Los Angeles Lakers at Houston Rockets, May 8, 2009 8:30 PM CDT
The second half thread will auto post around 9:30. I won't be around unfortunately to get everyone over there, so if someone would put a link up before the second half I would appreciate it.

JUST PLAIN DIRTY

looks like Bynum is punching Landry in tha face
Vujacic is shocked they called a foul (as usual)
You're not foolin me Kerry Collins.

That's because ...
he probably is. How else do you think the Lakers actually won all those games this season.
I pulled this from the AP:
Bryant was previously suspended for elbows to Mike Miller’s(notes) throat and Manu Ginobili’s(notes) and Marko Jaric’s(notes) faces, according to the Register.
Big surprise. What a jerk.

Who has sucked more dick at this point in their respective careers?
Sasha Vujacic or Robert Horry?
Literal dick sucking, not figurative. I don’t think Horry was known as a man milker during his tenure in Houston, so i’m giving the edge to Vujacic.

Man, I don't even follow college sports
So I didn’t know this was a coach until I looked it up.
I meant to say “the guy (or girl) who posts as Billy Clyde Gillispie”.
I respect most coaches.
It’s not Coach Gillispie’s fault some miscreant posts as him.

i’d say vujacic, but you have to put it in context. vujacic has a willing pif (that is, partner in fellatio) in luke walton. but i did also enjoy gils’ response.

This may be off topic but . . .
Given the Billy Clyde Gillispie post above maybe ‘game thread’ has a different meaning round here or something.
But who needs tonight’s game more? Rockets or Lakers? Frankly, I’m not sure.

I agree...
I’d say the Lakers ‘need’ one of the next two before they get in emergency mode.
The Rockets on the other hand need two of the next two in order to keep whatever momentum they still have.
by flipasta on May 8, 2009 5:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I say both teams equally need this
If the Rockets win this game, it will show everyone game one was not a fluke and we maintain homecourt advantage. The Lakers will be down 2-1 and the pressure will be on them.
If the Lakers win this game, we’ll be hearing more of the “Rockets got lucky in game one because Kobe had a sore throat from deepthroating Crawford all night” stories, not to mention they take back home court. We’ll be down 2-1, and the pressure will be on the Rockets to try to win another in LA.
I personally think the team that wins tonights game will win the series.

Farmar is not nearly the dirty player that Fish is.
Ariza took out Rudy here and Rudy left on a stretcher. Farmar was the first one to go to Rudy to see if he was okay (Brandon was going after Ariza). Farmar was looking at Ariza like “what were you thinking”. Oh my gosh. I just typed that one L@ker has a soul. What’s wrong with me? I guess every team has a misfit.

Ugh.
“The Lakers are sooooo dirty!” “Everyone is against us because they want a Lakers-Cavs finals!” “We beat Portland!” Blah, blah, blah……..
Talk about “Little Man” syndrome. I think that fits the typical Houston fan to a “T”. Don’t you need to have some kind of relevance in this league for you to even be able to say with a straight face that the refs and the league are out to get you? You know, maybe doing something more than since the 1995-1996 season getting out of the 2nd round a grand total of 1 TIME?
Here’s a quote you may want to think about the next time you whine about something Houston…
“Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.”
Laker fans are used to this sort of thing.

Don’t you need to have some kind of relevance in this league for you to even be able to say with a straight face that the refs and the league are out to get you?
1) Monumental strawman. Nobody’s said the refs are “out to get” the Rockets, we just said the officiating was awful last night, as it often seems to be for visiting teams when the big-name clubs need a win at home. Bias towards the Lakers, not against the Rockets (though I don’t expect you to understand that distinction)
2) I’m sorry you’re so ignorant of other teams in the NBA. Though I expect as much from most Lakers fans.
by Only_A_Lad on May 8, 2009 6:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well not everyone here thinks that way to the extreme
But we do pretty much seem to all agree that the half the Laker’s roster are dicks who resort to physical violence when they get shown up on the court, and seem to confuse that with physical toughness. I mean cmon’ if it was a 12 vs 12 battle royale there would be a bunch of purple/gold corpses on the hardwood. oh btw this is a Rockets blog, so good luck forcing your opinion on deaf ears (just ask Gil).

I know where I am hardgay and I don’t think I’m trying to “force my opinion on deaf ears”. I do think that it tends to be pretty comical (and pretty moronic) when the best fans can do to get back at the other team is come up with battle scenarios about what team could beat the other team up. I’ve read a lot of how it’s admirable that Ron-Ron “held back” and didn’t do what he should have done to Kobe.
What do you dopes really think Ron would do? Do you really think anybody is going to duke it out in this league? Does anyone ever really look “scared” of anyone else? Ron ain’t gonna do Jack but get in Kobe’s face and get tossed and then tell all the reporters after the game what he would do “in the ’hood”. Pathetic. And any of you buying in to it and coming up with scenarios of what would happen and the “Kobe is gonna get his”. Doubly pathetic.

I’m sorry you post on here and aren’t smart or thorough enough to read other bloggers posts or other content in general.
If you’d have actually done some research there have been several asides noting how biased the refereeing can be and how much the Lakers are “allowed to get away with”.
Research helps when you want to back your yapping with facts.

so I have no idea what you’re complaining about.

this is insane.
this game is on pace to be just an 88 possession game, yet the scoring is high. Great shooting from both teams, both shooting EFG’s at high 60’s. The turnovers are killing the Rockets, but at least we’re getting the few misses we’ve made. Conversely, the Lakers are rebounding their own misses at a low rate but how much does that really matter if you’re making shots. Defense has to step up for either team if they wish to win, hope this happens for the Rockets.
