    Collins sucks as an announcer. His monotone is annoying. It's like lurch out there calling games....

    Even I could play better than Scola.

    what we did to them on Sunday they're doing to us tonight. we're getting raped out there. we started off good and then once Hayes got two fouls and they sub'd him it went down hill immediately.

    +1. He's turning the ball over left and right.

    This is what happen if the point guard cannot setup play. Yes, he can score but when the opponent shut him down, game over.

    In a odd way, the Rockets can take solace that this loss was the result of their own bad play as opposed to Laker dominance.

    With the exception of his last four or five shots in Game 3, Artest hasn't given much of anything on offense. Add AB being tentative and Scola being a disaster offensively and what you have tonight isn't surprising at all.

    We have no height and no one with any shot blocking ability. Landry is good as it's going to get in that department.

    So we need to be efficient on offense to cut down on the Lakers transition buckets.

    Unfortunately, we are a turnover machine once again.

    The worst part is, the Lakers defense hasn't been impressive. Too much isolation, too many TOs, too many missed shots. if this lead isnt cut by 15 at halftime, I think its over. May as well wait till game 6. I dont see the Lakers giving up a 20+ lead in the second half.

    artest is about as smart as dirt. i hope we dont resign him, and not because of tonite. he's a selfish player who dribbles to much. we need to get smart players.

    Collins is always siding with the team that is winning or playing well. If we make 10-0 run, I guarantee he will start talking about Rockets for a while and starts saying bad things about Lakers. The Laker's fan were also complaining about this exact same thing about him in game 1 when we won.

    PROBLEMS
    1. TURNOVERS - way too many
    2. Rebounds - Way too few
    3. Defense - not rotating. . not hustling up
    4. Shots - even our open shots are not falling
    5. Refs - Quick cheapie fouls on Chuck . . . don't worry . .the Lakers have enough cushion now . .they may call it str8 from here out
