ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 10/30/2007

How does Luis Scola look in his new Anta shoes ?



The logo on his shoes showed this is Anta instead of Nike that he used to wear.

 

haha bonzi walks away from huddle...and stevie looking away on the ground

 

i am going to the game tomorrow.

first rox game for last 2 yrs. should be fun. will keep everyone posted

rox 112, lakers 101

yao 34, 17, 4 assists

 

kobe 40+points we lose, otherwise we win.

 

plus 6 fouls

 

Well, I'll be more than happy if Big Yao can end up with half of that stats....17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, if he is to continue playing alot of his time from the high post.

Judged from his interviews and comments to the Chinese reporters, he is still not confident and comfortable about his current adaptation to the Rick Adelman's new offense systems, and he said this team full of new players still requires time for developing team chemistry and get adapted to Rick Adelman's new offense systems, while improving on their very poor defense as demonstrated in the preseason games.

He remarked with sarcasm that thanks to the NBA Committee and David Stern, the initial 10 games (i.e. the games in November) for the Rockets are very tough and the Rockets need to grind their teeth and hope to get out the devilish November schedule not losing too many games, and thus the confidence and momentum for the new season.

 

Another Rocket player endorsing Chinese basketball shoe! I hope they are paying Yao a commission.

The game is on TNT but thanks for the offer.

 

Once again Pryuen you steel the show with really great Photos. Thank you!

 

So is Kobe really not gonna play?

 

I think Stevie is looking for his Anta contract that they gave to Scola without telling him.

 

it doesnt matter how many points he scores.
WE WILL WIN.

 

Kwame,

Why don't you ask Phil? You would know better than us, Kwame.

 

Check out Chuck's FG% during his senior year at Kentucky:

Get, Vaseline, TISSUE

 

yes he says he is. phil says he is. the lakers PR says he is. he's on inactive NOW, but not for the game.

if he's inactive, look for him to be traded

 

Who's gonna foul out Yao? Mihm? Bynum? Kwame?

 

I defenitely hope Rox could win, but seriously, I'm not sure if the Adelman's system could work effectively right away and I think Yao just need more time to adapt.
With the consideration of Lakers' status, I think we can win by less than 10 points.

 

we'll ride tmac and bonzi in the first few weeks until everyone is adjusted and adelman puts yao back in his place. tmac and bonzi are the only ones who look really fluid in this offense so far.
