball anyway........ here's hoping Kobe, T-Mac, and my brother Bobby each score 50 to raise $150K for the tsuaumi relief(yeah I realize that it won't happen, but look, I'm just hoping)...
Rudy loves Yao, and Yao loves Rudy. Do you think Rudy will use the single coverage on Yao whole game just for beyond the game meaning? By the way I want to trade JVD for Rudy.
I want the Rockets to win, but in reality: Rockets guards + TMac 5-25 from 3s; Kobe guards TMac and makes him ineffective; Yao's PT is limited because of confliict with playing style. He will get 8 shots and be 6-8 from the floor including 4 offensive putback; Sura will be 1-8 from the floor and gets a DNP in the 4th quarter. Lakers by 8.
Kobe, being the most selfish player in the NBA, will shoot 38 times and only make 9 shots. TMac, being a somewhat selfish player, will shoot 23 times and make 11 shots. Yao, being the least selfish player in the NBA, will shoot 14 times and make 8 shots. Rockets win.
