[Rd2 Gm1] Houston Rockets at L.A. Lakers Game Thread

[hackle]

The better team won. No excuses here.. we didn't execute, and Clutch City prevailed.

Good win for the Rox!

Thanks man. This series is going to be classic. We hope we can win within 5, but another 7 game series between Rick and Phil could just be classic. However, it's all for us fans to enjoy.

@ Yao's post game interview. He gets a lot of flack but I'm rooting for this guy. True class act that has had a lot of unfortunate injuries. Glad to see he was OK after that collision

Congrats on the win.

Maybe a 1995 Finals rematch except with the opposite results.

If there really is a God, you guys will win this series.

Since Vuljacic (sp?) frustrated Wafer so much tonight and threw him off his game, do you think Barry's minutes are going to increase even more in game 2?

Hell no , we need Wafer's scoring , he just wasn't ready because he is used that players respect his speed , I believe he will bounce back we just need to put him in position to attack right away , he can get by Vujacic easily.

But if he doesn't get it together , I like Lowry , Brooks together.

Wolves fan here

Battier is **** awsome

[6_Rings]

whoa The Sleeping Giant awakens.

Yao will be unstoppable the rest of the playoffs.

here's hoping for a Finals rematch of Magic vs Rockets

[Twizman]

Go Rockets!!!

[Ribalding]

I'm still in shock.

Is it just me, or did the Lakers look like they simply didn't give a damn?

Even after the game, Phil Jackson was aww shuck'ing it at his press conference. "No big thing. We're still supremely confident. blah blah". I hope he stays so vapid.

The Lakers are prideful. And the pride cometh before the fall.


P.S. - Listening to the TNT game crew is like listening to the Lakers AM radio crew. What a bunch of Laker homers. They're loathe to say anything good about the Rockets. At one point, they were criticizing a Rocket made free throw....for not being made "right". "He could have made that better."

Huh? Better?

[DynastySS]

Anyone post the interviews yet?

Thanks

Ok, I officially hate Kobe (decided the game thread was a better place for this)



The appropriate term, I believe, is "chickenfeces motherfellating anal wart"
(given that it's playoffs, feel free to delete/further censor this comment, but maybe just diluting the language like this is good enough)

[RaoulDuke79]

Look, you got it all wrong. It's clearly Suga Shane's fault for trying to get up, nothing more. He obviously was curious what Kobe's knee tastes like, and who can blame him? It looks pretty appetizing from down there, no doubt.

And I believe that "chickenfeces motherfellating anal wart" is merely a less amazing way of saying "piss-screw jiggle lantern", but to each his own I reckon.

BUNNY EDIT: GB thread about that play = good times: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=902837&start=45

Silly supaflash.

[moofs]

Amen. And supaflash is somewhat slightly deluded, or as a friend of mine would say, diluted.

The dude is worst than KG, picks on honest and reasonable guys.

What? KG does that kind of thing too? I frown greatly.

low blow, but you know no way Kobe gets a 1 game suspension for that elbow

[WadeKnicks2010]

Gratz Houston, Gratz Yao! BEAT LA!

[Iggyemu]

Kobe giving him the business.

[Rendezvous]
