I hope Yao and co hang their head listening to these comments and let them smirk about. Go in an fight like there's not tomorrow and come out with their head high. Win or Loss.
Lakers and Knicks fans are the most arrogant fans in the NBA. They have so much ego it goes on your nerves, oh I would love so much if Rockets upset Lakers and knock them out. Only one weapon? Yeah right....
First of all, classy Laker fans, be careful what you wish for. And as much as the peeps are rooting on the Lakers like Mac did, and that the Lakers have taken the life out of us (especially in the fourth quarter) this season without Bynum, the Rockets can still give a good fight, circling probability to a Game 6. In case, they manage to pull off a huge upset against them (although not very likely), it'll be damn sweeter. For now, let's just home in for the kill against our opponents right now before these Laker threads. I don't want to look at the future yet, to be honest.
Chuuuch... Olaujuwon, Kenny Smith, Otis Thorpe, Vernon Maxwell, Rober Horry, Sam Cassell, Matt Bullard, Mario Elie, Scottie Brooks, Carl Herrera
Us clutchfans need to sabotage the Lakers. Maybe we can pull a move from 'celtic pride' and kidnap one of the key laker players. Than keep them in basement or something. And do dirty,demeaning things to them.
My first basketball memory was of a Rockets team that faced a dominant Lakers team in the Playoffs. Remember that?
Playing the lakers are nothing special to us. I regarded the Portlands as the mini version of the lakers. Why lakers have problems with blazers? because they are exactly alike in terms of player make up and advantage to blazers is the younger age factor. Let's face it, we need Battier and Ron on Kobe and guard him the same way we did to Roy. nothing special. Kobe is tiny bit slower but much more explosive and dangerous. Gasol and Bryum is just like Joel and Oden with stronger skill set in gasol. PJ is a lot better coach then nate. We have can win all games at home, we are golden. We then try to wage eveything on game 7. the strategy is to win all home games.
let's get realistic here. we can't beat the lakers, of course they want to play us. i'll be pretty impressed if we can take this series 6 games.. most likely ends in 4 or 5.
everyone knows the NBA wants a Kobe vs. Lebron finals. Lakers would be given preferential officiating no matter who they face. I see them winning it in 5 or 6 games.
Well what did you guys expect them to say? I think it's true. We are the easier win and Yao can be contained easily. My biggest gripe before the season started was that we are so small in the front court when Yao is not on the floor. None/zero/zilch of our front court guys are over 6"10. You take that against a very tall athletic team like Lakers and it's a recipe for a guarantee loss. Our only chance was Deke but since the injury I have no idea how we can pull out 2 wins let a lone 4. I have us winning 1 game for sure but battling tough to win 2 games. Front Court: Yao/Scola/Landry/Chuck vs. Bynum/Gasol/Odom Obviously their back court vs ours. Brooks is going to be a non factor because they can easily put fisher on him and post up. If our guys fight from the beginning till the end I'll be happy even if we lose. We would of made it this far and really are just missing a few key pieces that can really make us a contender for the future.
Lakers are confident, that's normal. And sure, they want us in the 2nd round. We are a good team and they are a great one. They swept us in the regular season so they feel very comfortable playing against us. We have no answers for Kobe and they are just too big for us. What's more, they can't win in Portland so it would be tough for them to play at Rose Garden. But Yao, he is AT HIS BEST when he plays against big centers. That fan is just an idiot who doesn't know anything. Just an idiot.
WTF? why are ya'll repeatedly posting crap from other teams message boards? I don't give a rats ass what Laker/Blazer fan thinks........and if I did, I go to their website to read it. I thought this was a Rockets board? lately kind looks like a Blazers board
Speaking of the Jazz. Weren't they supposed to leave the Lakers like this?? Another reason why the Jazz Suck!
Lakers are not all that. Look at the win against us. Analyze who is playing and who's not ....then talk about it.
