Just looking at Rockets statistics, makes me nervous.
Houston's offense is fast and furious
- Fastest pace team
- Highest scoring team
- Highest fast break efficiency
- Highest scoring in 2nd half
- 2nd in fast break points
- 2nd in First half points
- 2nd in 3 point made
- 3rd in points in paint
- 4th in last quarter points
- 5th in biggest lead
- 6th in offense efficiency
- 6th in field goal made
Because they score so much points and are so fast pace, Houston is a turnover prone team.
Houston favorite play in half court:
Put the ball outside the 3 points arc,
if a defender got too close to the 3 point line, drive to the paint,
to either shoot or pass to an open man.
They sometimes use pick and roll, for a give and go.
If the defender is too far, they shoot the 3.
Houston favorite play in fast break:
Court to court dribble or end to end passes.
They are so fast in fastbreak, that Lakers need to run back to defense immediately after shooting a basket.
Houston defense is not good.
They are the opposite of Memphis - great offense, average defense.
Keys for Lakers Defense to win:
- Contain their guards (easier said that done with our lineup)
- Guard the 3 point line (not good sometimes, as they spread our defenders)
- Defensive Rebound.
- Make it a half court game (we don't do well against run and gun teams).

if we win and clinch the 7th seed, we have a fighting chance against the spurs. lose, and we will witness a first round annhiliation by okc. _________________ We only celebrate championships.

No. Utah is still can able to win their last game. If they do, and we lose on Wednesday, we would be out of the playoffs instead of playing OKC in 1st round. _________________ You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

I know it would be backing in but I want Utah to lose and assure the Lakers a spot in the playoffs. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Hopefully Memphis will have taken care of Utah for us earlier in the evening. I hate that Houston has something to play for. That being said, we should be able to pound their interior defense. Gotta get Asik in foul trouble early.
I realize some may see this as sacrilegious but I would love to see the Lakers come out wearing Celtics warm-ups for the shoot-around before the game, in solidarity with the people of Boston. Of course they should switch back to Laker warm-ups for the actual game.
The Celtics are my most hated team, but what happened in Boston yesterday transcends sports. _________________ Chick Hearn and Vin Scully. How lucky are we?
