    I thought Yao is a turn over machine...Am I wrong...Scola is so much worse in that department.

    If we were hitting our shots and were down by 25, I wouldnt have given up either. But we cant hit wide open shots, so even if they go cold for a while, I doubt we will be able to score enough to bring it close.

    As bad as the Rockets played this half to virtually end the game, if they would have just made four or five more shots, they would still be in this game.

    More than the turnovers, the poor offense and defensive intensity, the worst thing about this game is that they are shooting without any confidence at all...just hoping the ball might go in.

    We've never been a comeback team. 30 pts is a very hard obstacle, especially at Staples Center. This is just not our night.

    You can only go so far as to winning without your star players...

    This team has never made anything easy. I love what they have done in the playoffs and continue to do. Can't give up have to take something into game 6 in H-Town.

    without Yao, it's a jump shot team. can not consistent produce your offense. live or die on 3 pts. Simple as it is.

    Rockets have not come out with the same intensity like they did @ home.

    The bench which was key in the comeback in game 2 has not shown up which is a shame.

    Both Doug Collins and Kevin Harlan must be Laker-paid employees. They don't even attempt to be neutral. Turning the sound off the TV and turning on 610 Sports for audio.
