I'm just looking at game one versus the Blazers right now. We have four more wins to get before even considering what we might do against the Lakers.
the weakest player is determinant factor for how far a team can go in playoffs. they have fisher and we have ab.
to checkout how miserable jazz fans feel right now... better than be like other ppl here b****ing about playing portland in first round
I was encouraged by seeing his ass on the bench, where he belongs, for so long tonight. Kyle Lowry is a friggen PG. Do you ever notice when AB goes to the basket and puts up one of his idiotic prayers.....and one of them actually goes in, how worked up Bill and Clyde get? "ragghhh AB with an acrobatic blahhhhhh, how'd he do that? blahhhhhhh" yea. nevermind the other 10 dinks he bricked. yet Lowry glides into the paint gracefully, or other times a lil more bullish, makes a textbook picture-perfect and-1.....and it's seems like just another day at the office......the point is.....he's natural. AB is gonna cost us more than Ron will. /rant.
.. This Kobe thing has been overplayed here for quite some time now this season. Just because we are 0 - 4 against Lakers doesn't mean they overplayed us. We were atleast in all three games until the fourth quarter collapse in two games, and the Artest - Kobe fiasco in one game which I blame RA for not controlling the situation better. He should have switched Artest with Shane on Kobe. Let's be honest Kobe took very deep tough three that won a game for them after Artest went for steal. In another game Kobe took two threes at the end of the game with Shane all over him ... that he buried. Remember he only scored 20 points against Shane, and he only had 14 points before those deep threes. I will take those low percentage deep threes any day from Kobe when we meet LA. Kobw wosshippers will be surprised if we beat the fakers not anyone who has followed the Rockets for the past 3/4 years. One day lucky charm will be with us
I can't understand why everyone thinks we have this in the bag. It seems like everyone is already saying second round here we come. Do you guys seriously think it's going to go that smoothly. Let's first get these 4 wins and move on from there.
Hope that you guys don't complain and whine here in the same time about Rockets not getting respect on other forums and how for instance Jazz fans looked ahead of us last year. I know people are limited in thinking, but this much?
