    Yao going out completely changes the nature of the interior D.

    60 missed shots. 24 missed 3 pointers. Atrocious defense. 'Nuff said.

    ouch this was a rout. we would've lost even with yao and t-mac tonight.


    and why are Doug collins and Kevin Harlan saying their goodbyes? won't they do another game if it goes to game 7?

    TNT commentators said:

    "Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol are playing Volleyball amongst themselves."

    Oh well, hopefully, next year, Yao stays healthy.

    The bright spot of this game is it is finally over.

    Let the kneejerk reaction begin.

    Very disappointing.

    But again, we have game 6 coming. We have no reason to back down now.

    Close game. Refs killed the Rockets. NBA wants Lakers to win.
