but they should not have relied on perimeter shooting only in the final minutes.

I think this whole intentional foul sequence

just makes less and less sense the more I think about it. Should the strategy of intentionally fouling to gain an advantage in the closing minutes (or elsewhere, as with hack-a-shaq) be eliminated?

this is just boring basketball

by Only_A_Lad on May 12, 2009 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not criticizing the coaches for doing it

I’m criticizing the league for allowing it. In virtually all other situations, fouling is a bad thing. But in the closing minutes of the game, teams suddenly gain an advantage by breaking the rules and slowing the game down to nothing. It’s neither interesting basketball nor an interesting strategic situation.

C'mon Rockets

Pull the biggest upset in NBA history, even if it comes at the expense of our Warriors taking out the Mavericks. Take down the Lakers and their annoying bandwagon ass nation

by Golden Boy on May 12, 2009 9:39 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

that would be a tough call

team missing virtually all of its stars beating the #1 seed, or a team barely above .500 beating a 67 win team.

by Only_A_Lad on May 12, 2009 9:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

With Yao

It wouldn’t be an upset at all. But this is a small ball team taking out a juggernaut. Not just a juggernaut, but a juggernaut with 2 seven footers.

it’s called emotion by Houston on Sunday, Lakers shot poorly, and played poor defense. Those combined led to a big lead by Houston on Sunday (which the Lakers whittled down to 12 by the end). What’s Houston’s reason?

the Rockets are getting beat by a great team that’s on fire. The Lakers were destroyed by a team with no one making more than $8 million.

you guys played with big emotion

and the Lakers offense was BEYOND terrible. Even had they played decent defense, Houston was still gonna win.

Now that LA has made it’s adjustments, I can’t see Houston winning another game. Besides, who really believed that fury of emotion would carry through for another 2-3 games?

I said they would

I predicted a Game 4 loss, before Yao even went down. When he went down, I was even MORE sure Houston would win. Teams ALWAYS play better when they’re against the wall, a superstar goes down (Houston is a great example of this), and at home.

back against the wall

As in, everyone expected them to get swept. Getting 1 game was no real hard feat, the first game after Yao going down. Try to carry that emotion for 3-4 games over 6 to 8 days… not gonna happen.

is Bynum in the game setting a screen on the low block for Gasol to flash to the top of the key, where he can take the open jumper, or toss it in to Bynum would should have GREAT position to simply turn around and dunk the ball. If none of that is available, find Kobe on the elbow for the jumper.

Dude stop making excuses

Why is it always LA’s fault that they lose. Why is it so hard to give the rockets some credit?

by erod on May 12, 2009 11:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I give Houston credit for Game 4

Lakers came out complacent, which is why they went down BIG. Even had their offense been even close to it’s normal self, and our defense even close to average, Lakers still would have lost. Not with that much emotion, in a close game? No way Lakers would have won. Houston was on fire, they were dead set on winning the game, and nothing LA could do would stop it. LA’s own faults, mistakes, and misplays is what turned a potential close loss into a rout.

That was some shitty credit

That was like saying, I’m not racist BUT …

The whole post was pretty much about how the Lakers didnt do things right. Not really giving credit except when you said they were on fire. Not enough man. They did way more.

it's called turnabout is fairplay

Lakers fans got tired of hearing people dispute the “What if Bynum was healthy” talk by all fans… so some want to then dismiss those who reason that injuries is why they lost…. while others understand because they fully remember last season

and yes, Yao > Bynum by far. But Bynum is key to alot of things the Lakers do. Not offensively, but defensively.

I… despite the ass whupping, watched thru the entire game on Sunday. As such, I was proud to see the Lakers make spirited effort in the 4th to pull it to a respectable deficit. The Lakers everyone else seems to think this team is would have lost by 40 or more. This one didn’t, and it made me quite happy. The first 3 quarters were an embarassment, but the 4th was a nice breath of fresh air.

Wade loves Miami, and Riley is already trying to lock him up. Although I’ve spent all season arguing with Bulls fans who think that simply because he’s from Chicago he’ll come running back (plus to play with Rose).
