Re: Rockets @ Lakers 1/3/12 Game Thread
those girls look like midgets.
great thread nonetheless. Not going to lie though, this game looks like it's going to be ugly.

Re: Rockets @ Lakers 1/3/12 Game Thread
Center: i like our center rotation between Hill and Dalembert. Hill has really showed a lot early this season, rebounding, defending, and playing aggressive on offense (offensive rebounds and putbacks). Dalembert has looked good defensively. Should be a good matchup with Bynum.
4: We know what we get from Scola offensively and his weaknesses on the other end.
3: Budinger has struggled, T Will has looked good early in the season. Specially on games like this when you have a wing like Kobe, it would be ideal to have that wing defender that you put on the opposing teams best wing scorer night in and night out.
2: We know what we get from Martin offensively and his weaknesses on the other end. We know what we get from Lee, solid off the bench. We need to get Martin going early. They have had struggles to their starting 3, and Barnes a good defender will be guarding Martin.
1: Lowry is out best player hands down. Offensively he is a very solid floor general, can hit the 3, drive to the basket and finish. Defensively he is a very energetic player and a solid defender at his position. He is simply a solid NBA starter. Dragic is a good point off the bench. I can't believe Fisher is still a starting point guard in the NBA. Lets exploit the biggest mismatch in our favor and that is our best player versus their weakest link Lowry - Fisher.

Re: Rockets @ Lakers 1/3/12 Game Thread
center: Bynum is going to abuse Hill, I can see two quick fouls in under 2 min
power forward: as always, Scola can't guard Gasol
small forward: World Peace is going to dominate Budinger
shooting guard: like Martin can guard people
point guard: Fisher is going to flow Lowry to the bench

During this game, I'll be on a plane bound for Utah. (Yes, they have to actually 'bind' me to get me to go there, but that's another discussion.)
Anybody got a street address for Stockton? I've got a present for him.

I went to Utah two years ago to snowboard and I felt so dirty being there, but we went to a jazz game and I went in my hakeem jersey and rooted against the jazz. It made me feel better, maybe you can try that?
