Time for the bench to make up for that abysmal performance in Game 3. Landry and Wafer gotta step it up!!!

by M4G3RK on May 9, 2009 11:53 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow.

VON WAFER and CARL LANDRY have to step up? That’s the pick-up that’s going to put you over the top? You’re counting on VON WAFER “stepping it up”?!

Wow, indeed.

by DJ Bento Box on May 10, 2009 4:43 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Von has put up 20+ before

With Yao out the Rockets are missing 2 things, automatic offense and a post presence on defense. Those are exactly the two players that the Rockets have to count on if there is any chance of winning.

Wafer is a threat to LA

he had a career high 20+ points against the Lakers during the regular season. It would have been 30+ points but Adleman pulled him for reasons still unknown.

Don’t underestimate him.

Wow, this is more fun than I thought it would be. “Self,” I thought to myself, “surely you have better things to do with your time than to go to the Dream Shake and read the game thread for a game that has already happened, a game that has already been gloriously won, a game that you got to watch with a Lakers fan, no less? Is there any more sweetness to be wrung from the fragrant, delicious tangerine dream that was this fabulous blowout?”

Turns out the answer is yes, yes there is. Mmmmmmmm. Nommy.

IT SUCKS!!!

sorry that was deceptive, but the problem is this: In game 2 and 3 our second unit kicked their ass, they outscored LA by 14 in the second the other game with kobe playing most of it. Sleepy Assleman decided that that wasn’t good, so he started putting in Yao who cannot keep up with LA. So he works hard and tries to catch up and he gets hurt. What results did this jerk get….Yao hurt and out for the rest of the playoffs, and us loosing those games. NOW we can only play fast and we’re killing them. LA cannot beat a team that runs as much as they do or more and also plays defense. IT SUCKS that yao had to get hurt for us to have a chance to beat LA………fire sleepy bring back JVG…or maybe even better steal Spoelestra from the Heat!!!!

this is a point I made to a friend a few weeks ago:

Kobe (and, to a lesser extent, Lebron) both come off as guys who micromanage their image. The only real glimpses we get into his personality is when he’s on the court acting like a punk and an asshole. I always liked that about McGrady – his emotions always seemed more real, and he just seemed like a better guy. And his numerous failures only brought that out more.

is better at getting his points and being a spark. Defensively and running the offense i think Lowry has the edge. They complement each other almost perfectly

rebounding, too

undervalued in point guards. Lowry’s great at that.

The only way we win this series is if someone gets Ron Artest back under control. He played a terrible game tonight and took some terrible shots. The rest of the team compensated, but his bad shots in the 4th quarter should have us concerned.

If he's on, he's on. And that's great. But when he's completely out of line

and taking terrible shots…. someone needs to reign him in. This is where maturity at point guard will come in: Brooks needs to get comfortable w/ denying Ron the ball if Ron is playing stupid basketball.

mad props tho

Lakers came out flat, Rockets came out ON FIRE, neither surprising…. but what IS surprising is that the Lakers fought back to actually make the game close with less than 3 minutes to play.

with a little under 3 minutes left to play, 11 points is too close to call… considering the action earlier in the quarter, it would have been very possible for the Lakers to close it to within 2 or 3 in the final minutes.

The comeback came short tho

well that's not how it turned out.

would have been scarier, but that’s not how it turned out

these fanposts are starting to kill me

"close" is relative

they were still down by double digits

not really

it happens a lot in garbage time. Like JVG said, they are empty stats.

not surprising

they are a running team and only with a running team with D can someone really beat them

Nice effort, great hustle

Yao was too slow, but he was too nice for anyone to point that out. Well, except me.

And Aaron Brooks was sensational.

Ron Artest, not so much.

I disagree

the thing is that we are lucky enough to have yao, so if we need to play fast, we can sit him and if we need to play a good half court game, then you put him in. It all depends on your opponent.

Phil is a jerk

they lose game one and we just suck. They lost cause of their own fault….blah blah blah. NOW all of a sudden, “give them some f-ing credit.”

is the postgame over already'?

I liked his

“I don’t know what a red flag is” statement. PJ is such an ass.

y'know what...

if he truly doesn’t know what a red flag is, he’s just plain stupid. Furthermore, if you truly mean that then you’re the most utterly gullible person in existence.

Happiness abounds. Keep it coming, H-Town — a lot of us over at Pounding the Rock are cheering for you! It’s our way of trying to heal the shame and disappointment of losing Scola to you.
