I think if Derek Fisher was in a wheel chair he might have an easier time staying with Aaron Brooks.

Damn 17-1 to start.

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:10 pm

I don't care what Lakers do from here on out - you don't deserve to go to the Finals if you are down 17-1 halfway through the 1st quarter of a closeout game.

Luis Scola is slapping the Lakers frontcourt across the face with his dick.

I hate this Lakers team. They have so much talent but no fucking desire.

you really don't get it, do you?

that he should be better than Shaq?
that he has the tools/potential to be better but isn't close?

I mean I'd disagree with both of those, I don't think he has a realistic chance of being better on a perminute basis, he maybe could have been more valuable due to being more durable, but I think you are selling Shaq short, Shaq has more raw physical talent imo(more than anyone besides Lebron maybe)

I don't really think Howard is underperforming his talent, I also don't think we've seen the best of him yet

I think the Lakers are trying to make this go seven games. Like they got a call from the head office or some shit.

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:14 pm

...although some ill-advised Artest 3's can get them back into this game. Or not.

Goddamn the Rockets are making some sick ass passes right now.

scola needs to be tested for roids

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:19 pm

SCOLA IS ON FIRE

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:21 pm

Will the Zen Master ever realize that he should play Jordan Farmar over Derek Fisher?

How many times do I have to bring this up?

My estimation of Phil Jackson as a coach has really gone downhill over the last two years.

jamrage · Post by **jamrage** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:21 pm

Rockets ahead at the end of the first quarter which is a good sign given the other games in this series.

The Rockets need to defend the outside shot better, they should be up by more than this,.

No, you heard right.

Rockets are turning the ball over too much again...

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:36 pm

Why doesn't Gasol face up on Chuck Hayes?

He can't post him up.

Anything else good on TV?

I don't wanna throw my money away at the titty bar.

Bruins and 'Canes are going into OT. That's way more exciting than this game.

But Greg, he had 22 boards against impenetrable frontline of Big Baby and Scal! One of the most dominant playoff performance of all time!!!!!

Young Shaq was lucky to go against frauds like Hakeem, Ewing, Smits, Zo, Robinson, and Mutombo. He would have been exposed playing against the likes of Glen Davis and Brian Scalabreen (what up Hubie!!!!)

Dwight Howard's stats aren't inflated at all by being the only post player on a 3 point shooting team. Thank god for eternal reflection to set all you morons straight!

@ Artest and Kobe.

DULLAH · Post by **DULLAH** » Thu May 14, 2009 10:58 pm

LMAO @ Refs liking the fact that Artest ran away from anything, and rewarding him.

Great first half.
Was liking Battier for a minute until that bromantic back-and-forth interview.
:fail:

Yup. They lost to the Ottoman Turks in 1509 on Suleiman the Magnificent's running jump hook in the lane over three defenders.

My man was never afraid of a hook shot. Quick Magical Mystery tour for everyone:

We got a 3 point ball game, folks.

Haha, all the Boston teams lost tonight.

I told you Farmar needs to be playing over Fish. GODDAMNIT.

You ain't fuckin' with my Mitchell & Ness Suleiman throwback jersey.

Scola + Brooks = FTW

I'll take Vujacic taking stupid shots for this quarter. Thank you very much.
