    At least nobody can blame Joey "effing" Crawford for us losing.

    Artest showed up once or twice in 7 games...he is really a shadow of himself and defensively...shane is officially the best on ball defender in the league

    We are playing hard. Lakers are just playing better because of homecourt.

    When Kobe guards AB, AB must attack! Don't be scared of him Aaron!

    Sorry, but a

    healthy tmac + healthy yao + role players --> ring

    This is not a correct chemical equation.

    Because both can't stay healthy.

    because LA wasnt exploiting it, it took them 3 games to realize all they had to do was keep going to Gasol and bynum to open up the floor for their others guys to drive in

    Realistically I didn't expect the Rox to win this game but I was hoping that we might just score the upset. What I did expect was a contested game- that has been the most painful part of watching the performance thus far. Hopefully we wil come out in the 2nd half focused and put some damn points on the board and grab a rebound or two- 32% from the field and a 12 rebound deficit is almost too painful to bear. Come on Rox get it together! I'm still rooting here.

    They have better talents, and we are shorthanded, no doubt about it. But, we couldn't play any worse. I still have hope for the second half. We shouldn't forget about the score, play possession by possession. There is no way to go, but up.

    We'll have a big comeback in the 2nd half. This would be epic!

    Okay...this game isn't over yet. But RA has to make a serious half time adjustment.

    I think we start AB, Lowry, Battier and Scolandry and take a few lumps on defensive to get our offense going. Hopefully they miss a few shots and we can hustle up on the defensive rebound if we send all 5 guys with the rebounding assignment. Our guards can get those long rebounds if they stay in for them and stop looking to leak out, which aint been happening anyway.

    Then when we get on offense, we get the ball down low to Scola and let him make his move, or hit Landry for a dunk, or hit AB or Shane for an open three. Last case scenario, Lowry comes down the middle of the lane for a pass from Scola and finishes strong after the foul. All that if Scola is double teamed, or I like Scola taking his shot one on one.

    We can get this down to under ten if we come out strong in the third and then the Fakers will show their true colors and panick.

    The bold move would be to go small. Play Artest at the 4 with 2 pt guards and let us assert ourselves.
