    You can start Drew off the Bench, but Pau needs his minutes cut if he keeps playing like that. I agree that Pau and Drew should not be on the floor at the same time, ideally, at least when Yao is out there.

    I think Odom and Bynum should do damage.

    Phil has trust issues with Bynum, and certainly didn't expect Gasol's worst game this entire post-season. He basically put his trust in the seasoned vet over the young dude who got into foul trouble again in the first quarter.

    The difference is Drew bounced back but Phil was slow to react.

    The Rockets would like nothing more than to see more Bynum, less Odom, in this series. Lamar Odom is a serious matchup problem for Houston. Yao would LOVE to be guarded by Andrew Bynum for most of the game.

    With Pau struggling like that, we should still see more Bynum though. He's been logging a bit too many minutes as it is.

    Keep Lamar out there, I just hope he can freaking hit a free throw from here on out.

    Re: Round 2: Lakers vs. Rockets Series Thread (Houston leads 1-0)

    Wasn't talking about you in particular. Just the team itself and the excuses its fans use to explain a loss.

    And that sig of mine yesterday was the first Rockets wallpaper I found on google. Seeing Mamba's bitch 40 times on a page was pissing me off, so I looked for a wallpaper to put in mine. Don't be such a conspiracy theorist. :D

    You call that sig annoying? Step your game up, your shit was weak. I have a fast internet and just loaded that shit up like whoa.

    I don't think people were making excuses...

    Kinda late but let's put it this way, the reason Kobe and co. didn't acknowledge what the other team did to beat them is because they all know how good they are (talent - wise i think). they know that they have a stacked lineup and the best in the NBA. Honestly, does any team feel that they can beat the Lakers this season IF the Lakers are playing their A game? That's right, i don't think so. The Lakers have so good a lineup that the outcome really depends on how they play.

    Re: Round 2: Lakers vs. Rockets Series Thread (Houston leads 1-0)

    Totally agree, it seemed like they went to play the game like fans-Rockets are just another team for us to walk over. Kobe didn't even shoot around before the game (yes because of his shoulder or whatever, but still a little warmup should do it)

    If you compare this game to regular season games against Cavs/Boston you can see the difference

    Well I own the Internet. And I didn't want to slow down load times, just add more scroll time.

    I don't think the Rockets will route the Lakers in LA, just win by 5 or 7 pts.

    I expect a Route in game 3 for the Rockets :ghoti:

    We should be able to get a gauge on how this game goes from the very start. If the Lakers come out attacking the rim we'll be in good shape. If the Lakers come out hesistant and start jacking up jumpers it's going to be a stressful night.

    We could go down 3-0 and I have confidence!!!!

    No, really, this is a crucial game for us. If we go down 0-2, it is more than likely all over.
