  okay, i'm waiting for the lakers to get into a rhythm...but happily seeing that they're not! haha. it looked silly looking at the screen and seeing that they only had one point. |

This is ridiculous. Blatant cheating. Game is rigged to go into a game 7.

Hell no it isn't. Just shit calls as usual. Rockets have been robbed on shit, so the refs try to make it up by calling stupid shit on the lakers, then they realize they just called stupid shit and they swing it back around.

Yeah, it's bad calls all around, just one team will get more benefit over their shit calls than the other.

^i don't think that. the lakers just plain did not play well last night, and orlando got a good run at the end.

the referring without question has been awful all playoffs, but i don't think the reason we're going to game 7 in LA is cause it was "rigged". i mean it's not like the lakers played amazing and didn't win. they lakers played like shit and didn't win, if this is how they plan to keep playing on the road it's gonna be a tough time to the championship for them. especially since they don't come across a very tough team at all right now imo. their first quarter was embarrassing and i don't see how refs had much to do with that. they couldn't make shots, that's why they had to play catch up for the entire game. on top of that they looked lazy half the time.
houston isn't a bad team, but houston is an injured team and they're still playing better basketball than LA half the time. what's that say about the lakers when they can't compete against a team who's stars are all hurt? they're completely inconsistent right now. since they lakers play on and off and were off last game, i'm sure they'll be on in game 7. they'll probably win, but i really hope they don't. |

lol. everyone loves the underdog houston, but i'm always gonna stick with my lakers. the lakers didn't play well last night. the only ones who have heart on the lakers right now is trevor ariza and kobe bryant. derek fisher is too old and its showing. phil jackson should put farmar to start and play him more. bynum needs to grow some balls and start dunking on these 6'6 hayes and shit guys. also, i don't understand why people think this houston team sucks without yao. u know this houston team without yao won like 22 games in a row last year right? the funny thing is, if yao had never got injured, i think the lakers would've beat them in 5. but because of the adjustments of yao being gone, houston is a completely different team for the lakers to play.
you can't deny you don't want to see a lebron-kobe matchup. that's too epic too past. hey, remember last year when boston went 7 games to a 38 win Atlanta team last year, and 7 games with the cavs. everyone was questioning that team. but eventually hey they won a championship that year didn't they? |

25% for houston doesn't sound very loving :[
Chuck Hayes is one of the strongest guys in the league. Battier and Artest are some of the best defenders in the league. Aaron Brooks is the fastest in the league. If you told me the Rockets would have gone this far without Yao, Tmac, AND Mutombo, I don't think I would have ever seen it coming. Rockets D is good, and Rockets playstyle isn't typical and every game it seems like the other team adjusts in some way to make up for the previous game. I'm hoping the Rockets don't take it easy during game 7 and get blown out by the Lakers. Ay, wouldn't it be funny if the Rockets played the Magic in the finals? Looooooooooooooool upsets of the year. |

yeah, not many people are going for houston. i mean, i am going for them, but all along, i thought the lakers would have taken care of them by now. i am pleasantly surprised. and the thing about yao-i admit, i thought the series was over without yao because their record in the playoffs was not good without him playing. but without him in the lane, i think it makes it easier for guys to drive in for more attacks to the basket. also, i think it kind of pumps up the team when a star player is out, just to play that much harder. all the pressure is on the lakers now.
a lebron-kobe matchup would be great, and that was my prediction (like most people), but i'm always going to be going for my nugs. and boston just seems to love game 7s. all last playoffs and this year too. i think they have trouble winning on the road-a problem that i think the lakers have, too. but to be honest, were that many people questioning them winning it all last year? i definitely thought they would win, since allen, pierce, and kg were all healthy. |

^ that's fine. i don't mind the lakers being the underdog going into this series. if anything, the lakers should be the underdog the rest of the way after this series with houston.

Yeah the Lakers suck. They just got lucky for 65 of their games, definitely underdog material.

^
 lakers as the underdog? mm, i gotta disagree. i think the lakers thought that the trophy should have just been handed to them, so i am glad they're getting a bit of a scare from houston. and yes, denver is playing really well, but no one ever mentioned them... ever. i was getting so mad at sportscenter, because they would spend so much time talking about the cavs, lakers, celtics, but never mentioned denver. now that more people are talking about them, they're making it seem like denver is the most amazing team and hyping them up. there is no way that i will buy the lakers being the underdog in any series. |
