ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 5/12/2009 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

I really hate Artest's shot selection...ugh

 

artest needs to ****in post up.. contested jumpers ain't gonna cut it... pg needs to be more aggressive and drive to the rim.. and please no more stupid turnovers!!!!!!

 

The funny thing is Odom,Ariza,Farmar are **** 3pt shooters and that showed against the Celtics.

 

we are freaking get owned man and they are making crazy shots. THIS SUCKS!

 

kobe and gasol will eat up our inside before halftime

 

calm down, people. when the ref called the phantom foul on Chuck, everybody including the rockets players know that they won't let us win. So I think that definitely affect the way they play.

rocket's basketball lives on aggressiveness, with call like this, what can you do?

 

Defense intensity is not there. Turnovers decide the game.

 

Dang, Odom, Ariza, and Farmar hit three's. FML

 

Scola was the reason for most of the turnovers, not in the right spot and cant catch the ball. Need Hayes back in.

 

Here's what's happening
Brooks brings the ball up
Artest stands near the halfcourt line demanding the ball, if Brooks doesn't pass to him, Artest gives up on the play
When Artest gets the ball, he uses 10+ seconds either then to pass it to someone else with 3- on the clock or chucks up some shot (3-9)
seriously, GIVE IT TO BROOKS

 

This is looking like a carbon copy of game 2.

 

Somebody needs to bust Odom in his back. This is the NBA. If he wants to play be sure to test his punk ass.

 

its not over yet... we've come back from bigger deficits in this series.

 

I guess you werent watching last game

 

wow you guys have absolutely no faith

 

adleman not subbing is killing us. he sits on his hands.


we are 0-4 after being down at the end of the first quarter in the playoffs... very telling stat.

hopefully we will break that tonight.

 

This is what happens when the element of surprise is gone.

 

similar style/background vs. Gasol (international player), but Gasol is taller + has longer arms.
if you play center against guys much taller than you, you'll know why

 

I guess you can't read properly.

 

Ball movement. Stop playing selfish
