Damn, it's the Lakers! It's fate, guys. This is really a team I don't want to face. Incredible shots by Kobe at the end of the regular session and the end of second OT. Who can guard Kobe in the PO? We will be lucky to win one game in the series.
It's official!! Rockets vs. Lakers!! I dunno how it happened, but the Lakers won on a last second 3 in 2OT. Houston, we have a chance!
YES, it's the LAKERS! Probably without Malone! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! My dream matchup. I think the Rockets have a good chance to do well in this series. I'm not saying they'll win it, but they could make it a seven game series. Thank you Kobe! Now please have an awful series!
WHOO HO000000000O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been calling this for a month. Somehow, I knew it would happen. Bring it!
Why are people scared of the Lakers? The Rockets have matched up well with them, and Karl Malone is hurt and is hobbled off the court, and I think George is also hurt. Lakers played no defense, and they were lucky to be in position to hit that shot.
Record setting ratings!!! Just wait. Looks like Malone will be injured for a while. Bad ankle sprain tonight.
I'm sorry... I'd much rather face a team that has never won a championship, or one that has players who have never won an MVP... than a team chock full of both. But, the NBA got what they want. At least we'll be in prime-time for every single game...
Yao said that the team he wants to face least in the PO is the Lakers. Lakers is just a different team in the PO.
Shaq vs. Yao in a 7 game series... it's an NBA fan's wet dream. With Malone out, I honestly believe the Rockets have a chance of pulling off an upset. The Lakers, while a damned good team, are a team the Rockets match up pretty well with. Thoughts/comments on the series?
And you thought the refs had it in for the Rockets before. Imagine how one-sided the calls will be in a 1st round series against the Fakers.
hmm... Not sure if I want to make the 6 hours drive down there... But I think we have a better chance against them..
Malone won't be out for sure... this is all just speculation right now. Besides, with our PF's, he could play on one leg and still dominate us. IT'll be fun!
WOW! What an exciting end to the regular season... Kobe in unreal.. the guy seriously can drain killer shots.. I think this is a blessing in disguise.. We have a chance against the Lakers. The only prob now is with Yao being so tired, he has to face Shaq in a 7 game series... I guess better early in the playoffs, than later.. GO ROX!!
