Wow. Not only did they lose, they got bent over the Kitchen sink and repeatedly penetrated, then traded for a pack of cigarettes. They really cant contain Aaron Brooks? Kobe 11/27? 1/5 from the 3? Really?
Yet for some reason I still can't pick Houston to win this series. I just don't get it though how can they fluctuate like this? I just don't get it, talent wise the blow the Rockets out the water. Is it erally just the adjustments? Ok fine they switch farmer for fisher, would that have saved them from a 15 point loss?
If I were a Laker fan I would probably commit arson right now.
Man im gonna have to really pack the bong tonight to help me forget about this one. I have no idea what to expect from the Lakers anymore. I'm sure we'll show up for game 7 but we have put ourselves in a very dangerous situation now.
Phil has to take some blame in this one, Jesus how can he not see Fisher is a detriment to the team now? He's blind loyalty could come back and bite us in the ass. Sasha deserves no minutes at all, if he's not bricking jumpers he's fouling 30ft from the hoop putting us in the penalty. Why sit Kobe for so long in the 4th? After a nice little run by the bench we started to stagnate on offense and he kept Kobe out another couple of minutes and we'd lost momentum. I know he has 9 rings but at some point you have to ask if he is out thinking himself.
Full credit to the Rockets, i know it sounds like the Lakers let them win but the Rockets showed great character to withstand our runs. They play the way you want your team to play and the way i wish the Lakers would play, there is no excuse for the Lakers to play so lackadaisical in a game like this. Houston is gonna be tough next year when they are healthy, T-Mac and Yao should help with their scoring draughts.
Now i'm off to see Mary Jane. 😮💨

Throw it inside to Dwight, double team comes...can get off a better shot. That's what I meantWe chatted earlier in the year about the leadership and the All Star play of Nelson
IMO, wat can help Dwight in the off season, if he works on a nice 15 foot shot and teams will stop the double team. Baby and Perkins...tats a 600 lb tag team
Any free agents, u guys looking for
Ah. Well, it's been a problem for the Magic against the Celtics. They got bigger guys and bigger guys present problems for Dwight. He can't out-muscle them and he tends to rush his shot. He also doesn't pass the ball out very often under pressure. He's still green in a lot of ways, but to his credit, the Magic/Gundy needs to run plays that gives Dwight more breathing room.
Though, in last Nights game, a very determined Dwight showed up and a good thing too. Without his performance the game probably would've gone the other way. Boston's D was tough from 1st to 4th and the rest of the Magic starters were less than big. Lewis missed a lot of easy shots, for example.
And as you're saying, Dwight is a limited player. He doesn't have much depth. He really needs to work on his mid-range game as well as his free throws.
And as for new agents... I've heard talk of Turk going/staying and people talking about Gorat being traded as well, but just by hearsay through Magic fans and nothing else.
I like Turk, but I'd much prefer someone else that has a better I.Q. with solid ability at the starting position. E.g. Someone more consistent and not such a liability. Turk would be better as a role player, unfortunately there's no one better to start.
