    Who is going to stop Lamar, I don't Landry can contain Odom and Scola is too slow. I just finished seeing a highlight (ESPN) of Odom rising over Artest and making a basket.and Fisher better not get more than 2 pts , he is a scrub.

    If Ron and Aaron are hitting their jumpers tonight I think we can take this one as long as it is not close going into the 4th

    Is it accurate to think if the Bulls can take the Celtics to 7 games and the Hawks last year took the Celtics to 7 games, then we have a chance to win the series? Or because the Lakers beat the Cavs twice this season and swept the Celtics as well, they are on a whole new level? And because they are East teams that would not do as well in the West?

    People are saying the Rockets have to play near perfect to take the series. If that truly is the case then I don't see it happening.

    But, since they just have to have 1 more point than LA at the buzzer, then it will hinge on three main tasks: 1)Defense 2)Rebounding and 3)Shooting a little above their season average. (Importance in that order.)

    Poise and confidence will also be keys. If the Lakers get a 12-15 point lead, the Rockets may lose their poise and get away from their game plan. Then look for a snowball effect.

    If it were me, I'd get the team to attack the rim -- try to get some early fouls -- and not settle for jumpers. Mix it up.

    Game 1 is traditionally (I think) the best opportunity for a road team to win in the playoffs. Get 'er done.

    During the regular season the Rockets went 2-4 when Foster was an official including 0-2 on the road. When DeRosa was an official the Rockets went 2-1 including 1-1 on the road. When Brothers was an official the Rockets went 3-2 including 3-1 on the road. The Rockets are 1-0 during the postseason when Brothers is an official.
