What a horrible game from the Rockets last night. They quit the game when the Lakers made that 12-2 run in 1st. After that, I changed the channel and never looked back. The chances of winning game 6 after a 40pt beat down, NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!
agree with you that the orlando collapse was a worse "beat." i like your optimism, i'm still cling to mine as well. we need everything to break right for us and have little margin for error. go rox.
Yes, yes, yes, yes... And a big YES. As soon as Chuck went to the bench with foul trouble, it was over. When Chuck has 4 of your first 10 points, things aren't going to go well. All I can say is, the Lakers did what they are supposed to do against a short-handed Rockets team at home. They don't deserve credit for that. They did what they are supposed to do. I would have like to have seen more fight out of our team, but they just didn't have it last night. I'm disappointed, but not mad. They have exceeded my expectations already in this series. Not just two wins, but how they won each of those games. I'm hopeful for a game 7, but again, if the Lakers do what they are supposed to do against an inferior team with a short bench, it isn't likely. The Rockets have to play a perfect game just to keep it close. 4 or 5 bad possessions in a row can mean the game. They proved it last night in the 2Q.
not gonna really argue with your points except to say that this was a team loss. no need to point fingers at this stage of the game. go rox
from the first game, rockets has been on a miracle~we lost T-MAC in the middle,so what? we flick Portland~when we had to begin the second round in Los to fight with Bryant, what happened? people think our team is a trifle. however we won the respect by fighting~we can`t expect miracles occur again and again.we may lose, but all our effort will be remembered!
No, the Rockets killed the Rockets. The Lakers killed the Rockets. If you seriously think the refs decided the outcome of game 5, well... you may be a fool.
It has become painfully clear that the injuries that plague this team aren't going away. I really don't know what else to say except we really have to seriously look at sitting Yao for 20-30 games every season from now on. Those stress fractures are obviously a symptom of his bones not being able to handle the workload of his 300+ lbs frame and its only going to get worst as he gets older. We can probably beat about half the teams in the NBA fielding this team, but the Lakers are not one of them.
first time in LONG time i had to stop watching the game. cant remember the last time i was so mad at the team
without yao and mac, the lakers should of beaten us by 40 points every night....but in game 4, our emotions ran high and thats what made that game amazingg.... we don't have even close to the fire power that the lakers have which is pretty amazing that we won game 4 lose game 6, who cares....but we will remember game 4 for a LONG TIME and the whooping we gave them
