Props to Theus for sitting Artest the last 15 minutes of the game after he got out of control. The Kings won this game despite very poor officiating and their own stupidity. The Lakers announcers are one of the best in the NBA. I love listening to them.
Lakers lose at home too..so sweet..so sweet. Media needs to tone down their love for the fakers. If lakers are that dominant, they shouldnt lose to Kings at home. Rockets almost did thanks Novak
Great point. I'm glad I get to listen to them everygame. I used to enjoy listening to Calvin Murphy and Jim Patterson, but now with Murphy gone it's not the same high quality. Back to the game. It's good for the Lakers that they lost this game. They have to realize that whinning after every call is not how you win a championship.

Heck, the Rockets had to deal with Artest's solid play, and we still won, while Artest didn't even play in the 4th quarter against the Lakers, and they still lost. I watched the entire game and the Lakers defense isn't all that good to be honest.
Their defense normally isn't this bad. Clearly the players weren't mentally prepared for this game. I almost can't blame them because losing to the Lakers seems to be part of the Queens DNA.
I couln't tell what side were they on. They were ripping on both team...thats pretty funny,a non homer announcer.
I agree, when I first started listening to the game, I thought I was hearing the Kings' announcers. I'm not sure I've ever heard any other announcers as fair and balanced.
That starts with Chick Hearn, who was as balanced as they come. He was the best. He would criticize the Lakers all the time.
I am a Rocket's fan living in Laker terrority. I get along great with Laker's fans. They are very gracious to other team's fans and not overly prideful despite their astounding history. In short, they are exactly the opposite of Dallas Cowboy fans!
Pwned by Beno Udrih? Wow ....I just also realized how crappy the Lakers' bench is too No wonder they traded for Pau
