What's your take on the officiating tonight? Is Yao getting jobbed?
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Milled Animal
Yao yes
The Rockets as a whole? no
But it’s not on purpose with Yao, just bad situations
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
if you look at the box score
everyone in Houston is shooting a good percentage, except for our PG’s they only have 2 points between them (1-13 shooting)…if we fix that and keep the game at our pace then I think we have a great shot
barkley flip flopping
he said he doesnt know who’s gonna win this series after sayin tha Rockets had no shot b4
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
He can change his opinion
Based on the latest facts

Kenny says this game is for the championship...
If Houston wins, they can win it all

I kind of agree with him
Houston matches up extremely well with Denver and Cleveland.

I want the Kobe that goes into a massive sulk and just quits on his team.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
it would be so heartbreaking
to go to the finals and come up short…i don’t think i can handle it.
There are worse things
….like getting eliminated before that
Here is my Playoff mode signature, that I thought up myself: "Just Do It".
no way! yeah i’d be super sad if we lost this series…but if we made it to the FINALS?! it’s like losing a gold medal by 0.1 seconds…devastating.

that was such an impressive 2nd quarter
but as good as carl landry has been he needs to make his damn free throws
J'ed
they mentioned a stat earlier
about the LAkers being 2-7 when kobe takes 30+ shots… so lets hope he takes 45+
but you see why he shoots more in losses
It’s usually bc the team is not helping, his shooting does not lead to the loss
I’m not saying this is a loss, but it’s one of those nights he has to compensate for his teammates
by Gils_Keloids on May 6, 2009 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions
There are of course exceptions
like when he scored 81
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
wasn't that against a below .500 team though?
I think it was the knicks?
Toronto
And they were down by like 15 in the first half
by Gils_Keloids on May 6, 2009 11:10 PM CDT up reply actions
The point here
Is that Kobe shoots a lot more when the team is behind
When you’re behind to begin with, you’re more likely to lose, thus the correlation.
It’s not because Kobe was shooting a lot that they lost, they weren’t playing well, so Kobe shoots more.
by Gils_Keloids on May 6, 2009 11:12 PM CDT up reply actions
I was just pointing out
that there are some instances where him taking bundles of shots may not be a good thing
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
If we lose the finals
Imagine this team when mcGrady comes off the books and a guy like Dwade is looking for team to play with in 2010
i don't know
it would mix up the chemistry… I really like the rockets as they are right now
It would be best to trade McGrady
and get at least something in return.
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
You don't have to want McGrady
You want the 23MM is cap relief in 2010
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
It seems you are still unclear on the matter.
A team looking to clear space can effectively reduce their payroll by 23 million (or more if they have a large trade exception) at the end of the season by trading for T-Mac. In this economy many lottery bound teams will jump at the chance to shave off 1/3 of their payroll.
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
Rondo was so sick...
in the game earlier. I did not realize he could dunk like a freak.
I was referring
to their weird wingspans and dunking ability… Rondo is a better passer
draft dejuan blair
More like Westbrook wishes he's like Rondo
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
westbrook is gonna be good
that whole OKC team is gonna be scary in 2-3 years
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
I'm not sure of that yet
their two best talents both play the small forward. Green is an undersized four who can just not guard the position.
They will probably not get Griffin, and even if they did, they’d have a remarkably undersized frontcourt.
Westbrook isn’t really a point guard, but can’t shoot either. He’s an enigma.
I like the individual talent, but I’m not sure how it makes a cohesive and effective team.
draft dejuan blair
yea
but I really like how westbrook and green played. I’m not a big fan of Thabeet from UConn but he would fit well there. and I’m on tha Durant bandwagon. he’s gonna be Kobe/Lebron good
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
Kobe/LeBron are both incredible defenders
Durant rates as the worst perimeter defender in the NBA by +/-. He’s closer to TMac than he is Kobe and LeBron.
draft dejuan blair
I still think they need a center..
they should’ve held on to Chandler.
can't evaluate over a single game
too much statistical noise… a full season gives good perspective. One game means nothing.
draft dejuan blair
its basically how many points the team goes up/down by when said player is on the floor
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
It's hard to come back up from +/- when Artest was around for the Lakers kicking ass
It will happen in time if the rockets gain though
"We Believe" - Rudy Fernandez
It's simple
Artest was on the floor when we got behind. Lowry came in off the bench and got us back in the game
by Bullard's Boy on May 6, 2009 11:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Who could we get for Tmac
OKC is in financial trouble. Anyone else? Who would they give up? I’d rather get a sure guy in 2009 than gamble in 2010
i’d trade him for a season’s supply of 5hour energy for adelman
by theJennNguyen on May 6, 2009 11:08 PM CDT up reply actions
There aren't a whole lotta sure guys in 2009 that are worth spending on though
NO is looking desperately to cut spending (not that we would want Chandler), as is NJ and other teams fooling themselves into summer of ’10.

Rockets need a SG in return
A good one for that matter. Can you imagine if Shane or Ron was actually able to come off the bench???
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
But I'm guessing they go after multiple draft pics from New York
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
there are Portland rumors
in which the Blazers would absorb Jeffries’ salary for the eighth pick.
draft dejuan blair
It really depends on who the Rockets got
It could be a SG or a SF
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
tell me when the 2nd half starts please because my tv is downstairs and my computer is upstairs
J'ed
did Pickaxe and Roll approve of that name?
Silver Screen and Roll is kind of a ripoff
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
Salary difference - Role Players - Lakers Vs Rockets
Brooks (1.1 Mils)
Wafer (0.7 Mils)
Lowry (1.2 Mils)
Chuck (1.9 MIls)
Total 4.9 Mils
Sasha 4.5 Mils
It is amazing what these role players have done…

That's not a foul
He can’t swing his arms wildly after the shot to get a call

He guarded the fuck out of you in game one

kobe is so good, yet i hate him.
"There goes Brandon Roy... the best there ever was in this game"
ya he's been saying it all quarter..
he hits a shot then looks at doug collins and says “he can’t guard me!” a few times referring to Shane Battier

He guarded you two nights ago, Kobe
Talk shit when you beat us.
i wish shane
would just clothesline the shit outta him
Time to stick Crazy Pills on Kobe...
Just for a little changeup action.. More physical…
where was all this kobe scowling in tha 2nd quarter?
lets see him keep it up for more than a quarter
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
Kobe is abusing Battier right now
maybe try putting Artest on him for a different look? Regardless, just don’t let the other L*kers get going and you should weather the storm.
Kobe's hitting shots
He’s not exactly beating Shane to spots very often, he’s just hitting them anyway.
I would like Ron to body him up though and throw him off
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
I'm not worried about Kobe
We need to rebound and keep playing them tough. No easy baskets in transition….
Shane is doing his best
Not even Kobe can hit those all nite
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
Nothing you can do
If I’m the Rockets I let him keep on taking those shots. Maybe he’ll do it the rest of the series, in which case the Lakers are in deeeep trouble.

Should have been a no call..

Didnt even get no static from the cowards
Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the police and they rolled right past me
No flexin, didnt even look in a niggaz direction
As I ran the intersection
Went to $hort dogs house, they was watchin yo! mtv raps
Whats the haps on the craps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of niggaz and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back do joe
I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and Im yellin domino
And now I am yelling dominoes
Plus nobody I know got killed in south central l.a.
Today was a good day
Left my niggaz house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin to fuck since the twelve grade
Its ironic, I had the brew she had the chronic
The lakers beat the supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the punanny
And my dick runs deep so deep so deep
Put her ass to sleep
Woke her up around one
She didnt hesitate, to call ice cube the top gun
Drove her to the pad and Im coasting
Took another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her ass off, then I chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didnt even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the goodyear blimp
And it read ice cubes a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didnt even have to use my a.k.
I got to say it was a good day.

Boy, this Laker team does not deserve any respect.
I think the Rockets need to take their gloves off
A lot of people in the locker room
before the game was finished. Everyone needs to keep their cool and play ball.
As a fairly neutral observer
This game was reffed reasonably well. Fish got ejected – as he should have; Artest got a little carried away in a game getting out of hand – so an ejection wasn’t surprising. The L*kers had three quick touch fouls to start the 4th Q but the Rockets really didn’t capitalize.
After 6 games with the Blazers everyone should be familiar with what is and what isn’t a foul, and I really didn’t see much in the way of bias one way or another.
In a battle for position
It’s a fine line between an elbow and the usual wrangling. Refs probably just didn’t see it.
again, I still dont know Artest got ejected
is it b/c he hurt k0be’s elbow w/ his throat?
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.
He ran down the ref
Then ran after Kobe and got in his face.
didn't Odom, Walton, and Sasha
all do that?

Artest got ejected because he's Artest. What did you see there that was ejection worthy?
Go to the light. Go to the light...
Przybilla got tossed
One game late in the season the same way. A tech where he didn’t simmer down quick enough. Artest is probably on a shorter leash than most.
not to call out homers but..
in a chippy game, you have ron artest (who has ummm history) running across the court full speed after he’s pissed about a foul (deservedly so), and you wonder why the refs ejected him?
and re: elbow.. that wasn’t a full swing.. it was similar to the elbow that ron pushed at kobe last time they were chirping at each other..
oh so Lamar Odom
is allowed to chase Luis Scola around and stick his ugly egghead in his face for 10 seconds, but Artest can’t talk to Royalty?
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
that was the start of the chippiness...

But you see
none of the officials even looked twice at it. Its not until the Rockets talk smack to the Kobes that techs get handed out.
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay
In case you're wondering, Hard Gay is married.
You really should have a reason besides "He's Ron Artest" for a playoff ejection.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
That's true
Fish got tossed only after a much more violent/blatant offense
come on... he didn't get ejected because he's Ron Artest
It’s because Artest is running full speed across the court… this is the guy that ran into the stands.. I like ron artest- I think him and Kobe are going to go at each other, and it’s awesome, but if you don’t see why he got ejected, then I won’t try to explain.
Im going to maintain he did. Being condescending doesnt help your cause.
Several Lakers did the same thing. They got 1 T. Ron got tossed on rep.

You are a Laker fan so your glasses are just as foggy.

So you are just stating you are better at seeing things clearly than these fans.

I love how after Fisher drops Scola (sp?) the refs need like 3 min to figure out what to do. Artest yells at Kobe and auto ejection. Such a nasty steaming pile of bullshit. Ron getting kicked was the nail in the coffin.

There was a lot of shady stuff going on the accuser’s end, not some innocent girl who was taken advantage of.
Possibly so.
We’ll never know because the judge let Kobe’s attorney make a mockery of Colorado’s rape shield laws. Being trashy doesn’t mean you can’t be raped.
I’ve read most available account of this case. Here are my thoughts.
1. Not a terribly strong case, not a terribly bad one. Before Team Kobe got started there was enough there to take to a jury. I think he could have gotten reasonable doubt, and been acquitted, but possibly convicted on a lesser charge. We’ll never know. Don’t let your love of the Lakers and Kobe blind you here. There was a case, it just had an unsympathetic victim and a mega-star defendant.
2. Kobe’s attorney should have been censured at the very least. There’s a line between zealous defense and unethical behavior, and she was way across it.
3. The judge should have been removed – and the trial should have been moved as well.
LA sports stars and circus trials – justice is 0-2.

trolling on the opposing teams blog is pathetic
its lame dude
Im tired of this Lakers bullshit
Tried to injure Yao
Bled shane
Bows to the throat
and running Scola over?
what the fuck.
this isnt fucking basketball…
its sickening.
lets go back to ’92 ’93
Full contact Basketball anyone?
It’s only a matter of time
tried to injure yao?
wouldnt you think that kobe would not actually bump knees intentionally with yao because that would mean kobe would run a higher risk of injury. i mean yao’s knees are like twice the size of kobes
and
you are reduced to going to the opposing team’s blog to gloat over one of the ugliest playoff wins in recent memory.
Congratulations.
draft dejuan blair
You're spot on.
But only once when it mattered.

I'm disappointed. You could exchange your summas, with no apologetics later.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
Sasha =
crybaby. Remember when Ray Allen scored that key layup on him in the Finals last year and Sasha threw a temper-tantrum? fuckin’ funny.
Its natural to
root for the team that beat you, because if they win a ’Ship, you can always claim you were the second best team. this is fairly standard.
?
This is why Rockets fans root for the Jazz?
That wasn’t meant to be rude, I just think it’s a bit inaccurate. Most fans hate the team that eliminated them.
Nah, not really a special case
After last year’s CFs, most Pistons fans were rooting for the Lakers. Most Spurs fans were rooting for the Celtics. It’s pretty normal.
Where do you get that information?
There is no normal circumstance in which I would ever root for the jazz.
And hey, at one point in my life I really liked to watch the Lakers – Magic, Showtime, those were great teams to watch. This version of the Lakers? They reflect Kobe. That isn’t good.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
lol
Should I put up a sarcastic sign? I’m well aware the Jazz are enemy #1 around here. Look at the post I was responding to.
Sometimes I think we need a sarcasm emoticon.
After a while you learn the “voice” of posters, until then…
Go to the light. Go to the light...
Yea
If we lose (Big IF) I’m rooting for Denver
See that's a normal fan reaction
Blazers fans just obsess with anything purple and gold. Normal fans usually hate the team that eliminated them, which is why I hate the Celtics.
who said your the norm
your on a rival team blog posting angry comments about your victory
we have plenty of comments here i think we could do fine without yours
J'ed
Angry? Have you read anything I've posted?
I’ve posted on the Dream Shake, Pounding the Rock, 3QC, and other blogs. I’ve never been accused of being angry or a troll. I try to stay as reasonable and balanced as possible. I didn’t come here to gloat – I haven’t said one thing about the win tonight – or any nonsense like that. Please take the time to read someone’s postings before pulling out criticism like that.
lol appreciate it
I probably shouldnt have come here during post-game emotions time, I’m just getting my head taken off. But I understand, especially if there were Laker trolls here earlier.
Uhh
LSU fan speaking here, we don’t like being associated with the other team in Purple and Gold
Not for me. We've lost to the Lakers many times and it has caused me to hate them.
It is because of the way they act.
Lost to Houston and gained respect for their team. Tough basketball players and big hearts.
Blazers fans are kind of an exception though
I can understand some of it. I wasn’t a big fan of Kobe’s “you can’t guard me” over and over again tonight.
wait until it happens several years in a row
there won’t be affection any more.. enjoy it while it lasts. that’s playoffs
Did you not understand what I said?
I said I have respect for good people, even if I lose to them.
I have no respect for bad people, even when I beat them.
The rest should be clear.
why would you wanna provoke a team w/ ron on it?
I'll snap yo neck like a twig if you sass me again. . .
THE POINT HERE IS:
Kobe is scared of Artest.
backing off like a little bitch to make it look like its all on Artest
what a little bitch
Wouldn't you
kick someone’s ass if they tossed beer on you?
No, kids love him.
only thugs are scared of him.

I like Artest.
I probably would have gone looking for the guy too.
It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve sobered up someone with my fist.
kobe knows damn well
artest would snap his ass in two and use his bones as tooth picks
Yeah Kobe
Doesn’t want none of Artest off the court.
Kobe just plays basketball and is good at it. And owns Artest on the court.
i hate to bitch about the officiating
but we seriously lost tonight b/c of it,
Not as much
as were in Joey’s.

Officiating was just bad
If i took a shot for every time a ref pushed a rocket tonight, id have alcohol poisoning right now
All I'll say is that it was a really special Joey Crawford effort tonight. Really memorable.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
its like they ref the game
as if nobody else is watching the friggin game
LETS ALL
Go on the Silver Screen and Roll and talk shit
haha
does everyone in SS&R
recycle and reuse bad jokes? what a healthy environment.
"Hip-Thrust!" - Hard Gay

Yeah, why throw away a joke, even a bad one? What, do you hate the earth?
Go to the light. Go to the light...
It's bad for your brain to do that.
And most of SS+R guys have been ok.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
Not really nice thing to do.
But if you are making an ironic joke at how dull these lakerfantrolls are here, then I think it is funny.
What really pissed me off
was Derek’s reaction about it at the press conference.
what a douche
the whole team is a bunch of d bags
how is it that the whole team is getting at scola and somehow it’s still scola’s fault?
WTF???!?!?!!??
If a guy tries to lay another guy out with a cheap shot elbow to the face,
you expect that guy to be contrite?
Fisher is going to be suspended. You can see premeditation on the elbow.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
You gotta admit though,
the league has said over and over again that it knows people’s intentions when it reviews these things. It’s idiotic, but it is the way Stern deals.
You doubt me, and yet I can see into the hearts of men.
Perhaps I can say “It is reasonable to infer intent from the actions I witnessed”.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
I already told y'all
that introspection can’t reveal our own intentions to us (at least not fully). Why would observation reveal outsider intent?
No, I think it’s clear that the NBA needs strict, results-based punishments. Crippling elbow to the face is at least a one-game suspension, no matter “reasonable inference of intent.”
(this post submitted half in jest)
We can't discover own our intentions? We can't discover others?
Can anyone actually function in that universe. Or do you mean “know” in some more final sense?
It is ON! You’re going DOWN!
Well, not really. Im sleepy.
And yes, I agree with you. We usually don’t need intent. But what if someone whistles a vicious elbow at someone’s head, but misses only because the other guy tripped? Does Rafer deserve the same punishment? He certainly didnt seem to be trying to hurt House.
Go to the light. Go to the light...
He won't
I’m sure Stu Jackson texted Stern right as it happened.
"OMGAD OMGAD DAVE WHADDAWE DO?"
stern: Hmm if we suspend him… the TV ratings will SKYROCKET and people will tune in to see more of this.
stu: KK LETS DO IT.

If he does
It’s just proof that the NBA has been sleeping with the Lakers, and that its faker than wrestling
