What a game. And it was exactly what I said before the game. I said the only chance we have of winning this one were: 1) Shane containing Kobe - and here he is 5/20 2) Brooks scoring 30+ - he had 33 3) Ariza would have a bad night - and he had. CONGRATULATIONS!
Great win tonight. Way to end our little 2 game skid. Hopefully this gives the team more confident. Wonderful game by David Andersen.
I came into this game expecting a lose and was so pleased to see the hustle tonight. It is tough to expect our team to out hustle teams for 82 games, but when we do put in that effort we can make up for our lack of size.
Great all around game from everyone tonight. AB was just nasty. He owns Fischer. C Bud was impressive too. Landry was solid. Hopefully this game boosts Andersen's confidence.
I can't really blame teammates when they do that to each other... that's how you gotta get a rebound.
Hey, Yao tweeted about this game: "A great win against the Lakers tonight in LA. I'm very proud of my teammates. Go Rockets!" Wonder when we'll see him at a home game on the bench again?
Aaron Brooks is really starting to remind me of a young Calvin Murphy. Their styles are very similar.
seems like everytime this team loses they bounce back and not let themselves have a "hangover" L @ portland W @ gs L @ lakers W @ OKC L@ dallas W @grizz L@ kings W @ lakers thats the one thing I was thinking may happen with a young team like the Rockets and considering how this team plays where so much has to go right for them every night for them to win its good to see that they are mentally tough enough to not let some tough Ls effect the way they play. hopefully they can beat phoenix tuesday and get the one in minnesota on wednesday to start a small winning streak
Well, I meant it more as in that we were supposed to go 1-1 on the road trip, it just happened in a backwards fashion.
this team never gives up. Kobe faked the injury only because our rockets had him locked up and we were killing them. by the way, Landry and Andersen OWNED Odom today. This team has talent. hopefully, tmac doesn't mess up our chemistry.
