You'll see, this game for huge for our mentality. We'll be more focused and intense. I've seen this before. This team is slowly but surely getting tougher. We'll win 1 for sure. 3 or 4, doesn't matter.

I will have faith. Can't wait for us to win game 3 and 4 with our bench showing up.

If LA can win at least one of the two in Houston we will win the series and LA will win at least one of the two. LA in six. That was my pick before the series and I am sticking with it. Hope I am wrong and they beat these jerks in 5

I think it might. But its how they play from here on out that dictates that.

They have the talent to win a title. Do they want it? Houston's bigs are really dominating us. But LA clamped down on defense and that won the game for LA.

I agree...Fish for MVP cuz he woke up their efforts in this game. If we can play that hard the rest of the series. We will win the next 3 games.

Yao didn't dominate anyone tonight. He got his butt dominated by Pau

It's funny how we ragged for not being tough (we still aren't as a team, the rebounding underneath is sad) but when we get into it with players or push someone around we're dirty.

hrm...when should i stop waiting for andrew bynum to show up?

There is no such thing as a frustrating win in the playoffs. Geez man. It is the NBA and isn't like Houston is dog meat. LA won. Enjoy it, life is so much better when you look at glass half full some of the time instead of half empty all the time. If sports made me that negative where I couldn't enjoy a win I would give it up and quit watching.[/quote]


Cleveland won by 27
Boston bounces back and dominates Orlando

Lakers struggle to beat Houston, but dominate the 2nd half.

Frustrating b/c I was expecting a blowout win from this team. A game that Houston had NOTHING to play for. A gimme game for LA (our token game). Beat Houston in Game 3, and I'll be most satisfied. Ecstatic.

I measure this team by their road wins, not their home ones...

That was one of the better games I've seen in a long time.... I love how our team has come together...if scola wants to start suttin with odom...he deals with D-Fish's elbow....That was such an awesome play...I just hope he doesnt get suspended for it... and when artest came after kobe...and kobe just shrugs him off. SMART PLAY KOBE!!!! Thats definetly the last thing u wanna do...Fire kobe up even more at the end of a game....GREAT GAME! LAKERS IN 5

Barkley can go straight to &*()

These guys tripping all over themselves to jizz over the Rockets

His...his...they...pib..pitbull! Pi...pitbull...Artest...pitbu...Scola..itbull

LA has been the best road team in the NBA this year.

What did Barkley say I was watching the press conference...

Yeah it's sickening. "LA isn't going to bully Houston? Houston isn't bullying LA either. As I said Barkley can go straight to &*(). I hate that fat *()

TNT's coverage on this is 100% BS...

not one mention of Scola's hack... and the elbow by Artest to start it...

The rockets are acting as the poor boy who gets beat up. And their going to suspend the bully.

im mfing pumped up man.

Haters are motivators!

LOLOLOLOL Ron Ron. Kobe's getting in his head.

i'm sorry but i laughed at that:
charles barkley looking around under the desk
ernie asks "what's going on? what in the world are you looking for?"
charles responds "andrew bynum"
later charles adds "last year i thought he was the missing piece, this year he really is the MISSING piece"

sad, but so true. drew please show up for game 3, kthx.
