    If it wasn't for those damn refs, I'm sure the blazers could have won, after all, it was a very close game, right? Right? It's not like the blazers got blown out by 27 points or something, right? nothing like that at all. :devilwink:

    Yep, I'm a big old bitch. Whining and crying. What's the population of Houston? 2 million? I guess that makes 2,000,000 plus 1 why bitches complaining about the officiating in this series. So you and I got something in common!

    Why are Laker fans always assholes?

    I agree that the Rockets are getting the calls, but I'm not complaining.

    You wonder why Laker fan is trolling - do you suppose it's because he knows we're a threat to his showboating crew?

    The offense seems to have stalled when it has been ran through LA. He's catching the ball way too far away from the basket.

    He's still good on pick and rolls, but he isn't creating his own shot very well. He isn't playing anything like he was towards the end of the season when he was attacking the basket.

    He's getting good looks though; Yao's not challenging. I see your point though; with Yao out guarding Aldridge Portland should send cutters down into the key.

    Trip...love the picture with the 4 Rockets....one of these things is not like the others. I know who 3 of them are. The 4th, no clue. But the 3 that I do know...they're all injury-prone and soft.

    I also want to see more of Roy getting into the lane and kicking it out to Blake for 3. That could be huge.

    Why wasn't LMA fronting Yao when guarding him? Everybody else was fronting Yao, and Yao was a non-factor. Then LMA stops fronting him, and Yao goes on a tear.

    Having said that, I like the lineup of having LMA guarding Yao, because Yao can't possibly cover LMA. LMA just needs to start fronting.

    DA... I was wondering if that was him. If you were going to make an "injured" NBA player Frankenstein style by grafting parts of certain players you would start with Sam Bowie's legs, but DA's teeth would be 2nd.

    The refs have pretty much established that the Blazers can't hook or pull at Yao anymore. The foul calls on Przybilla and Oden early on must have discouraged the Blazers from trying it; Aldridge especially.
