    I know we lost but we played with heart for the entire game. This is the best the Lakers can play and we kept it close until the ejections and cheap shots. Win or lose, I love this squad and proud to be a rocket's fan.

    The Lakers have to play dirty to keep a lead while the rox play hard nose and still have a chance to beat them ...IMO thats impressive

    I'm proud of this team, but man... Von Wafer?

    Rick is known as a player coach; what could Von have said?

    But yes, if this league is just, Rockets are in good shape.

    Rockets made a statement that we will not back down but il tell you this Ron, Scola, Yao and the troops will not go down without the fight of a lifetime. All il say is Lakers be ready for game 3 cause WAR has just begun!!

    Yep me two Scola kind of punked there whole team during that incident, then Kobe wanted no part of Artest, Kobe through his hands up. Great loss give the damn ball to Yao.

    The team lost a bit of composure, but I loved the fact that they seriously hate to lose. These guys are not going to back down.

    We lost, but we played legitimately.

    This game will fire up the Rockets even more for game 3.

    agree to the fullest....in the past (or other teams) wouldnt even be in this position, probably wouldnt have spun out of the playoffs, then you'd think they'd barely make the playoffs, or lose in the first round...or then get blown out and swept by the Lakers....all those could have probably been OK and expected by most given the circumstances, yet they just keep surprising people.....i love that there was a point prior ot halftime where Kobe looked dead tire and had this "WTF" look, as in not believing the rockets didnt break down..

    I am also proud of our guys but YAO!!! I have no idea what happened to him. If you can not seal your man off, you move around or set a pick for your teammates at the very least, just fu@#ing do something for your team instead standing still on the court!!!! so disappointed in him

    Wrong. Bench players were playing great when Yao was not there.

    Great effort, stayed till the last 2 minutes.

    By Newton's first law, Artest hit Kobe's elbow with his neck, I'm just happy that Refs remember Quantum Mechanics.

    I am as well, I'm worried about Von and Artest though. I don't think Artest will be suspended, because an ejection was enough. Von is the guy I am worried about he could have been useful in the 4th and in the 3rd.

    Yao Ming needs to dominate Game 3 if we want to win.

    Me too. I said in in the game thread, win or lose, I love this team. Through thick or thin. Through wins and loses. Through championships and lottery seasons. Rocket fan for life!

    Agreed!

    We took their best shot on their court and hung in there. Never giving up.

    We are in their heads.
    All of Kobe's b****es (odom and walton and fisher ) ganging up on scola? LOL
    Scola owns them
