GameThread: Rockets @ Lakers; 8:30 CST

Houston Rockets at Los Angeles Lakers, Nov 15, 2009 8:30 PM CST




Your Rockets take on the Los Angeles Lakers againt this evening. I have no idea if anyone else is going to post a preview, and I've got a paper to write (I get to quote Steve Kerr's dad!), so I'll make it quick.

The Lakers were blown out at home on Friday, and conventional wisdom (and that feeling in my bones) tells me that they'll come out firing tonight. At the same time, the Rockets lost to the Kings in Sacramento after their offense didn't perform to expectations and their defense blew. Both teams have something to prove. The Rockets need to show that they really are the team that started the season so strong, and the Lakers need to regain their status as the top team in the West.

And if you're a betting man/woman, I'd go with the "over" tonight.

You know (and jesus christ I need to stop watching this and get back to writing)

as much as I hate the Lakers, I really like their commentators. NBA team commentators frankly suck. They’re, almost to a man, unapologetic homers, annoying, or probably both.

But, along with the Knicks’ broadcasters, the Lakers’ duo has always seemed pretty good to me. They’re one of the few opposing voices I don’t mind hearing on League Pass.

Ariza can jump higher than Bryant on his shot.

shit

this is nothing.

Last year, I had this research paper I had to write on Stakhanovism during Stalin’s rule. between 15 and 20 pages. It was due the Tuesday after I got back from Thanksgiving, so I (naturally) waited until Thanksgiving to start writing. To be fair, I actually had all the research done, I just hadn’t done anything with it. I didn’t write anything all of Thanksgiving break, so when I got back (Saturday), I promised myself that I’d write the paper Sunday and Monday.

Sunday I spent the day playing videogames and watching basketball with friends, so I didn’t get anything done that day. Monday, I get back from classes around 4:30 and start writing…

… for all of about twenty minutes. The Texans’ first MNF game was that night, so I watched that. The game is done around 10:00, I get back from where I was watching the game around 10:30. I resolve to stay up all night to get that thing done.

I found out a lot of interesting things that night. Namely that roommate apparently didn’t sleep at night, instead spending the hours from 11:00 to 4:00 on the phone with people in China.

Got an A, natch.

The scary thing is that he's a terrific shooter from just inside the 3 point line

when he gets the range down, he’ll be dangerous from 3 point land.

Anyone? I thought he was fine.

Go on, try to beat them. Try to score on them. Stay in front of those guards. Try to tap out an offensive rebound on that Lilliputian front line. They're so awful, you're so good ... go on. Beat ‘em. - Kelly Dwyer on The Rockets

Hell yeah!

Go Rockets!

Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.

The thing I like is Ariza shot bad but man Fisher takes the cake

He’s awful

"It's who we are," Battier said. "I don't think we're going to get the love of the six foot blonde bombshell. That's what the Lakers are here for. It's alright, I like our demographic."

He looks like one of those shriveled gas station hot dogs that's been rolling around for about three months.

He’s way past done.

Career game for AB

definitely should be that way, given Fisher’s defensive prowess.

Lets hope Lakers don't address their PG issue

hope they don’t get CP3 in a Gasol type of trade

I can just see it now

Menga and Morrison for CP3

CP3 and a first rounder. Let's be a little fair to poor LA.

Go on, try to beat them. Try to score on them. Stay in front of those guards. Try to tap out an offensive rebound on that Lilliputian front line. They're so awful, you're so good ... go on. Beat ‘em. - Kelly Dwyer on The Rockets

Hopefully, the Hornets are run by…

… smarter people than the ones running the Grizzlies.

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

Hope this translates to more wins! Very great weekend! pacquiao wins! Rockets wins!

Plus the Patriots lose a crushing heartbreaker and the Horns roll towards the title game.

A good win for the Rockets..

They kept their composure, and kept the Lakers off balance throughout the game..

Yet another game where four Rockets scored in double digits, and a good distributed scoring. Scola/Battier sort of disappeared, although Battier made a key steal, and a good pass inside in the last few minutes to seal the deal..

No.

And I don’t care. I just want the “W”, and of course that look of despair and disbelief the Lakers showed us tonight.

Go on, try to beat them. Try to score on them. Stay in front of those guards. Try to tap out an offensive rebound on that Lilliputian front line. They're so awful, you're so good ... go on. Beat ‘em. - Kelly Dwyer on The Rockets

I just want some news on the Rockets when I go to nba.com

Right now not even a peep … tsk tsk

We’ll make them eat their disrespect before this season is over.

We won thanks to our bench...

And the fact that the Lakers’ is almost non-existent

Yes - depth kills.

All Hail Morey.

Go on, try to beat them. Try to score on them. Stay in front of those guards. Try to tap out an offensive rebound on that Lilliputian front line. They're so awful, you're so good ... go on. Beat ‘em. - Kelly Dwyer on The Rockets

We needed this bad before the next 4 brutal games,

if we can keep this up we may just slow down the suns

What a game.

Oh, those Houston Rockets.

Wouldn’t it be great if Houston managed to get the 8th seed and got to face the Lakers in the playoffs 1st round?

I especially like how the Rockets didn’t get blown completely out of the building…

… and give up when they were down 14 points early in the 1st quarter…
