    Gasoft starting fronting him later. I don't get why international centers like Gasoft and Okur are so good at defending Yao.

    if yao can take advantage of his good looks, we're in good shape.

    also, we have to start taking kobe out of the game; the lakers without him look soft.

    It seems like the announcer are always speaking from the opposing teams point of view no matter who we play. . . Lakers, Blazers, Suns...

    We can't let Kobe heat up in the second half.

    Gotta stay on D and hopefully Yao gets some better shots.

    Seriously, Yao should stop his turn around jumpers. He is overpowered and referees wont give him calls.

    A good half played by the Rockets. Would have liked to see them not dribble so much at times giving the Lakers a chance to D up on them pretty well. We just have to keep our level of play up and for the love of God...don't fade in the 4th!

    I wouldn't say that. Yao has been average at best. Missing easy shots.

    Lakers D has been very good however.

    this is the game the lakers will do bad offensively in b/c they've been off for 7 days. we MUST take this game if we have a chance in this series.

    i expect yao to play better though. he faced too many single coverages to not do better.

    wafer/shane and others gotta step up. we need shane to be some type of force offensively

    Brooks' FT% in the playoff is so bad...

    Good FT shooter but needs to be more consistent.

    They are going to come out guns blazing.

    We have to continue to dictate the pace of the game.

    Scola, we need big shots.

    Yao needs to take advantage with his strength over Bynum and Gasol. Yao's stronger than both of them by a LOT.

    Too bad he's in foul trouble. Yao needs to be more aggressive. Kobe got hot in the end, not good. :(
