    Great to see Yao more involved: Battier is passing to him. I think he is in sync now. Brooks is a young guard that may take years to really get where he needs to be. Right now he is basically speed.

    God I hate Brooks. He so hesitant with the passing and too much stupid easy to read dribbling.

    Battier made a good move to help Yao get away from Gasol's fronting, but brooks just ignored and dribble to a turnover. That's too bad.

    Rockets have more TOs than assists? Blame the PG.

    Artest had the opportunity to dive for the ball twice but he just stood there and didn't even bother to get into transition defense. Come on Artest.

    Please take care of the ball.

    Seeing Yao hit a turnout around fade away at one end, only to have a Laker respond with an uncontested breakaway dunk is just #@$@#!!%

    pace of the game is too up tempo. Need to slow it down and get the ball in the post. brooks and artest dribbling is killing us.

    If that's the case, we could win this one for sure since our starting lineup was doing a good job.

    4 steals for LA already with the dribbling and passing by Artest & AB. Stop dribbling so much you assholes, give it to Scola or Yao in the post.
    So far Yao has gotten the touches but still not enough. AB needs to look to him even more than he has or we will lose. We cannot keep turning it over like this and stay close, let alone win.
