    Time for Van Gundy to go, he can't motivate this dang team, if you can't motivate you are a useless coach.

    The funny thing is... the Lakers could be an ELITE team if they utilized Lamar Odom better.

    Rudy and Kobe are the only ones at fault for that.

    That was a very bad call on Yao. Our PF has to defend, defend the paint.:p

    whatever man, they suck and the rox should be up by 10 not down by 10. The rox have no business losing to this team, they are very average, apparently the rox are below avg.

    I'm glad JVG got a technical and I'm glad Yao Ming went to the stupid ref and questioned his horrible call. They have homecourt advantage. We got it down to 8 at least 5 times but we just couldn't reduce the lead anymore. We ran out of time...we need a lot of scoring now with 2:30 left. We always missed that 3 or whatever...Wesley and Barry didn ot make their shots.

    Also, today MO was better than Juwan. They like take turns sucking and doing decent.

    It was a valient effort tonight like so many nights,

    but

    we always put ourselves in this position. If we played with heart in the 1st Q we would actaully be leading and winning.

    It seems it's always a problem with this team even last year we suffered this crap.

    The lakers are a beatable team unlike Phoenix.

    Another difference I see between Kobe and T-Mac is that T-Mac doesn't dunk in traffic like Kobe.

    Just an observation...

    If the game starts at 9pm you don't wait till 10:30pm to start playing.

    As TIm Legley said, the Rockets lost this game because of the horrible outside shooting from Wesley/Barry. The two combined for 2-14 on wide open jumpers.

    Yao had a terrible first quarter, but after that he played very well.

    Kobe slightly outplayed TMac but I will call it a draw.

    The best thing about this game is that JVG got a T for standing up against the referees.

    I feel Sura is trying to be the 3rd star on this team.
