    Nope, we would still have no inside presence, you don't see Pau dominating the paint do you, that was Bynum.....

    Pau is declining rapidly.

    Kyle Lowry is one one-third of the money he deserves, i absolutely love this guy.

    Mchale needs to think things through a bit more, T-Will had 2 steals, and was playing defense, passing the ball well and yet no burn in the 2nd half - even after we lost Lee.

    because going to the rim isn't the only way that you can get fouled. Its just the most obvious one.

    Houston didn't suck, but we didn't play 100% either. Rockets were outmatched against a team with not only 2 star big, but an all-star SG, and a team that had balanced scoring between them. Houston's best chance is keeping it close and beating them in the end... just couldnt pull it out.

    but the thing is, LA WAS GETTING CALLS that Houston simply was not getting even when we did take it in. The first quarter was atrocious, every time down the floor LA would get some ticky tack foul called. it is what it is I guess.

    Really? Is that so easy with GasolĀ“s 14 pts? Hope you meant Marc Gasol. That dude is playing superior bball to his older brother.

    I was watching the same game as you. You tell me how we attempt 18 more shots then them but seem to always take 18-20 foot jumpers. I know people love looking at the box score on this site, might wanna check that out too.

    Yeah but we'd be losing our current top 2 scorers in Martin and Scola, plus the Slovenian Westbrook and a first round draft pick IIRC.

    I agree with you. I was not impressed with his play. He seemed very slow footed today. That fake on Scola was in slow motion.

    Pau is not declining, he just came off his best season.

    Bynum was just overpowing our guys and dunking.

    The trade would of been amazing for the Rockets.

    Lowry + Pau + Nene + Hayes > Lowry + Martin + Scola

    McFail lost this game when he decided to go small against Twin Towers. One of the most idiotic decisions by Rockets coach in a while especially when Bynum and Gasol were playing good. Moron just gave them an advantage.
