Rockets vs Lakers Game Thread

No Howard, Gasol or Hill. We have got to capitalize on this. Let Kobe get his and just keep forcing it down their throats.

Let's go Rockets.

If Harden scores 25, he ties the franchise record for consecutive 25 point games, right?

I'm concerned that the Lakers will take the injuries as motivation to move the ball faster as their coach wants. Luckily, the Rockets already do this, so it will be interesting to see the Lin/Nash and Harden/Bryant matchups!

Driven, you are correct.

JRA, what do you think the STARTING backcourt lines will be?

Rockets: 46/15 asst/11 rebs with 5 steals and 9 TO's
Lakers: 42/13basst/7 rebs with 3 steals and 7 TO's

Rookie mistakes are what will kill the Lakers.

Isn't funny that Lakers get one injury and all of a sudden you see a bunch of guys coming off the bench rubbing all that dust, since they never get any play time.


Houston has good back ups. I think Houston's deep roster will make this a tough one for them. Metta and Kobe are still deadly, we just got to make it tough for them to get easy shots. Even if we make them work, Kobe is still gonna make points.

So we need to hit big numbers to out match Kobe and Metta. Delfino is awesome, and Parsons is also doing good. Just wait for Harden to heat up the rocket boosters....same with LIN!

This is the Rocket team that is gonna make the playoffs and take it by storm, a threat whether 8th or 1st. I mean everyone in the west has taken Lakers from home, but this performance is amazing.

Harden, Lin, Delphino, Parson, and Asik, all had great nights. So much talent, that has so much raw ability that almost looks like experience. I mean Kobe, Nash and Metta are seasoned vets who know this game better than anyone, but can't take this one. I don't care what anyone says, they are good enough to win any team, its the fact they are getting whooped by great teams.


Morris, Patterson, Smith and Douglas, all showed that they could play great. This Rocket team has serious depth, not 10+, but 9 solid players with starter material, two of which are Super Stars with great support.

Man Harden is fun to watch. Anyone that doesn't think hes one of the very best players in the league hasn't watched a lot of rockets games

[sep11ie]

I didn't wanna know the score, but I had to check... Rockets will make noise and that triggers FA interest.

[c.c.]

5 game winning streak!

I sucked...

Rockets: 40/14/12/4/11
Lakers: 36/17/7/3/7


Actually not that bad...

Lin has been quietly playing really well... no?


The Rockets look like one of the fastest teams in the league. When they put on their track shoes it's hard to keep up.... and Harden might be blossoming into one of the top 3 shooting guards if not better.

His outside shooting has picked up in the last couple of games, hopefully Harden can break the franchise record tomorrow
