Lakers should feel embarrassed for losing 30 point against a team without its best player. If I was the Laker player, I would feel so much embarrassed and would forgo the series right away and let the real warriors to compete in the conference final games
Magic: "I don't think the Rockets can win, but they can make it interesting." Magic, Maybe it isn't to you, but this series is already interesting to me.
If the Lakers lose on Tuesday, they're done. If they don't protect home court again, you can kiss their season good bye. Even if they manage to get past Houston, this lost, game 1 lost, inconsistency (esp. on defense), they're partial mental meltdown in game 2, and soft inside play will be the reason they lose in one of the next two rounds.
Magic is a Lakers fan, as he should be, it's like asking Bill Simmons about Celtics basketball or RedSox baseball. It's emotional. That being said... WAY TO MAKE HIM EMBARRASSED Rockets!
yeah that was the last game of the season. i wanted that division title so bad, even though my head was telling me it probably wouldn't mean too much...
What the heck was Artest thinking when we lead by 10+ with 1+ minute left? Twice he put the shots up with a lot of time on the clock, and both of those were terrible shot selection, Adelman must had a heart attack out on the sideline. You would think after so many years in this league, the guy have learned a thing or two!
the best thing to me is shane outscoring kobe. who'd thunk of that? i know it's not like a 3-ot game, but this is espn classic worthy game. man i am still pumped. people need to stop complaining about the 4th quarter. there is no such a thing as a perfect game. and i never felt we were threatened at any point of the game.
GREAT game today! Part of me can't help but wonder if it's in part due to the fact that I could NOT record this game (OR Game 3) and because I was unable to watch until the 2nd half! 29 3s in today's game, right?!? Great job by Shane, AB, Chuck, and Red Rowdy Crew! I love it - feeling good about Thursday night too! BattiersBaby.
I will remember this game for a long time. Shane 23, Kobe 15......... Never saw Kobe shouting " he can't guard me " not once. Hat's off to Shane, one of the classiest players in the league. Phil Jackson says, " give the Rockets some f-----g credit." That was good stuff. AB, if you're open, shoot it man.
