lol, LA got completely destroyed by a yao and tmac-less Rockets team. what a joke

The first LA playoff game I've missed in awhile. I had a long basketball practice.

 

[Brewerw]

That game was weak, the lakers didn't come to play at all.

"Give them some %&*#ing credit, for real, they played a great game."

Phil Jackson.

That's three times so far in the playoffs they've been absolutely flat.

Odom is out for tomorrow's game and Bynum has got a long way back to getting into his form. I hope Kobe and Pau come to play tomorrow.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Contributions from Ariza and Farmar would go a long way too.

 

[Brewerw]

Wow, just wow.... Why do they not stay motivated every game... Given, this Houston team is ultra thin and small, but still. Just WOW!

I'm wondering the same. Great performance nonetheless.

Big-time triple from Brooks to boost the lead to 16 at the half.

Still up 10+ late in the 4th

Even without Yao or T-Mac, Houston's ability to defend has shown that they're capable of competing with anyone in the NBA in a 7 game series.

I'm not a Lakers fan, hope the Rockets can rally and win, one can only hope.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

The Lakers stepped up and got it done on the defensive side of the court today. With Denver's much improved defense LA has to have there A game on d if they want to advance.

 

[Brewerw]

If tonight's game was any indication of how this series will turn out, its gonna be a good one. I thought the Lakers were done after Odom's selfish turnover late in the fourth,but they rallied to victory. Also, props to Kobe for his performance on a night when a lot of his shots didn't go down.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Finally they show that they're capable of overcoming a late deficit.

 

[Brewerw]

Mainly due to the fact that KMart decided to foul Kobe late in the game. DUMB!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

True.

It's pretty evident from game 1 this series will be about Phil Jackson vs. George Karl. I'll take two fistfulls of rings in this one.

Lets hope Phil has a long enough attention span to watch the whole game. haha

 

[Brewerw]

In a weird way, this game felt like the EXACT opposite of game 1.

Moment of the night

Moment of the night

a bad call was the moment of the night? crazy!

 

[TXA&M07]

Seeing Kobe cover his face with his jersey in frustration made my night.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

All I have to say is that I'm glad Anthony didn't show up for the 2nd half. Denver's home win streak stopped at 16.
