    NO OFFENSE, NO DEFENSE. NOBODY CAN HIT A WIDE OPEN SHOT, NOBODY CAN DEFEND EXCEPT HAYES. BATTIER HAS TO HIT THAT 3, SO DOES BROOKS.

    Rockets following their "we can't do anything right" script. I guess this was somewhat predictable, but still disappointing after how hard they have played. After the unforced turnovers in the first quarter via the "throw back" passes, I starting doing some work. From the score, looks like nothing has changed. Artest in goofy pass and brick mode, Brooks in goofy pass and brick mode, and everybody else in stuck in cement and brick mode. Warm up the bus.

    Still not giving up. The Lakers have been known to blow big leads. They are just hot like the Rockets were at home.

    They are zoning us UP big time, and Scola can't catch the ball to save his life. Overall a terrible series for him, historically he has been our most consistent player so I am very surprised.

    Turnovers and bad shot selection = fast break points from the Lakers. You cut those down and it could possibly be a single digit lead for the Lakers, but that's not happening so FML :(

    k its obvious we are attempting to break an nba record for most turnovers in a series! so lets just get in the history books, and start playing for real in the 2nd half

    oh well.

    maybe we'll get them in game 6.

    maybe both team go to the end of the bench early in the 3rd and we can see james white and brian coo-errr never mind.

    Meh... I would, but I'd say that this team is flat-out RATTLED. Deke should wake them up, but the defeatist in me says "Too little, too late."

    Amen. They can't shoot any better than that, and we can't shoot worse.
