    Keys to winning:
    - More Yao touches
    - More ball movement
    - Less rushed shots
    - More penetration
    - Wafer needs to step up
    - More fast breaks

    Rockets did not move a lot on offense therefore we had a lot of shots late in the clock shot, shot clock violations, TOs and some prayers that were answered. I expect Artest not to be this red hot and Kobe to get hot so we better D up and let's hope the refs let them play.
    Also the Lakers could've been in foul trouble a lot earlier because they picked up their 4th foul with like 5 mins left. We never took advantage of the foul situation and the fast break.

    Why can't we build a 20 point lead that way Kobe can do whatever he wants the last 5 minutes.

    it seems like every time we shoot a long shot there's nobody under the basket to rebound.

    keep Kobe's hands cold for 12 more min, then there is hope.
    if lose leading after 3 qua, chance is slim.
    DEFENCE!!!
    heyes!

    Rockets turned it over 3 times on incomplete passes to Yao. That can't happen in the second half.

    I thought we played poor first half. The offense was not flowing.

    We can win this. Let go Rockets.

    Yao should have dominated in the first half. He missed some easy shots that he normally makes. I agree with what the Inside the NBA crew were saying. We should be disappointed that the lead is not more than 3 points right now. Let's hope that we can still play tight defense and don't give them fast break opportunity and turn up our offensive efficiency on the other hand. This is a very good chance for us to steal one game from their court.

    Make no mistake. Laker's run is coming. It comes down to how well the Rox will defend. Black Mamba? Houston's Animal Control is in the building. :D

    exactly. yao needs to seal his man. gasol keeps sneak around him to poke it away or he pulls the char and yao loses his balance before he can catch the ball.

    our PG needs to become aggressive...PG is one of the paltry positions where we can take advantage...
