    Lowry was only 1 assist away from a triple-double. When was the last time a 6ft. tall PG rebound so well.

    Yao would have smashed Drew big time.

    Well, Lowry is the only one on this team who gives 120% days in days out..

    LoLed at Sammy not passing to Kmart while the latter was wide open..

    Played well but just couldn't close. Lacking that superstar like a Kobe always hurts

    There just a better team, tough to match against two skilled seven footers on both ends of the court, lol that they wanted to break that up to get smaller with Paul.

    Ehh, we also got a bit outclassed near the end. Kobe put on a clinic. Don't get me wrong, if we had a couple of calls go our way we would have won. However, Kobe just made some big shots we couldn't easily match.

    Losing Lee really hurt us out there.
    Plus, unbalanced BS calls from the refs.
    Kmart still afraid to attack the basket.
    Dragic turnovers...
    Scola got tired, most of his shots at the end were short.
    Bynum was a beast
    And Kobe freakin Bryant...

    That was a hard loss after playing such a good game until the 4th.

    Even the Lakers announcers kept talking about the lopsided referees. Now, that's not the biggest of our problems, since we got dominated by their bigs and Kobe was unstoppable, but seriously? 7 to 27 foul shot disparity, plus innumerable missed 3 sec violations on Bynum. Give me freakin break.

    i actually didnt hate this game... I couldnt stand Bynum holding the ball all of the kids on our team, but overall I knew before the game what the outcome would be.

    Its just always like this with LA. We get pumped up because its LA, its Kobe, etc. We play well and then somehow they just always have enough to kick us on our face in the end.

    I know we didnt penetrate all game, but we deserved at least 10 more FTs (not asking much, 5 trips to the line...) and that alone makes a big difference. Did Houston deserve to win? Nah... but it didnt necessarily feel like LA earned it either.

    Scola was visibly tired because he was banging with their bigs all night.
    Lowry is untouchable.

    Lowry with another great game....22 points, 10 boards, 9 assists...giving his all every minute he was out there. He deserves more motivation, hustle and effort from his teammates.

    Rockets shoot 7 free throws, Lakers shoot 27. Of course, you could probably cut 4 or 6 of those off due to us fouling at the end of the game.

    Overall, I was not impressed at all. Too many jump shots by everyone. I don't know what to say about Martin. Does he not realize he's useless unless he's going to the line? The sad thing is, what scared me most about Lee going down was the fact that without him, it may mean we will be less likely to trade Martin....

    we played good enough to keep the game fairly close, but the refs took the game into their hands with the blatantly one sided officiating

    oh, and if Kyle Lowry isn't an all star or on the all nba team(if he keeps playing the way he is), then there is a conspiracy against the rockets
