    Dorsey played big minutes for a winner (Memphis).

    Cook played small minutes for winner (Lakers).

    So no, I don't accept that he would do worse.

    There was absolutely no need to blow the whistle on that play. Do the refs get a bonus if every Laker scores in double digits or something?

    The Lakers D has been better, but at the end of the day, we are just missing wide open shots.

    The media is going to be jumping all over the Fakers D, but we missing so many open looks.

    Without the inside presence, we have to be able to make shots in game 6.

    We can do this.

    You think a team with no centers, no consistent scoring threats and no shot blocking presence would be an underdog going on the road to a 60 win team they just punked? Good God, people act like they invented the wheel with their prediction of this game.

    Under current circumstances. Not being with the team for months. Plantar fasciitis. Just now developing a hook shot.

    College ball =/= NBA =/= NBA playoffs.

    Those guys said we were better without Yao should shut up now.
    Shooting jumpers can't kill other teams in a 7-game series.
    Last game, we were lucky coz we made too many jumpers and Lakers were not well prepared to face a Yao-less rox team.
    This season is over, we should get a decent backup center this summer and limit Yao's minutes.
    I really hope T-Mac can get healthy soon, with a 80%+ T-Mac, other teams will never double and front Yao so desperately.
