    Unfortunately. Rockets have gave us a great battle so far, which we didn't have last year, before Celtics came and destroyed us. I don't think Nugs will give us trouble - they have nobody to guard Kobe well. And Kobe must feel great after playing against one of the best perimeter defender.

    so one post season series means more than the entire season. bottom line is that odom was a 32% three point shooter, ariza a 32% three point shooter, and walton a 30% three point shooter in the regular season. the three of them combining to make 6 threes and shoot 67% from behind the arc is something that is definitely out of the ordinary.

    not that it matters now.

    We were what in game 1? I think it is simply the law of averages with our perimeter game, we're shooting below our season average in these first three games IIRC.

    This series is over. No chance for the Rockets without Yao. We're going to be able to easily dominate the post with Gasol and Bynum now.

    Bullshit?

    You guys outscored us without him on the floor. Hayes and Landry ate us apart. We fucking owned Yao. Outside of game 1, Yao hasn't been very effective or efficient. How is that bullshit?

    Them being left wide open and hitting threes is not out of the ordinary. The only person you may argue for is Luke Walton, but then again, he went a whopping 1-2 from beyond the arc. OMGZZZZZZZ I'm sure he's never done that before.

    Both of Lamar's three pointers last game were wide open, I believe. Like I already said, he's more than capable of hitting open threes. Ask around if you don't believe me.

    Trevor's number is at 32% because he struggled mid-way through the season. He was hitting all his threes early on, and then he went on a slump, before he started attacking the basket again and getting his confidence back. He's been hitting open threes basically all year for us, and has been a monster this postseason. Stop making excuses. If everything went according to plan, it would be a 3-0 series right now.

    that doesn't matter. the rockets are clearly still a better team with yao on the floor. it's not his fault if his teammates miss easy chances to get him the ball or pass up open shots that he creates or simply just miss the shots they get. yao can't control any of that. no player can. but there is absolutely no doubt the team is better with yao out there every game of the year.

    I didn't say they weren't a better team. I said they played better in game 2 without him.

    Houston is going to come out like this, fired up. Just weather the initial storm and we've got them.

    Everyone should have expected this start. It is all adrenaline. They'll crash and burn.
