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

[bksballer89]

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

Will D'Antoni ever figure out that the Lakers going to keep doubling Harden in the 4th or will he just continue to sit on his ass and make zero adjustments to that double?

Some coaches have reps for not being good. Isn't he one of those?

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.

Yeah, that wasn't a choke anymore than game 2 was a choke. The Lakers are too big and they wear the Rockets down.

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

You actually gave credit to the Lakers? Shit, you feeling ok?

But then again I must not know anything about basketball, just like @Wamu @DJ and anyone else who dares call you out for your petty bullshit.

Not sure what he can really do about it.

The only thing I can think of is have Harden play off the ball, run the offense through Westbrook and see if Harden can get better looks that way.

The problem is...the Lakers want them to run the offense through Westbrook. That's why they're doubling Harden and they don't have anyone that they can feed the ball in the paint to make the Lakers help in the paint.

Especially with Lebron doing Mt. Mutombo impressions. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Can't we all just enjoy the win?

I am. People don't read the thread then come in here throwing shots.

 

[bksballer89]

TNT must hate the Lakers as well. They brought up the same 4th quarter statistics I said as the game was finishing

 

[trojanfan12]

Like seriously, Rondo and Caruso are out there basically bc they have no one else to put out there. Otherwise, Caruso would be handling the water and towels

I'd like to know what game you were watching. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Rondo been huge in this series.

You might want to tell that to shane. lol

 

[bksballer89]

You might want to tell that to shane. lol

That couldn't have been me who posted that. I never give the Lakers credit....

 

[trojanfan12]

It just seems excessive from him because it feels like anytime he missed a shot tonight/been called for a foul. When you complain that much in a game, hard to take you seriously

lol

He was doing that so much in the 1st half, I almost logged on just so I could post that Lebron needs to stfu.

 

[trojanfan12]

Hay Tore

This ain't nothing, you should have seen the kid back in the day, I'm actually quite impressed with BK these days, and I think he has, even in his bias, some pretty good takes.

@trojanfan12 can vouch for me on this one, BK back in the CBS days was just a kid, but that didn't stop him from trolling the Lakers game threads back then. Oh, and we always knew when he was gonna show, all it took as bad Lakers 4th and he was right on time....

 

[trojanfan12]

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

That's what happens to tired teams.

Difference is, TNT at least give the Lakers a little bit of credit for the wins...

 

[Vitamike]

Round 1 Lakers in 5 and Rockets in 7 also has it's toll that's shows up in the 4th, but I'm like you, it's mostly the Lakers size that's just gonna wear down these small ball teams...

True. But to be fair, Lakers fans and Heat fans were trolling each other pretty hard back then. No one was innocent.

Jefe101 was horrible. I don't think I ever hated a Lakers fan more in my life. Well him and Sman

Yeah, but I thought he was trolling before LBJ left for South Beach in 2010 (?) Maybe not, but that's when all that shit really hit the fan...

Who was that cat that had that Heat Haters Club thread that transferred from there to here? Something like Cliff (????)
