[Y! (rumor)] Lakers to play Rockets in Season Opener

oh wow. i have a bad feeling about this. Yao may not be ready and it might just discourage the team. or worse yet, he might get injured again. the lakers play "with heart" (DIRTY) when they're getting beat.

but your feeling used to be on the wrong side. Numerous times, when you feel bad, things turn good, visa versa, that's the typical you.

 

So how was ur day Ms. Negative?

Just Beleive! And it will be a great healthy year! (fingers crossed)

I thought the league wanted to protect the Lakers?

 

I was at that game. Luis Scola's 1st career game. He was REALLY hesitant and a fouling machine lol. It was after Kobe's drama about wanting to get traded, he got a few light boos at the intro but not as much as I wanted to hear. He won the fans back by single handedly carrying the team late in the 4th and almost winning by himself. Mike James actually had a good game, then fell off hard after that. The Battier three was AWESOME.

 

Umm... ring night is just the 1st home game for the Champions, it doesnt mean they can't have a 1-2 game road trip before coming back to LA for the ring ceremony. But then again, the NBA LOVES Kobe and the Lakers, so I'm assuming it probably will be in LA and i'm sure Joey Crawford will be the official as well

 

Good point. If we do play them, I still am all for it. Give them their rings, Kobe chucks away, Artest, being the hero of Game 7, tries to do it all but shoots bricks, Pau can't use his soft skills against a Mountain, and of course, Sasha crying on the bench :grin: . I'm a little wary of what damage Blake might do but hey, I'm all for it .



Bring it on.

 

Just because the first game will be on national TV doesn't change the fact that Yao should be brought back slowly. Let's hope he doesn't push himself just to win one meaningless regular season opener.

 

well i hope we dont get killed or anything. you know kobe is going to come out trying to destroy teams to make a point for miami

 

We all know the Lakers play a little dirty.
Just easy with Yao.

I don't mind, but I'd also prefer that Sasha is gone by then.

Just watching the dude makes me want to kick the neighbor's dog. Not really, but I do hate him.

 

Can't wait for this :grin:

Everytime i watch those videos, iget reminded how soft therockets are and the nba in general.

 

So WE are the sacrificial lamb. Lol.

Here's the good news folks...Lakers can't stop Aaron.

 

That literally gave me chills! I have a feeling thats how the game is gonna go on opening night again, only with Martin or Brooks hitting that three.. :grin:

 

Yeah I'm sure he gets his sources from jeffvandgundy's prediction...........the CF member.

 

that still would be over the top awesome.

 

I love how Kobe's busy pounding the floor on D as Battier calmly knocks down the game-winning three. :grin:

 

I'll say this now, save it, quote it and re-use it when the night actually comes. Fans will read way TOO much into this game.

Remember, there's a learning curve and adjustment period. If we get blown out, we'll say how much we suck. If we win, we'll say how much we rock. If it's a close game, we'll be as moderate as possible. It's a tough way to start the season IMO, but I'm happy we're getting some credit from the ****ing NBA for once. Not so happy, that it's that much credit. I like playing under the radar.

 

Yeah @ the 1st paragraph.

A 110-91 loss to the champs on ring night, and everyone will think the sky is falling. Expect the loss folks, but don't get to pissed about it.
