great first half by the team, they are definitely playing hard defence tonight hope they can keep this effort for another 24 mins
ROX need to purposely stay away from #2. Let San Antonio have it, man. We cannot risk seeding against the Jazz. I like #4.
The difference this game from last is Battier is on Kobe instead of Ron. Hopefully Kobe stays contained in the second half.
Brooks sucks!!!!!!!!!!! As long as he is on court, the ball always moves slow. Brooks will dribble to nowhere and pass the ball nowhere, then let his teammates shoot it with only few seconds left!!!!!!!!
I know they lost to frikin Minn ? WTF Isn't it weird that they beat the Rockets asses all the time yet lottery teams own them....I just don't get it
Yep. All of Kobe points were difficult shots. Battier makes Kobe work hard and he's not going to let Kobe get in his mind. Also...Artest is doing a great job of whoever he is on, mainly Odom. We keep this up we have a shot but Kobe is going to get aggressive soon and the question is...will we be able to handle it.
yeah i really hope we keep battier on kobe. he won't provoke kobe, which we do not want at all costs. maybe then artest can use the extra energy on offense.
Kobe wasn't even looking to score until the last few minutes of the second quarter. And from that point, he ended the half scoring 7 quick points. I just get the feeling he can score at will against any of our defenders.
As long as Battier stays on Kobe I invite him to take as many shots as he wants. They will be innefecient shots and if he hits, well theres nothing you can really do about it.
The Rockets need to pull away from the Lakers because Kobe likes to play the Rockets in the fourth quarter. I just hope the Rockets are ahead enough that Kobe's run will not matter this time around. Win for pride's sake, can not go 0fer against this team.
That's huge, sure Ron may look cool talking smack, but it would kill us since Kobe would go off. Let him sleep and hoepfully if he tries to takeover late he wont be in a rythm.
