    You are being a little foolish. When the Rockets are down their 2 centers, and have 3 decent options in the front court, he is the Rockets' Bill Russell.

    He is very important to the teams success.

    Also, it is good to hear that Doug is interested if we can even keep it close in game 6.

    It is not like we have beaten the Lakers with this group of guys anyway. Right?

    Kevin Bacon is looking a little fruity sitting court side.

    such an over stated cliche.

    Really? the Lakes just laid down for 48 minutes? after they already did it once this series? with so much at stake? no. We beat them. we didn't "catch them off gaurd". We hit our shots and took care of the ball, if we do that in game 6 we probably win again.

    I have never heard so many excuses made for a team who is supposed to be soooo good.

    I guess James White can't dunk with a defender in front of him, only in dunk contests...

    Finally Cook put in the last 5 minutes of the 4th of a blowout...For today at least--on a day when he didn't have it--that's when he should be played

    Was Jordan Fagmar trying to talk crap to Brent Barry before they hi-fived each other?

    Agreed totally with the first part. The Lakers are so so cocky they thought they could half-ass it and coast to a victory. Hopefully, they'll come out in Game 6 like that instead of going for the kill.

    This Lakers team isn't very tough mentally. If we can start off shooting hot like Game 4 anything is possible. Of course, we'll have to play another near perfect game in order to win another game this series but make no mistake about it: this Lakers team isn't all there mentally. They easily could allow this.

    I need to work on my sarcasm. Maybe the rolling eyes would help.
