As much as I like the win, I don't like the Rockets performance in 4th quarter. only if Rockets can maintain the 20~29 points lead, it will destroy Lakers psychologically. But now Lakers knows they can make a comeback on 4th quarter at long as it is less than 20 points. Prop to Phil Jackson make adjustment quickly withing a game. Reason why he got many rings. Still, solute to the Rockets fighting spirit. And all 15 players showed up today and BEAT LA. What a game.
WALA WALA is an LA fan. Are you kidding me. We are supposed to keep 29 points over the Lakers w/o Yao and Tmac. You should never bet in Vegas. Prudence, prudence.
Wow great win but tarnished by a wretched fourth quarter. No lead is safe with the Rockets. At one point I thought, they are going to set some kind of record and blow a 30 point lead. Good grief that was scary, and Luis can you please make your freethrows. As awful as Ron shot, he might go to LA and drop 40 on them. This series is goofy.
Shane gives GREAT post-game interviews... He said he's gonna frame the box-score of tonight's game and Kobe's stats in his house. lol
that's where we differ. ab will improve play-making ability? maybe a little, but not fundamentally. 7 assists a game? my bet is under. no, he will never get there. it's like yao will never avg. 3 blocks a game.
When Adelman had those great teams in Sactown, bibby never had over 5 asst a game. In portland, clyde was the asst man and he was at 6 or 7 except the year when they were scoring 120 and porter avg 10 and clyde 8. Its not as important as to making better fluid decisions vs asst. Like i said in another theead, when was the last time a guy averaged over 7 asst at the pg and won a title.Magic in the 80's. When was the last time a high assist guy went to the finals? Kidd with nj and stockton before then. How many titles they have? Exactly.
Well, I never though about that. Guess I should change my nick name. to NOLANOLA. God knows I have to put up so much $%#@@ from LA fan in my office. My concern is, since the Bulls game they made a comeback from 17 points in 6 minutes. Teams will always fight to to last minutes because they know they have a chance to beat Rockets. As Bettier said early this season" a great team does not give the lead back"
I am proud of the team.. Brooks did a great job tonight.. Brooks and Battier got us the win tonight... One concern though, it seems like the Phil Jackson was trying to come up with a strategy for Game 5 in the 4th quarter...
if we have another wing player as a play maker (ala mcgrady), or we have a few players all can make plays like the old kings, then ab can start no problem. but with yao, we now have ab, ron, shane start. none of them is really good at play-making like the kings. that's where our problems come from.
