    Brooks need to mix up a little bit when he makes the pass. The no look and flip over the should pass becomes very predictable and hence prone to turnovers.

    Screw all of you who are criticizing the Rockets. They're playing without Ming and McGrady, they had the lead for half the 1st quarter, and, oh, by the way, they're only through the first quarter. Some of you are pathetic, pathetic fans and you make my stomach turn. I'm out for the rest of the evening, thank God.

    Damn this is the NBA, calm down already after one quarter the doubters are out. The Rockets have to stay calm amongst the Lakers run. The Rockets just need to get this down by the end of the 2nd. Collins is sucking the Lakers already.

    Lowry to start next season. McGrady to play the two spot and Artest can warm the bench.

    P.S. I've been critisising Brooks and Artest all season.

    If the Lakers advance what are the Chances that the Nuggets can get them?

    Melo has had a crap season against Lakers.

    Cavaliers look invincible, lets hope that stays that way.

    AB is horrible tonight so far. He may have good games here and there. But he just lacks consistency and sufficient IQ to be successful.

    Not with the ticky-tack they slapped him with in the first. But they desperately need some low post help.

    Exactly. We play pretty bad defense and on offense it is all 1 on 1. No ball movement at all.

    5 quick fouls to get the Lakers in the penalty 1/2 way through the quarter, 2 of which were on Hayes.

    1 Laker foul up until the final 5 seconds of the quarter.

    Color me unsurprised.

    You guys read too much into the score. The way refs blowing whistles put too much pressure on our D, that is why Lakers went up so quickly. On the offense end, AB and Ron had to do a much job though.
