    I was surprised to hear Magic Johnson say that the leaders of the Lakers team was Bryant and Fisher. Pau Gasol has it good.

    We kept Kobe out of the game! Great defense guys. We were able to control the game from the start. Beat LA

    I thought we have a chance to win. But the score , wow. We once leaded by 29 in the third quarter. Incredible! I love the rockets and houston is where amazing happens.

    Fun stat: Over the last two games, Kobe is 18 for 45 from the field, averaging 4 FTAs per game.

    if i were kobe, i'd have slashed to the rim a lot more today; especially with yao out. even if i miss, there's gasol to grab a rebound.

    but maybe kobe is starting to showing his age (in a bball sense), too.

    Man Battier is such a badass. It's all started with him draining the threes and playing lock down defense. He probably took out Odumb too. Brilliant.

    with yao, we can actually looking for the championship. without yao, we are still a good team. so so so proud of our guys. brave heart is priceless. whether you win or loss, I'll love you forever. I'm proud to be a rockets fan.

    the lakers wont face any other team with the rockets kind of defense. no other team has two defensive wings who can hound kobe all night, and a PF in chuck hayes who can defend pau gasol like noones business. they get past us, they WILL win the championship.

    denver isn't going to beat LA because they dont play D either. its going to be a shootout, and cleveland just doesnt have enough scoring or defense to beat LA.

    everything was great until the 4th quarter, we need to do a better job closing the game if we want to win this series

    My friend is tellin me that Yao started to tear up whenever he was being interviewed in the sideline. This true??? I saw the interview but maybe missed the part where he got emotional?
