    This game is still winnable.

    We just weren't decisive in the 1st half and we're only down 20.

    Also let Artest play. In game 1 he just played. His aggression just needs to be controlled/channeled by Brooks/Adelman but he needs to be himself.

    Jeez...I'll give the Laker's credit for their defense in the 1st quarter, but the Rockets have clearly been snakebit in putting that ball in the basket. If all the shots that rimmed out actually went in, it would be around a 10pt game. And if all the shots that got short armed went in, it would be to single digits. The Laker's offense hasn't exactly exploded either. They only have 51 points. Combination of bad luck, Laker's D, and Rockets playing tight has led to this blowout so far.

    Around 30 points for the half. That's horrible. And what's worse is that if the Lakers go on to win today, we're gonna hear never ending drivel from the media about how the Laker's finally showed up to play and they finally showed why they are the superior team. BS. I have no doubt that they currently have more talent, but the Rockets are better than this, no matter how good the Lakers are playing. But it's always about what the Lakers are or are not doing.

    Surprisingly, Joey Crawford has not done very much.


    Only because we've shot ourselves out of the game... :(

    We can be down 100, and I am still going to cheer this team on. They are allowed to lose this series, and I am still 100% proud to have been a fan.

    We are still in this thing. Hoping they go back to arrogance mode. All we need is a good 5 min to cut this thing to 10 pts to put doubts in their minds. Lakers are mentally weak.

    Game over...we don't have the firepower to cut the lead. Only hope is to go on a run and cut the lead to 10 by the 4th.
    Oh well....it is what it is.....

    We're being reactive. In this game we need to assert ourselves.

    Ok i stop watching! Just like I stop watching in Game 5. This team inconsistency is ridiculous. JUST TAKING CARE OF THE DAMM BADDD AND PLAY SMART!! Why the **** they never learn this shyt!!

    Aaron Brooks...stop ****ing jump up before you pass the ball and get intercepted. How many times have he done that before he realize it AIN'T working!!

    And Artest stop ****ing shooting like you're REALLY a good shooter?? Be smart and start posting up dumb ****!!

    These are what killed us. And it wasn't about Lakers playing great D...it's just dumb Rockets basketball.

    I would start Brooks, Wafer, Artest, Battier, and Landry.

    Put Artest on Gasol and put Landry on Bynum and just go for it.
