    Lets go ROCKETS!! Let's F these fools up! :mad:

    I hope Shane Battier has some sort of inspirational fighting speech that he has worked on for the past couple days to pump up the guys. We gotta come out of that tunnel fighting and come out strong so we can get the fans out of the game.

    Here are my keys to the game:

    1. Do not get into foul trouble
    2. Come out strong at the beginning of the game
    3. get into the Lakers head and make 'em work for every point
    4. limit the turnovers
    5. do not play 1-on-1 basketball (specifically targeted at Artest).

    I think if AB and anyone else on the team come out strong we've got a good chance of winning. Also, if Ron can put together a decent game that will better our odds. If we share the ball like we did in game 4 and 6 we will have plenty of opportunities to hit open shots. The number one priority should be to not let gasol and bynum get hot and keep on them defensively make them take long jumpers. Kobe will have his 30+ points on 25+ shot attempts (I can live with that) but do not let them have any sort of runs. When we destroy their confidence from the start we win.

    Maybe he simply doesn't know any number except 90 and 108. Way to go. What a way for an egghead to root for the team. Seconded. :eek:

    Anyone know who the announcing crew is for our game?

    Let's hope it's Van Gundy and friends.

    70% of the plays need to be aaron brooks running a pick and roll and not causing any turnovers. use his speed to get in the paint then dish to the open man.
