This could be the last game of the season for Houston and the Rockets are without three key players. Nothing short of a miracle will stop the Lakers from sending the Rockets home tonight. I've only seen Scola, and Landry do well in an elimination game, but I hope Artest, Battier, and Brooks come to play. May the best team win, GO ROCKETS!
That 2006 NBA draft changed the Rockets team so much. Brooks, Scola, and Landry are the Rockets young future. Rockets lead 74-65 after 3. GO ROCKETS!
Can't say enough about the Rockets, being able to force a game 7 being so underhanded. I know the focus will be all on how the Lakers didn't show up, but I wish the national media would just give this team more credit. The Rockets may not have the most talent, but they're overflowing in heart. I love this team.
You guys are fucking fighters. Incredible. I would not be surprised to see you guys take game 7, you have stuck it out. This series has upset written all over it.
Unbelievable. Game seven in LA, second round. Could you ask for more as a Rockets team without 2 of your big 3? Battier and Artest have been great defensively, but Kobe will come out game 7 and expect to see him blow up for 40 points.
I'm tired of some of these Rocket "fans" continuosly saying we're going to lose, Lakers will blow us out, Kobe will score 40 points. I mean common, its Game 7, anything is capable of happening. Rockets are looking hungrier than the Lakers, they might just carry their energy into Staples Center. It will take obviously another great game from Brooks, Scola, and Battier but I really think our chances are good. Rockets know they are capable of beating this team as they have done it twice without Yao Ming, and also remember, they have beaten the Lakers in L.A. We can't look at what the Lakers can do JUST BECAUSE they are at home, we have to look at what the Rockets can do as well. Again great effort by Los Angeles in the 3rd quarter, but awesome game by Landry/Scola/Brooks/Battier.
Kobe will score 40, but how many shots will he take to get them? The fact is if you can guard Kobe with 1 man, he won't pass/create offense unless he scores himself. He only really dishes it when he has 2 players on him, but if Artest or Battier is giving him a contested shot, he will take it because he can make it. Tonight, he took 27 shots to score 32 points with barely any assists. Rockets are some bad mother fuckers, and they know how to play. Anything can happen in game seven, true, but remember this is game seven against the number one team in the west starring Kobe Bryant in LA. This Sunday, expect one helluva game.
I expect a blow out win for the Lakers on Sunday. Your not going to come into LA and win a game 7. You got blown out by 40 last time. This will be a 10+ win for the Lakers. And Kobe creates for his teammates even if he isn't getting his. Stop talking about 2005 Kobe.
I expect anything to happen on Sunday. Lakers win by 30, or even a Rockets win in double over-time. Game 7, where amazing happens. Where NBA champs happen. The Rockets will come in with more heart, the Lakers will come in with more talent. Expect the unexpected.
