i like the way artest plays , sometimes shots just don't fall, but hes always confident . but i dont like that he tries to takeover himself
Good point, the Laker's handed Cleveland their only loss at home this season. However, they will get smoked tomorrow night by the Spurs due the big minutes played by Kobe tonight to win this game.
The total bs calls in the final seconds,Kobe and his ****ty Fakers just got away with a handful of uncalled fouls.Anyways,Ron could not stop Kobe on the offensive end,his jumpers and bs calls killed us.I love the effort we put on the court despite we were unable to turn the table at the end. p.s. what the heck was that sound inside Toyota Center,I thought I shoulda heard someone screaming or yelling BOOOOO instead of M.V.P.?Maybe I did it wrong,but I did hear something vaguely.
Yao only got 1 shot in 2nd half. What do you expect? The entire team just didn't make an effort to get Yao the ball when he sealed Gasol, they waited until Gasol recovered his ground. On plays when Yao actually got the ball, RA's system requires Yao to wait for the double team instead of a quick score, and Lakers have length and quickness to disturb his passing. RA's system is just not fits Yao's ability on offense. Sometimes it's good for the team, sometimes it's not.
smart defense by Lakers, shut down the guard around perimeter,otherwise fronting Yao. Phil Jackson know the week point of Rockets and he has solution.
Did you watch the game, when he was on the Rox always did better, he penetrated . Difference Maker . let the bidding begin at $5mm/ year
The coach always falls asleep in the 2nd half. He NEVER makes any subs in the 4th until its far too late and we're down 10 points with 2 minutes to go. Worst coach in the NBA if you ask me.
Start Von Wafer in front of Shane Battier what do you guys think? I know his defense sucks but I would like 1.) Lowry 2.) Wafer 3.) Ron Artest 4.) Scola 5.) Yao Ming
Call it like is for tonight. I hope the team gets it going in the next game and for the Spurs game. I hate the damn Spurs. A win on Saturday will take the place of this lost.
yeah. He was really tearing apart Mehmet Okur in playoffs couple years ago with all that the old regime had taught him.
Rick Adelman can't keep playing Yao for a full QT. and then start him out the next qt. Yao played all the 1st qt. and for the first few minutes of the 2nd qt. then Yao played all the 3rd qt. and the first few minutes of the 4th. When well Adelman learn? Also Yao please get better position on the block when you post up. It wasn't like you were getting fronted tonight.
Artest is either extremely hot or extremely cold. There's no in between. Yao played like how he did against the Jazz during the playoffs.
As I have posted earlier. Adelman should have re adjusted the offense. Make Yao play like Gasol. He does have a mid range game.
okey guys Its time to start a new OFFICial Thread Official Thread:wafer should start mannn KOBE F*&*ING MURDERED ARTEST mannnnnn what happened with artest getting into player's head? after that lil brawl artest was on the mession to prove something ... he kept on taking and taking and taking bad shots ..... Artest gets to emotionally. If his shot is off he cant do anything. But he thinks he can so he keep on shooting. Mannnnnn wafer on the other hand can drive to the basket when he is off. he made 4 in the row and yet rockets dint go to him at the end mannn adelman rotation was also BADD WTF we had 11 points lead by the half. Second half lakers started to murdering our 1st line up and yet adelman waited until 3 min left to sub? mannnn we had it
