    Yao has to pull a Willis Reed and put on a jersey and play...

    If we get within 13 points, same goes for Kneemac...

    Epic comeback!!

    So...who else noticed the blonde girl sitting next to Jack Nicholson? And why the hell doesn't ESPN have an Erin Andrews caliber sideline reporter for the bench? Not only is that lady's voice monotone, she's not that attractive...

    The refs have already called some phantom fouls and we're not getting any calls on offense so the refs are doing their job, but indeed, no excuse for this terrible play in a game 7.

    I have seen my share of game 7's and this has got to be the most pathetic, unreal, ugliest offensive, uncaring and sloppy game from a team I have ever seen. Don't even compare this team to the Rockets of the 80s or the Championship teams.

    I apologize for even thinking about it and also I want to apologize for ever comparing Wafer to Maxwell, the guy is not even close to what Maxwell was.
    31 points in a game 7 with Wafer as the top scorer with 8, really ? Did it really need to come down to this for Von to come out of his slump ??

    START. LAUNCHING. THREES.

    Whoever's open should pull the trigger regardless of what the shot clock is at or how many Rockets are in the paint. Toward the end of that half brooks was open at one point early in the shot clock but moved the ball around instead. He should be tossing them in immediately.

    Put in Dorsey! Here's your audition for next year!

    And if we have to go down, repay Kobe for each one of his elbows on Ron and Shane before you go out!!!

    Actually it is you that seem so dumb. We would not even be here if it wasn't for AB . He is still only a second year player with less than half a season of starting now playing in the biggest game of his life. Mistakes will happen...even to veterans. Every player needs time to grow...or did you come out of your mother's womb talking crap like this?

    Landry should start the second half and not Hayes.

    Lets cut it down to 10 before going to the 4th.

    I still Believe!

    Landry would be a better option a the 4, Artest hasn't been an offensive juggernaut. Wafer at SG instead of Lowry would be my choice.

    It would be a minor miracle to win with any lineup at this point. PJ beats RA in a game 7 again, PJ > RA undeniably.

    That's because we didn't execute.

    The main problem is the Lakers are making us look tentative.

    Beyond strategy, we should play more aggressive and confidently.
