Why are you Rooting 4 Rockets

[RebusRankin]

They're playing the Lakers.

Plus I like some of their players and how their teams play.

[jimmehx]

Because they're the underdogs... and Yao only learnt that word a few days ago and still doesn't really understand how it's used. hahaha classic.

[Big_Dave31]

That's extremely easy for me:

1) Its the LAKERS...need I say anymore?
2) I made a bet with a Lakers fan @ the start of the season, $100 that Lakers don't win the title...
3) I made a bet with another Lakers fan at the all star break on who whichever team goes further, Lakers or Celtics...(obviously, before KG injury!)
4) ITS THE LAKERS!

So, if Lakers actually lose this series, I could be $200 up should the Celtics advance, but more importantly, I hate the Lakers so bad, everytime I see Gasol play for them, it makes me sick, because he is so good, and they got him for nothing!

I was amazed by how many open mid-range shots Gasol missed. He'll start hitting them so don't get your hopes up.

[MattG12]

Love Yao, love Artest, hate the Lakers.

[Rida]

Agreed Lakers missed a lot of shots that they normally make.

Im rooting for the rockets cos i hate Kobe, game 1 represented everything that was wrong with him, he took 29 shots when his shot wasn't dropping and took the Artest, Battier matchups personally.

He also kneed and elbowed Battier when he was on the ground.

Oh yeah and I don't like a married man cheating on his wife and raping a woman either

Reasons Why I want the Rockets to win
1 Cuz they're playing the Lakers
2Cuz they're playing the Lakers
3 Cuz they're playing the Lakers
4 so I could rub it in all Lakers fans faces
5 Sasha Vujacic
6 Sasha Vujacic
7 Shannon Brown could be a big difference maker if we were to meet them in the Finals
8 Sasha Vujacic
9 Because Jack Nicholson is an LA fan and he seems like an idiot even though i've never seen any of his movies
10 all of the above

Please tell me you're kidding on number 9. That makes me sad.

[Redz]

If they played the same sport I'd root for the Yankees over the Lakers

I always hated the Yankees, but respected them.  No respect for the Lakers.

Bums.

Why, Jack does seem like an idiot!

In reality not seeing a Jack film really is a tragedy. He's one of the best actors ever.

As to the topic at hand, I don't want the Rockets to beat the Lakers but I also don't want the Lakers to beat the Rockets. I'm really apathetic to the whole Western Conference as to who wins and doesn't. All I hope for is that every series goes 7 and is tough so that, if the C's do make the Finals, they'll be playing a team as beat up and tired as they will be.
