    Blame Yao Rafer and Landry, they choked. They couldnt come through in the pressure. They showed why Tmac is needed.

    Hey, even though we lost, I have to say that that was a good game. Both teams played pretty well, and Von Wafer was unbelievable tonight. I think this is a very good sign for the Rockets, who almost won, without 2 of their stars. So, good game.

    Sure terrible ending, but wow what a one sided officiating crew! They had 4 times as many free throw attempts than us. Not sure how Kobe's full bucket drive into yao ming in the 2nd quarter wasnt more obvious an offensive foul. All in all Free throw attempts is what kept L A in this game. We played great.

    Any coach in NBA knows Rafer is not a fourth quarter material except Rick Adelman.

    Not that a "moral victory" does anything for you in the Western Conference but this team deserves a lot of credit for having the Lakers on the ropes the way they did. What can you do when guys like Ariza defy odds and get hot from downtown or Kobe hits impossible shots?

    smh...

    Rafer is a cancer ON the court. He tried to play hero and blew an easy shot, two free throws, and completely forgot about Wafer in the 4th.

    Bad Refs+Rafer= Loss

    The lakers got spotted 20 points in free throws from teh jump and the only reason reafer had the rock at the end wa because they denied all the passing lanes.



    Nobody's fault we were undermanned and still should have won the game. Kobe misses the three we win this game yall.



    The lakers can't handle Yao just wait until tracy and Yao come back. The lakers are softttt and got handed 20 free throws as a spot.

    Team is complete garbage. Coach is an idiot. I cant believe he choose rafer over aaron for the last play.. ummm

    We're paying a 20 mio knee jerk glass guy.

    Argh, very hard to watch this team play, especially when yao runs out of gas in the 4th qrt.

    For years a lot of us have been calling for a new starting PG, and Rafer retains his starting spot by default
