Point Guard
Brooks/Lowry vs. Fisher/Brown/Farmar - Up,down,up,down, so is the life of a group of young point guards. Brooks and Lowry have looked unstoppable at times in these playoffs, and at other times they've made it look like Rafer Alston is a better choice (say it ain't so!). Currently, with no Yao or Tracy, the Rockets need offense. Without that offense coming from the point guard slot all is lost. Both players match up well with LA, however it's been their decision making that has made the biggest difference (other than LA just having more firepower) in the losses this series. When they make good, solid decisions, the Rocket have a great chance to win. Whether that be coming to the ball instead of letting a teammate throw an errant pass, or not letting Ron Artest run the offense, or having the confidence that their shot is going to fall, or driving to the basket, those are the decisions that help them win, lose or get blown out. Fisher/Brown/Farmar are just not an impressive bunch. Yes, there is some talent in the latter two, and a veteran presence in the former, but they cannot beat Brooks and Lowry if the two of them decide not to be beaten.
Edge: Rockets - It's on these two guys' shoulders
Shooting Guard
Battier/Wafer/Artest vs. Bryant/Vujacic - Kobe Bryant IS that good. He's that good of an offensive and defensive player. Right now I think he's the 5th to 8th best player of all time. I'm not exaggerating and it's really funny to me that since people don't like him personally they denigrate his greatness. The guy is basically perfect as a basketball player. He is the closest thing to a replacement for Michael Jordan that has ever played in the NBA. Bryant is also possibly the only guy in the league that works harder at his game and physical ability than Yao Ming, and that's really saying something. He's the reason Lebron James went supernova this year as well. James watched his work ethic during the team USA run to the gold and has emulated him ever since. With all that said, as much as Kobe haters delude themselves about how great he is, Kobe/Laker lovers delude themselves about how much of an impact Shane Battier has on him. Yes, Kobe still gets his points; he may even shoot a high percentage. That's all well and good, but here's what you aren't noticing; Shane makes him work harder than any player in the league can even dream of, much less actually do. And what made Game 4 a blowout wasn't only Brooks and Battier scoring, it was Chuck Hayes coming over for help defense on an already flustered Bryant. And yes, Kobe has been flustered, he has no other reason to try and taunt Battier. Save your argument, smarter basketball minds than you and I agree with me. It's just the way it is. You should thank Shane; it means that if the Lakers get by the Rockets, Kobe will be that much better as the offense comes to him so much easier.
Edge: Lakers - Come on, it's Kobe Bryant for goodness sake
Small Forward
Artest/Battier vs. Ariza/Powell - Ron, Ron, Ron, or should I say Ron-Ron? This is your battle to win man. You have the ability, you have the basketball intelligence, it's just odd how you turn that part of your game on and off. This playoff run has been mostly due to you, your shot selection and focus has been off the charts. That is, until Game 5. I know, the game was out of hand and you tried to do too much, I'm cool with it. Now it's time to rein it back in and try to get this to a Game 7, where, yes, anything can happen. Trevor Ariza, or Lamar Odom at the 3, or even Josh Powell don't matter. You can take all of them. You can post all of them but Odom up. Let's give it a shot. Less three pointers, more driving the lane and more dishing the ball. Your passing is underrated and people are finally starting to see how good you are at it. Let's show them a little more? Okay big guy?
Edge: Rockets
Power Forward
Scola/Landry/Cook vs. Gasol/Odom/Powell - Luis Scola has been a bit MIA this series. He's been hesitant with his shot, something we didn't see in the first round and his defense has dropped off. This needs to be a game where he goes off, 7-10 or so with some spin moves that get Gasol into foul trouble. Get Gasol to the bench early and the Rockets could build a lead. And speaking of Gasol, I would like to openly admit that this series has made me come around on him. I still don't particularly "like him" but I have a healthy amount of respect for him that wasn't there before. He's the only guy other than Bryant that has come to play night in and night out. His motor is silent, but deadly. If Odom plays a lot at the 4, then I expect to see big minutes from Landry. He'll slide to defending the Lakers SF and Artest will guard Odom. That lineup is very much in the Rockets favor.
Edge: Lakers
Center
Hayes/Scola vs. Bynum/Gasol/Mbegna - Bynum has been predictably decent with no true center, or Chuck Hayes on the court. He hasn't blown me away, but to be fair to the guy, he's playing on 75% of a knee. But this matchup comes down to this: Can Chuck Hayes stay out of foul trouble? If he can, this game will be within the Rockets reach late. If he can't, it could be another huge loss. Hayes' defense on Gasol, Odom and Bryant has been nothing short of phenomenal, when he's able to stay on the court. In LA he was taken out by the refs (I won't argue this) and he needs to know in Game 6 what he can and can't get away with. You know what would be the perfect ending to this game? Chuck Hayes sinking the game winning free throws.
Edge: Lakers - But Chuck can sway it his way
Prediction: Rockets win, potentially on a last second shot to send shivers of doubt through LA. Or maybe it will be false confidence, I'd actually rather that.

Hoping for a Game 7
I’m not really sure what to expect from tonight’s game. I can see the Lakers coming and just dominating us, and ending the series. I can also see the Rockets coming out strong and having another Game 4. I’m hoping the Rockets can win, since almost everything seems to be in our favor.
-Home court adv.
-Fuel from the blowout
-Lakers’ complacency = they might slack off this game since they aren’t expecting much from us after the last game
Well, it should be an interesting game tonight. Looking forward to it, and also this is a really well-written game preview. A very accurate analysis.

umm
You totally forgot Luke Walton at SF and PF. Walton’s defense on Artest as been an eye opener for both sides. Even us Lakers fans, who always knew Walton was a decent HELP defender, but not a good one on one defender, are shocked.
And btw, Powell does not ever, ever, EVER play SF. Not one time this season.
by tandur on May 14, 2009 11:03 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
well
Against the Rockets much smaller lineup, you might see Powell at SF if he plays at all…
Luke Walton hasn’t been a factor in any series since 2004. And that was only for Game 2 against the Pistons.
by grungedave on May 14, 2009 11:18 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's my bad though, I keep forgetting to add him back in
And Luke’s defense has nothing to do with Artest’s poor shooting. That’s called shot selection and missing shots. He was wide open for Game 4 the entire way through

Walton
LOL…. You actually believe he stopped Artest. The best defense he can do is give Artest enough space so he feels comfortable to shoot.

Artest is comfortable to shoot WHILE playing defense

To me it's pretty simple
if the rockets’ shots fall more easily
(which seems likely since they’re at home)
and if the Lakers pick up quick fouls
(which also seems more likely in Houston)
then it should be an interesting game
otherwise the Lakers will take it easily.

Artest is the key.
Ron Ron was brought in to be the #3 of our Big 3. The first two are now out, and this is now Ron’s teams. Ron loves being THE STAR of a team, and now he has it. He didnt like coming off the bench in the beginning of the season, he had trouble adjusting to deferring to Yao and T-Mac, and now he finally doesnt have too. He need to be extremely aggressive in the opening minutes with his drives. If he can get going by making some layups early and getting confidence back in his scoring, the Rockets can win, otherwise we will lose. If he has a big game it doesnt assure a win, but if he has a bad game, it assures a loss.
Game 1 100-92 Rockets
Game 2 111-98 lakers
Game 3 108-94 lakers
Game 4 99-87 Rockets
Game 5 lakers
lakers lead series 3-2

Ron-Ron is the Key, I Agree
But the Chuck Wagon must also stay out of foul trouble. Brooks must play with confidence and put points on the board early. And defense, defense, defense….

Kinda shows how thin LA's bench is
I kept wondering why Phil Jackson keeps playing an overpaid forward who suddenly can’t hit wide open shots anymore. Then I realized the alternative to playing Walton would be playing Morrison, and once again I reminded myself to never doubt the Zen master.

Landry was such a steal it's not funny. Morey > Presti I guess
Rights to Landry for 2008 second round pick (#56 Sasha Kaun – who now plays for CSKA Moscow), cash from Seattle.
When his contract was up, made him the QO and matched a half-assed offer sheet by the Bobcats for 3 years a $3 million. Good job Rockets.

Im a die hard laker fan… and after watching game 4 and 6…. you could only blame so much on the officials. The only thing id appreciate from the refs is a fair game, if you let houston play physical, which that freak lookin scola said after the 1st or 2nd quarter, then be consistent and allow l.a to play the same type of game, i mean you got wrinkle dome guarding kobe, and he’s constantly bodying him up. And thats fine, but let the lakers do the same thing on the other side.
But regardless of the poor officiating, we just got beat, again, and after this game. I dont think los angeles deserves a run at the championship.. They have no heart whatsoever, Gasol would have a hard time posting up lisa leslie, And dont get me started on his defense of lack there of… Odom never plays d,,,, fisher is slower than my grandmother in a wheelchair trying to guard brooks, Sasha cant hit the side of a barn,,,,, ect ect ect… no killer instinct.. and phil jackson is over paid and over rated…….

Are you sure you were watching the same game as the rest of us?
Lamar Odom was the sole reason the Lakers stayed in the game. He played amazing help defense (blocks, changed numerous others) and had a bunch of offensive boards. Gasol had great moves, but Hayes made him shoot jumpers. You were right about Sasha though. Give your guys more credit, but our guys even more.

You see, you have a good team, with or without Yao and T-Mac
Stop saying it’s just effort. The Rockets execute at home.
At some point you have to stop saying it’s the plucky underdog against Goliath.
The Lakers buried themselves in the first quarter when they wouldn’t come out to guard Scola. Man, did he ever burn the Lakers.

Even Mark Jackson agrees, and then you KNOW its true if hes complementing us. In terms of talent, its not even close. Our guys (cept for a few) played amazing, and while there is no way they can play like that every game, they made the big plays when it mattered most. The Lakers did not have any commitment to this game whatsoever. The Rockets never stopped hustling. Don’t say it isn’t effort. Ever.

Clearly Lakers have more talent on the floor than the Rockets. Their margin of error is much lesser than Lakers.

I’ll say this, I wouldn’t be proud or happy of my team, whoever it is, if they lost the series. Especially because the Rockets have shown they can beat the Lakers.
It’s a defense mechanism, so you won’t be disappointed if the Rockets lose the series
I’m saying lay it on the line, support your team, don’t have excuses, and don’t be satisfied with a moral victory if they lose the series.

It's not hype
How many times do we have to have the same conversation?
Of course we’re a good team – but the Lakers aren’t just some scrub playoff team – they’re the best in the west, with the best player in the NBA.
The Rockets don’t have Yao Ming – and that’s not JUST them losing a great player – it changes their entire offensive flow and approach. They literally run a different offense.
I won’t even count T-Mac, because he’s long been gone. The Rockets also don’t have that go-to scorer who can drop 35 on any given night. The problem with Houston is, it’s going to take these huge emotional situations for them to play complete games like this. They’re not going to get 45+ from Scola and Brooks every night.
So yes, I stand by the assertion that this team shouldn’t at all be in this series with LA.
Sunday will be interesting. I can’t say I expect HOuston to win, but I sure think it will go down to the wire.

My point is, they aren't chumps
And the no team should ever be a 40 point favorite.
You’re taking credit away from them and selling them short by saying it’s all effort. It’s effort and execution. These aren’t a bunch of YMCA guys out there.
On one hand, I hear that they should get crushed on paper. On the other hand, Mr. Morey created this team from said paper. Which is it?
At some point, you start seeing this team ain’t “Rudy” or “Hoosiers”, and while “underdogs” shouldn’t be considered some college team. There are some skilled players on the Rockets.
You sir, are taking credit away from the Rockets from the way you characterize their abilities.

and my opinion is that on paper
this Rockets team right now should be about a 30 win team in the regular season (or so the “experts” might say). I don’t see how you can take the top 2 players off of this Rockets team, and still say that they are as talented as a Championship favorite team. No one is saying they are chumps, but like Brooks said postgame “we need to play with more effort than the Lakers or we have no chance of winning”. I don’t know how I am taking credit AWAY from the Rockets by saying that they played with more effort.

Come on, you’re not defending anyone. You’re just looking for an internet fight, who knows why.
I’m not saying anything derogatory about my team. They’re in the midst of an incredible run, but they’re not built to win NBA playoff games with the players they have right now and you know it. They’re coasting on emotion and grit right now, and that can’t last forever. At some point, the talent gap will probably catch up, but hey, who knows? I’m 100% behind them, so don’t insinuate that I’m somehow being critical of them. I’m just a realist.
