A little overzealous to say. What plethora of fouls up through the fourth are they getting? Frankly the Rockets should be winning big time on the Gasol-less Lakers at home.
honestly i could not be an nba neadcoach. some games are so close that just by watching that i get heart attacks
WTF FARMAR !!!! Risky ass shot. Glad some of those have to go our way though. Looks like we are finally in a flow. My heart also skipped when Kobe fell. : O
Yeah this game is over but the Lakers bounced back well in the second half. They've got something to build on.
Why the **** is Skip hotdogging with less then a minute left? Of course he should have gotten his ass fouled. Get that garbage out of here. Hah Sasha was still trying to pad up till the end.
Not having Pau hurt the Lakers a lot in this one. Also, got give be ups the to Rockets, who seem like the team to beat.
I think Kobe and T-Mac thought this game was more about them, then it was about their teams... I wanted to see how Hayes/Mutombo would have matched up against Gasol, a real big low post scoring threat...oh well, KG comes to town on Tuesday. This should be an interesting series for many seasons to come, especially with both teams 100% healthy.

Also, if we're going the Bynum-less route, then it's worth a mention the Rockets are Landry-less also.

Dikembe owns. IMO the Rockets are better with Dikembe than with Yao. They should trade Yao for someone like Dikembe, but younger.

Anyways good game yet AGAIN vs. the Lakers. Lakers can't complain about Gasol because we played without Yao so it was all equal but you guys have to give Battier some props for his outstanding defense.
