Dude
It’s not b.s.. How can you idiot Laker fans still say it wasn’t rigged? It’s been proven in the news. But it’s your team. Of course you won’t admit it. I saw tons of shit that the Lakers got away with. Mainly, how the fuck did Bibby’s chin foul Kobe’s elbow? that’s just one of the many lousy calls made by the refs.
by Golden Boy on May 18, 2009 12:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Don't blame the officiating, when you can't win
Fans of losing teams often blame the officials. For ex. Blazers fans say that Stern wants to impress all the Chinese people which is why the Rockets won. Rockets fans say that Stern wants to get everyone to buy into LA-Cleveland finals. Nevermind that those two are heavily favored since they were head and shoulders above everyone in the regular season, they must be “favored by Stern”. Of course the media is going to sprout controversy, don’t you know that Golden boy? Or are you so naive that you think everything they print is true.
That’s something losing teams’ fans will always do – blame the refs. It’s really pathetic. You’ll save your Warriors’ fans a lot of disgrace if when you do lose, you lose like a man.

I think Adelman has done a great job
What with their defensive stopper (Mutombo) out, and their best player (Yao) out.
And – it’s not just any player – it’s Yao – meaning you can’t just plug and play a new guy in – it literally changes the ENTIRE offense and defense.
So, again – I’ll go with the coach on that one. I’m pretty sure he understands how to make adjustments in the playoffs, considering the players we have out.

Look – I’m no Brian Cook fan, and I’m not saying Adelman is perfect. I just know that Von Wafer is not a good defender and depending on the matchups, you can’t always put a guy in who’s a defensive liability. If Rick Adelman has a gut feeling and wants to go with a certain set of players, it’s totally fine to criticize it, but he knows the team better than anyone here.
I’ve criticized Adelman a lot – I didn’t like the hire in the first place, but he’s gotten the team this far and him not putting Von Wafer in the game isn’t going to make or break a series against the Lakers.

i would disagree with that
putting wafer and landry in games where your obvious weakness is scoring can lose you the games. The defense can only do so much. They are obviously scoring regardless, so the only way to win is to score yourself. So if you keep your offensive weapons on the bench you’re not going to win.
by cougarRoxFan on May 17, 2009 4:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
So you just think Wafer should start then, right?
I mean, he’s so fantastic on offense and it’s our biggest weakness, just put him in there to start?
I think you think Von Wafer is way better than he actually. Sure he’s a decent bench player, but he’s VERY streaky, and he also dominates the ball – he doesn’t pass, like ever.

no I don't think wafer should start
at least not with the players we have right now, but as i have said, when a second unit is actually winning the game, you don’t take them out. And in actuality go back and watch the games, b/c in quite a few of those where ppl complained Yao didn’t get the ball enough, it was actually wafer who was the only one passing it in to him.
by cougarRoxFan on May 17, 2009 4:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The second unit wasn’t winning the game, though. They were making a run. You make it sound like they put up a twenty point lead on LA. The second unit is the second unit for a reason – and they get tired just like anyone else.

It’s a RUN. Basketball games are full of runs. But here you are saying they should have just stayed in the game the rest of the time. That’s like saying the Rockets are better without Yao because they won a couple of games in this series.

omg
I said absolutely nothing about Yao, i would never agree with that. I’m just going to point out one thing. The lakers are getting all the points they want right now. The rockets D does not matter obviously. wafer 8 points 8 mins, scola 9 points 32 mins, ARTEST 8 points 35 mins, and pretty bad D right now. If you are going to make the argument that Wafer should be sitting now too then there will never be anything to convince you otherwise. whenever i’ve shown you obvious examples you’ve just either said oh I trust adleman because he has won so and so many games or you’ve said i’m saying somehing about yao(pointing out history really doesn’t refute the point and likening me to somehting else is called spin not refuting the point either. btw this team is obviously not better without him, but they do match up with the Lakers better without him esp when their center doesn’t show up). I will not agree that adleman has made good in-game decisions and I feel that you are getting upset so I’m just going to stop talking about it now.

I said i FEEL you’re getting upset not saying you are or telling you to take a breath in a rude way basically picking a fight. In fact what i was doing was the opposite. because that argument is either completely intellectually dishonest or you’re just getting emotional. I said simply the matchup during that game should have been played differently(and in general against the lakers, i’ve said that various times and you haven’t truly addressed it) which is nothing like saying that the rockets are a better team without Yao…so that’s not a very real argument, either you haven’t payed attention to what i’ve said at all(which points to someone acting emotionally so that’s why i felt that way) or you’re being intellecutally dishonest

I don't know if I can watch the second half.
I don’t see a comeback happening this morning. The Lakers are playing great defense and the Rockets are shooting horribly, just horribly. Each possession is stand around, panic, turnover and/or force up a terrible contested shot. THANKS RICK ADLEMAN, REALLY ACTIVE COACHING JOB.
Of course it doesn’t help that Pau is doing whatever he wants thanks to the fact that the Rockets are giving up an accumulative 12 feet in height disadvantage. The part that makes me the most angry is you know the Lakers think they are playing really well. While this is partly true, they’re also playing essentially a bench team, especially with Battier in foul trouble and the Rockets are playing awful.
It seems to have been the trend. The Lakers win a series, the media ignores the fact they’ve only been playing an average of 70% of a whole team.
The Thuggets will destroy the Lakers. They will play more physical, more pestering and shoot far better than the Rockets have in this series. I’m looking forward to seeing the Birdman annoy the hell out of them. So after this series and we all move our wagons to pickaxeandroll, I think we’ll finally be able to celebrate.

I do think hes exceeded nearly everyones expectations when they drafted him
but his movements are rather mechanical (even before the injuries) and I just don’t see him becoming a truly dominant center.

He's still very young
I think he’s going to be really good if he can stay healthy.

He is young
but he just doesn’t look like he has a great feel for the game. He’ll put up numbers if healthy, but his name should not even be mentioned in the same sentence with HOF.

I missed that
I thought they were pretty down on him.
With our lack of size, he should be dominating… but, not.

Yao's yawning on the bench
I don’t care, I’d be yawning too. All I know is if T-Mac was caught on camera yawning there’s be a 10+ page thread on ClutchFans dedicated to it right now.
