    He may be on to something. We lost twice on national television, in embarrassing fashion.

    Anyone else find it strange that the team went into ignore-a-lin mode in the 4th?

    Lin will probably be gone next season. He is clearly the scapegoat every game here.

    Hack-a-Dwight wins... I don't care how bad you are at freethrow shooting, if you can't make the ones that count you're liability.

    We had to have a center in there for defense. Either Dwight or Asik needed to play late in the 4th. It worked for the most part. Gasol was a complete non-factor and the Lakers had trouble finishing near the rim. What killed the Rockets in the end was poor execution on the offensive end(I know Harden was exhausted, but enough with the Steve Francis-style dribbling out the clock), Dwight's p-ss poor foul shooting, and giving up two 3-pointers in the last couple minutes including the Blake game-winner.

    What's frustrating is that the Rockets handed this win to the Lakers. Seriously, they did just about everything they could in those last few minutes aside from turning it over to give this one away.

    Lakers got pretty lucky. Rockets dug themselves a big hole, dug out of it, but then made mistakes to lose the game. Give Lakers credit for making the plays they did, though.

    Lesson to Houston: They made a bunch of the same mistakes they made in wins but tonight they paid for them.

    Mchale for leaving Howard in the game up 4-6 points. Harden just horrible defense and his ISO's. Blake 3 pointer just bad team defense and lack communication..i predicted the lakers going for a 3...just guard the 3 if they hit a 2, worse case is overtime...this lost left a bad taste in the mouth

    NEXT PRACTICE: HARDEN'S DEFENSE
