    Tough loss. Dunno how to react. It's one of those games where I don't feel anyone is to blame except for the bad officiaiting at both ends of the court by the refs.

    the fact is, the rockets had a 15 point lead and blew it. they handed the game to the lakers, not the refs.

    Great game. Tough loss.

    The reason that we lost the game is that the Lakers bench totally outplayed our bench. And of course, Kobe is Kobe at the crutch time.

    Great game to Yao. And I like the fact that they went to Yao for the game winning basket.

    That bad call on SF TO and Shaq basket cost us the game.

    I don't mind the timeouts as much as the 6-8 minutes that the team stopped going to Yao.

    They got out smarted yet again.

    If the refs has called the game cleanly shaq would have been out quite a while ago.

    Lakers made the shots in the second half, that they missed in the second quarter.

    Nothing was "handed" to them.

    Reason why they lost: They stopped giving the ball to Yao in the fourth.

    I expected the Rockets to lose anyway. up 15 pts in the 2nd half and choked the game away. Classic rockets.

    No need for the Rockets to hold their heads down today. Great effort and that's all we can ask for.

    the win was in the pocket, but 3-minutes of stupid plays wasted a game. I think JVG owes us an explaination why the team walked away from Yao in that stretch and gave lakers a 13-0 run!

    Yao should take much of the blame. He did not take it over when his teammate failed to pass him the ball at the 4th quarter. He need to demand the ball. He's the man on the team now, at least when play against the Lakers. Yao should command the offense! Grow up!!

    This just shows how far this team has to go.

    Yao needs to be more assertive and DEMAND the ball.

    Francis and Mobley need to realize they are complimentary players and it is Yao's team.

    And the rest of the team needs to fill a role.

    Tonight Yao was dominating and for some strange unknown reason for about 8 minutes or so in the 4th the Rockets froze him out, and it cost them the game.
