    The Lakers are hurting. Look at the Bynum hobbling around and Odom back is hurting. Go for the kill. Odom back should be taking some pounding in game 6 and Bynum should be pushed around laterally.

    Not the worst, considering we're short of our best player.

    Well the first few minutes of the game looked good...

    Yes, it was a bad loss but I wasn't surprised a bit by it. Yes being a Rockets fan I wanted Houston to win, but how can you expect to win without Yao, McGrady and to a lesser extent..Deke? We lack height in a major way and the Lakers took advantage of that tonight and will look to do it again in Game 6.

    Is this series over? No. Rockets are the underdogs by a big stretch now without Yao, but I think with the home crowd at Toyota being up and loud for Game 6...anything is possible like we saw in Game 4. Lakers also have shown the tendency in the past few games to flip their switch on and off. They had it on tonight obviously, but in Games 1 and 4...snoozing.

    DALLAS, May 7 (Ticker) -- Jason Terry and the Dallas Mavericks are moving on. Tracy McGrady again is going home early.

    Terry sparked a huge first half to help add to McGrady's postseason frustration as the Mavericks rolled to a 116-76 demolition of the Houston Rockets in the most lopsided Game Seven in NBA history.

    We're missing our first and second options, in Yao and Tracy. We're missing our best defensive big, in Mutombo.

    We're missing playmaking and height.

    So no. It WAS indeed a beatdown, but not our worst.

    it was pretty bad blowout but also expected we'd lose.

    i'd say game 7 vs the mavs was alot worse than this one.

    different situation.

    the only good that can come of this is lower ticket prices in flash seats. if thats the case, my ass will be there


    also.....i didnt look like ONE guy out there quit. they looked like they were playing hard. yeah, sometimes stupid but i appreciate cook, landry, wafer, and lowry diving on the floor. barry sacrificing his body to save the ball down 40...

    it was a bad game on the road, no shots went down and bynum played well... get over it.

    expect von wafer & landry to play more. artest needs to post up more.

    game 6 will be hot. expect a dog fight. regardless of outcome, there is already a lot to be proud of.

    This thread is embarassing. 1 star.

    How can a "T-mac" fan forget the Mavs series?

    Or is this how delusional T-mac fans are. They remember T-mac dunking on Bradley, but forgot we get destroyed in game 7.

    embarrassing.

    Yeah, Game 7 against Dallas in 05 was as bad as it gets.

    Comparing apples to oranges in terms of the situation.
