Tues. 3/20 - Lakers @ Rockets - Predictions & Comments

Lakers

I never really get upset about other team's commentators anymore. I used to a lot when I was younger, but these guys are p****** me off. Just shut up and call the game guys

Don't know about the dumbest but we're def the dumbest of the so called "good teams"

this team is crazy......great 1/4 and bad 2/4.....what to say.....nothing

This is not looking good. Let them back in it. Blake and Ron are lost as usual. Too bad, since the Clips will lose tonight.

40 in the 1st, 16 in the 2nd. Terrible second quarter

Well after the Wizards got rid of McGee and Collins they might've upped their collective IQ a bit, so I'd say we prob took that #1 spot

Im taking that back LOL

How do you score 40 points in one quarter and 16 the next?

Good 1st qtr..mediocre 2nd. Bad defense all around again not new though

Seriously. A lot of them don't know that's not a travel.

It's very easy to explain.

First quarter: Team ball

Second quarter: Kobe ball

Simple, Q#1 was a fluke.

Really need this win. Clips likely to lose tomorrow too at OK City. If Lakers can do the two step and win tonight and tomorrow at Mavs there would be real separation in the division.

The courtside guy is crying about three seconds too.

Damn Kobe is fun to watch.

so how many shots did pau get when he was in in the 2nd after owning in the 1st? exactly...not rocket science here. it's basketball

I just turned on the game and then checked the score and initially I was happy that we were even up but it appears we were up 40-25 after the first so I'm guessing we shouldn't be happy.

Except that Kobe didn't even play half the quarter.

Sucks when facts don't jive with your agenda, doesn't it?

Owning? He was the benefit of penetration by other guys and being left WIDE open. It's not like we fed him and he was dominating the post...

This team can never hold a lead. So when they went up 17 early, I knew the Rockets would trim it down.

The Lakers don't like blowing people out, that means they get rest, which it seems they obviously do not care for.

I don't have an agenda. I'm only watching the game. Check the shots taken and missed by Kobe in the first and second quarter. Then check the shooting by Pau & Bynum in both quarters.

Big leads are dangerous for the Lakers....because when the lead gets up to that 15-17 ot mark, they all mentally relax and the opponent run starts...usually the first thing to lapse is the defensive intensity.

If you watch this team enough, the telltale signs are so predictable, it's not funny. It's the reason why there are no mega blowouts ever. The team is mentally allergic to playing with maximum effort in any sustained type of fashion.
