Battier is a player that every fan would love to have on their team. Guy is a hellauva player.

I just think it's funny that while the Rockets are considered to be playing "great" right now, but then the Lakers who are obviously rusty (6 days off.. a bit too much) are only down by 3. If this is the Rockets playing great, they're going to need to pull another gear out of their ass, or something because when the Lakers turn the lights on they're gonna ground those Rockets.

Well nobody said it would be a sweep, including myself
This just means instead of 5 it's probably going 6.

ok thats fine. I'm gonna quote Rasheed Wallace here. "They will not win game 2"
"They" being Houston

They probably wont win game 2, but they have home court now, which matters.

The Rockets did exactly what they needed to do, take home court advantage and they did. This is a series ladies and gentlemen.

Im so glad Orlando won as well. Cuz Im rlly tired of the Celtics.

As for the Mavs, Game 2, we need to play much better and get back in this series.

I don't plan on them winning game 2, but you gotta think they have a way better chance than before the series began.

I mean Artest, Yao, and Brooks dominated their counterparts. If Battier can control Kobe, this series is alot closer than most analysts first believed

Houston played great no doubt
But the Lakers know what they did wrong and are gonna make some adjustments.
This game shouldnt suprise anyone because everyone picked the Lakers in 5, 6, or 7.

I'm not worried at all. All they did was give us a wake-up call. We're fine
Houston played flawless and the Lakers still had their chances late in the game even though we played awful. We missed a lot of 3's and they weren't all part of Houston's D.

Like I said up there. Lakers in 6 instead of 5 is all this means

Houston did not play flawless.. Why are you underestimating them so much, the Lakers aren't un-beatable.

Cavs up 4 after the 1st quarter where the Hawks shot over 60%, time to take this game over.

Josh smith and lebron are so alike in terms of natural ability. But the iq set them apart.

Just realized Delonte cut his hair. Ben just packed Marvin, I didn't see a foul.

Damn, it's going to be hard to use Z this series. Whenever he is in Josh Smith is tearing us apart because he is way too fast for Z.

Up by 5 at the half. That's too close.
