The Official LA LAKERS thread!!

they were indeed quite flat... gasol and bynum couldnt get in a groove due to rockets pressure, their own poor play and foul trouble... no matter how well kobe plays, he cant do it on his own

With Yao in early foul trouble, you expected more from those 2!
 
At the risk of giving Chad's last post some credibility I think you're right. They were flat today, a little rusty, no momentum and only really hustling when they were trying to edge back in the game with 3 or 4 minutes left which is pretty soft considering there was little hustle throughout the game in it's entirety, just glimpses. I said it in the Utah loss in game 3 and I'll say it again for this game, don't expect another win relying on us to shoot so badly, it won't happen. And Aaron Brooks, enjoy the time you had in the paint today.... ;)

Well i couldnt agree more with ya there..Except for the Chad comment...LOL

I dont think ive seen Pau play a bad game, well for his standards so far this season except for the loss to the rockets.....

I doubt we will see Brooks run amok again in the paint..The Lake Show wont shoot that bad again.....
 
Great defence by the Rockets, Yao in early foul trouble again. Fisher really needs to get his groove back with his 3 point shooting.
 
Hows the game going Norm just got home from work....I see Kobe is lighting it up.....
Any other news??

Tech fouls everywhere! Artest ejected, fisher ejected (for a hip and shoulder on scola) and kobe every time he scores, runs up to Battier and says "You can't gaurd me!" :lol:
 
Not a terrible result from the Rockets considering Yao only has 12, and Kobe has 40 not to mention Gasol has a decent game too.

Anyway Artest probably should've got a foul called on the Kobe elbow but he should have just kept playing. Derek Fisher's anyone see that? That was very uncharacteristic and in my opinion pretty random? It's not like he was trying to fight through the screen, he saw Scola come in his peripheral vision and just floored him - why?

Cause the lakers are a dirty team.
Hopefully Fisher get suspended for at least 1 game!!! But the NBA will probably willn't do it cause the are laker homers.
I mean it was uncharacteristic for Fisher in the past but he's way past his prime and I think he just realised it.
Kobe just have had an offensive foul call but once again Joey Crawford bends houston over, just like game 2 of the first round. (What a joke, Why does he make it so obvious that the league sends him to do this to houston) I bet if Houston take their home games we will see Javie and Joey Crawford ref the next games and give the Rockets no calls and Yao cop the worst foul calls of all time!!!

Jim it is a bad result for the Rockets coz they lost by 14 or so....So im not sure what your getting at there...I just saw the Fisher hit on Scola...HE must have just thought bugger this im going through this screen....No really sure what he was thinking tho...

Not really sure how you figure they are a Dirty Team mate??Did you not see Artest have his forearm on the back of Kobe's neck??
How blame the Ref's all you want ..Rockets got out played today and probably get 1 more game in this series...

Simple fact is that the Rockets didnt play well and Yao needs to stop committing stupid fouls
