    Because it's not like Lowry has missed a layup this game. Oh, wait . . .

    Man, I know the lakers are still the more talented team but the Rockets need to win this one, Rockets don't have a chance from behind in the series.

    Hey man, at least Kyle Lowry makes the correct passes and the correct decisions. He failed at finishing, yeah... So? You expect him to finish everything? Lowry is a PG, Aaron Brooks is a SG.

    please SHUT THE HELL UP if you don't know what you're talking about...seriously...do you all know what a turnover is?!?!

    he has ONE FREAKING TURNOVER. stop trying to make him the scapegoat, it's the golden trio of Yao/Scola/Artest that are turning the ball over. BLAME THEM.

    exactly. too many WeMissDekeMan's and shortfuse3's and everybody else b****ing about every little play like it's the end of the world or complaining incessantly about one subject. they're lucky Clutch has more patience than i do.

    Brooks has 3 or 4 TOs already.

    Really? I never liked Brooks and I never will. That's just who I am, I am a fan of pass-first PGs.

    I expect Lakers to start second half with fronting defense against Yao. They will be fronting and pressuring the ball handlers.

    If Rockets are not aggressive and they don't keep attacking the pressure, Lakers will pounce on them.

    he's 6-13, only has one assist and hasn't gone to the free throw line. that's pretty much exactly what we're going for.

    ERRRR....incorrect...Yao is tired because the TEAM keeps turning the ball over, which means the Lakers get to run the other way and Yao has to sprint the length of the court, only to sprint right back after a quick LA miss or score.

    JVG on Wafer, paraphrasing...

    When Von put the call on floor, I know one thing for sure, he's not going to pass the ball.


    I truly think he thinks he is the younger version of Kobe. :mad:

    Who said Wafer was going to light the Lakers up ? Guess he needs to be lit himself because we need his energy off the bench, not that senseless forcing it in while the Lakers collapse on him. Battier needs to be more involved, Lowry needs to calm the f down, AB needs to play with more confidence, Scola needs to play the same way and so is Yao. Where is Artest by the way ??
