    Even Jordan Hill was doing a better job than Scola. Why not put in Thabeet to tire Bynum out with 6 well fought fouls??

    Rockets - 4 free throw attempts
    Lakers - 14 free throw attempts

    Rockets - 3 turnovers
    Lakers - 10 turnovers

    Rockets - shooting 38%
    Lakers - shooting 53%

    How are we still in this game? It must be the turnovers! Take care of the ball, and we have a chance!

    Agreed. Especially with the numerous calls/non-calls that benefited the Lakers.

    Anyone notice how Bynum was extremely pissed at the end of the half?

    I dunno why Hill got take out so fast ... he was actually playing well at the start of the game ... i say put him in there instead of scola. IF you arent going to go to scola on the post Hill is faster and a better leaper and should be better for the zone

    Huge disparity in free throw attempts! If refs call it the same way on both sides of the court we go into half time with the lead and the F/G % would be a lot more even.

    Rockets players should camp at the 3. Why bother trying anything else?

    I really like these Lakers announcers. They are fair and not very biased. Watching this game online with a crap ass wireless signal from my neighbors is really painful to watch. I can tell who Scola and Bud are by the hair and pastiness, respectively, but everyone else looks the same.

    I'm really starting to get worried about Martin's lack of freethrow attempts lately.

    how the f are you supposed to play perimeter d when they call every ticky tack foul. If you're not going to give the calls to martin, fine, but don't give them to the dbags either! grr!


    ^^he mad

    If refs would call the game the same on both sides of the court the shooting percentages would be a lot closer and we would be winning. It's easy to have a 53% f/g% is everytime the team misses the refs call a foul that sends them to the damn line.

    I just want it called the same both ways. Either swallow your whistles or blow them on both ends. Lakers shoot 14 free throws to the Rockets 4 and one of the Rockets free throws came on a 3 second violation.
