[OC Register's Kevin Ding] Impossible to Believe the Lakes will Lose

He makes a good point on closing which every Rockets fan already knows, BUT this team just needs to play great D like they did versus Blazers and get the ball more to Yao, and just hope that is enough.

 

Thanks for your 2 cent input OC Register's Kevin Ding, but forgive me if I'd rather hear about the series from an opinion outside of California.

 

Just....LOL. That's one thing you have to like about Artest - he always says what he thinks, which is a nice change from the majority of athletes who don't say anything interesting or even insightful when they're interviewed.

 

I am with Ron.

Roy drove to the rim more than Kobe. Kobe is a jump shooter.

 

I think he's making too much of Yao supposed lack of conditioning in the 4th quarter.

 

T-Mac does the same... too bad he is always thinking the wrong thing.

 

I probably come from a different generation than the OC writer. The Lakers have a long history of being prohibitive favorites, but when they're really great (like this year) they do not want to see the Houston Rockets.

And we are a strange and still growing team - injuries and no hint of a set rotation three months ago. The solution is simple: we catch fire and beat everyone.

If we lose, so be it, but we'll dance with those guys.

 

Its pretty common for starters to lose in practice. Its been said many times that the bench guys get pushed a lot harder than starters. Every once in a while, however, the starters will come in and actually show em how its done if bench guys get too cocky.

 

Good post. I can't wait until the music starts!

 

Sun Yue's still with that team? Haven't heard news of him since he was signed.
