    If you are playing, you can't use injuries as an excuse.

    Sorry.

    Why would the team come out flat on their home court after a hard fought tough two games in LA? That mystifies me. Yao looked like he is playing in a fog, seems like he was exhausted after the pregame warmups. The guard play was really awful, and Ron didn't have it.

    It is not his Knee. It is his ankle that is injured.

    I'm so proud of Yao, even though we are likely to lose.

    He plays with heart.

    Is it his knee? The sideline reporter said something about his ankle?

    we are good, but not good enough. I need Tmac seriously. Our D is there, but we really missin someone who like Tmac to score when the team needed.

    unfortunately, they're the only guys who can create their own shot. with our offense, sometimes someone has to get a shot and it always has to be these guys.

    I don't get why Yao won't let them look at his knee! The game is over!! He's just going to make it worse being out there.

    I agree, we're good enough to win this series, that's IF Yao is okay......

    Does anyone think that Ron should drive to the basket more?

    Reason why we lost:


    Turnovers
    Not looking to pass to Yao
    Giving up 2nd chance shots

    These are the things that just killed you EVEN if you play well. If they take care of those things, they would have won ....it didn't matter how well the Lakers shoot the ball.

    I love Yao's tough heart, but I really wish he would let them sit him out when he's hobbling like this.
