Despite all the craziness of Game 2, we still have to realize we had the best possible outcome in LA. We stole home court, and we have now turned this into a physical series. Remember how well the Lakers handled physicality in last years finals?

Also, I vaguely remember a star player putting up only 2 points in the second half against the Suns and dissappearing on his team in the 06 playoffs. Oh, that’s right, it was Kobe Bryant. We forget sometimes how little heart he has when things don’t go his way. Maybe it’s because the national media won’t ever take his cock out of their mouths long enough to give a proper anaylsis of his play. So, I figure if we hold serve and get the series to a 3-1 lead, Kobe may just hand us game 5 or 6 on a silver platter to get even with Phil. What a competitor! Go ROCKETS!

But there were at least 10 points out there that they were just handed. The goal tending on Landry, Kobe looses ball on jump shot and chases it down, Kobe puts a pass off the backboard and goes and gets it, (cute trick in the All-star game, but that’s a travel unless it hits the rim) a few others. Not that I’m complaining about we should have gotten more calls, but at least get the easy calls right. Any time you lose a game you can go back and say we lost the game because of too many TO’s, but it is an equal arguement to say that the refs cost us points as well. I don’t think we had any obvious points scored off of obvious missed calls tonight. Every game Joey calls, not just the Rockets, his crew misses the obvious.
 Yao got some weak calls early , for how physical they let everyone else play and Gasol had 1 foul in 3 quarters. Yao just does not play well if he gets in early foul trouble. I knew we were in trouble tonight and our guards could not figure out that the Lakers were playing a zone. They can’t take the ball inside on that zone, the second quarter we did a good job of passing the ball and getting open shots. The second half the guards just tried to force their way inside and that is where the TO’s occured.
It’ll be fun Friday!!!

Ron Artest still has a questionable past even if he has stayed “good” for a long while now. They can justify suspending Ron for less than most other players in the league. However, I think the league would do best to just levy a bunch of hefty fines. I’m not much one for suspending people in the playoffs unless behaivour is truly egregious.

Also, could suspending Fisher actually help the Lakers? I mean he can’t stay in front of Brooks, but Farmour seemed like he could a little more tonight.

the special treatment boston and LA have been getting is absolutely disgusting, I have enough of this ****
