Kobe is amazing to watch in person. I know he missed a lot of shots but he gets off whatever shot he wants at all times against Battier and Artest.

Yao is weak. Even before the ankle sprain the guy barely fights for rebounds. If he was tougher, he would be unstoppable.

The atmosphere was great. There was a huge fight at halftime outside of the Jack Daniels bar. Some LA fights got beat up bad, it was terrible actually because it was the only place the crowd could go smoke. There is only one entrance in and out so cops could not make it outside. Honestly the LA fans did nothing but step outside and the Rockets' fans were chanting curse words at them. The next thing you know it was a brawl. There needs to be more places to go outside at Toyota Center to get rid of that problem. Too many people, drunk mostly, with no elbow room. It was bound to happen.

Couldn't pass it up. Fisher wasn't playing, so he could have elbowed you some room.  ::) People fighting over sports is childish anyway. I really don't understand that. Disagreeing, of course, but not actually coming to blows.

Rockets have to win the next game or it's over. Not sure how many teams have come back from 3-1. Probably not many.

Even Mr. Cool and collcted Phil blew a gasket in the Post game interview.  'The Rockets played a great game!  Give them some (curse word) credit ' Said Jackon to a reporter that kept asking him was this embarrassing.  Majic Johnson said Laker Players, fans, coaches, and the organization should be embarrassed and somebody better get their butts chewed in that locker room! 

Keep it up, Rockets!

About time you showed up Soulja.  ;D These Laker fans think the Lakers are some kind of gods or something.  ::)

Since Yao joined the Rockets, the Lakers have never won when Yao was out of the lineup....at least that's what I thought I read in a caption after the game.

Battier and Brooks tore them a new one!!!

Go Rockets!!!

Yes, I'm here.  I just was a little down after a Laker fan text me and told me Yao was out for the year.  I was almost scared to watch the game.  ;D  Its good that we will make the Lakers crap for everything.  Also, our boys know they can win without Yao.  Sure it will be hard as heck, but ...

I believe in my Rockets.

DONT STOP BELIEVING!!!!

Can't believe the Rockets won so big!

Guess the Lakers thought they had it in the bag with Yao Ming out.

WOW!!!

If the Rockets do win this thing...

I can't think of one time a team won without their top two "stars" not in the game.

Just goes to show you what believing can do!

First game this season that the Lakers trailed from start to finish!!!!! and without YAO!!!!!! Someone already mentioned their 22 game streak last year. Yao played in like the first 8 games of the streak and then got hurt.

Best 2 out of 3 now.

Until my team is eliminated, I stick with them.

Go Rockets!!!!!

All I kept hearing on radio, TV and on here was the Lakers had no heart and the Rockets were playing with more passion. Well the roles were reversed and you could see it coming a mile away.

I agree Lazeek, Denver could easily jump up and beat LA next round.

you should never question a ood teams heart. the Lakers did what they was suppose to do. Now let's see if they respond tomorrow night. Winning tomorrow night will reestablish them as the team to beat in the West.

When you play a good team like L.A., you cannot turn the ball over that many times, which most of them went for scores on the other end.  It was apparent that L.A. decided to exploit their size difference as you see the taller L.A. players easily grab rebounds by tipping it to themselves on many occasions.  We are going to need to find another way to score than just jacking 3's up.  (take notes, Artest).
