Picture(s) for the Game.



I need to figure out some better molds for a gamethread.

Nice Shane Battier picture. Let's see if Man can handle the Rapist.

Those RPD's really know how to handle those balls................

Will the league let us wear the Bobcat's uniform for this game, we might be able to pull a win out of that oraface on the lower part of the human anatomy!!!!!!!

not sure what our chances are but eh GO ROCKETS!

lakers by 20

It would be a huge confidence booster if we beat the Lakers in LA.

I don't expect anything, national stage, at LA, and the continuation of the Artest-Kobe trash talk, the game should be good, but I'm not expecting anything.

Nice format, i borrowed it btw

nicest post in quite a while

we always have good chance against the lakers.

The only question at this point is whether Von Wafer will score 40 or 50.

atleast be reasonable... Before tipoff in NBA Live.

I just hope that Kobe's not still pissed at Artest for talking smack.

on the front page of nba.com it shows Kobe guarding T-Mac as a preview of tonight's game

I don't know what to think of that

I expect the Ron Artest show tonight...and we'll lose by 10+.....

Yao's gonna take it easy this game like he's been doing the past 3-4 games. Let's hope the role players can finally step up and win a game. I know that's what Adelman is trying to do. Trying to get the role players to step up and win a game without using Yao too much. I mean, we almost got a win in PHX using that method, but this is LA. After the first 5-6 possessions, we'll be able to tell if RA really wants to win this game or is still experimenting.

I like this strategy b/c it gets the role players into the game and puts the pressure on them the whole game, instead of just the 4th quarter when they double/triple Yao. This will hopefully reduce the "deer in the headlights" reaction that Brooks, Artest, Scola get at the end of games in the playoffs.

It's going 2 be a hell of a game tonight rocket fans. (KOBE VS ARTEST) Good luck for tonight.

Good luck Rockets fans. You guys are my dark horse favorite to come out of the West.
