Series Thread: 2nd Round: LA Lakers vs Houston Rockets

[bksballer89]

No direction from this offense when things get rough late in games. Just freestyle basketball.

WOW! That was a hellofa shot by RW over AD!!!

 

[Vitamike]

Kuuuuuuuuzzzzz

Rockets fans should be livid with this 4th quarter performance.

agreed...

they look disjointed out there...

 

[bksballer89]

The difference in the series been the 4th quarter. That's the difference between Houston being up 3-0 and now down 1-2

You think there is 1 set play in D'Antoni play book?

 

[Vitamike]

Lakers need to take this next game at Houston and close this thing out at LA.....

 

[bksballer89]

Rockets scored a total of 37 points in the last two 4th quarters. Outscored by 10 in the 4th of game 2 and 3.

They entered game 2 up 2 going to the 4th and it was tied tonight.

That's horrible

4th quarter chokers like I said and you got panties all ruffled....

Fucking LBJ. Dude is almost 36 and he's playing like he's still in his prime. Truly amazing when you think about it.

Also, outside of LBJ and AD this Lakers roster is pretty bad. Sheesh.

We are watching greatness with LeBron. MJ wasn't this good at this age.

Small Ball is hard to keep up with in the 4th of Playoff Basketball. Especially with the size the Lakers have....

 

[msgkings322]

Rondo with 19....

Like @trojanfan12 said, if any player steps up to be the third guy to go with the big 2, Lakers win that game. Tonight it was Rondo's turn.

 

[bksballer89]

Not everything is a choke. People here use the word choke way too often and incorrectly. IMO, choke requires you to have a large lead and blowing it. Losing a game that was tied/you were up 2 going to the 4th isn't close to being a choke.

Need a coach with a real half court offense when freestyle basketball starts to struggle

Much better 2nd half than first. They stopped messing around with various zones and different looks and just decided to hard double Harden pretty much the entire time, forcing Houston to play thru Westbrook. And Houston is not good when they play thru Westbrook. Monster game by Lebron all around too. And we got that "playoff Rondo" game that's he's good for about 1 a season every where he's been.

Yep, people forget how truly different playoff games are from regular season. It's almost another sport.

I see it is still physically impossible for you to say the Lakers played well.

I suppose ‘Rockets played bad’ is as close as we’ll get.

That's why they need some size. Especially in the playoffs. If the 3's aren't falling their half court offense is easy to defend because they don't have a threat in the paint.

Let's just ignore the credit I gave the Lakers bench in game 2 and I literally said tonight "RONDO IS WINNING THE GAME"

Clown shit as always from you
