OT: Lakes and Hou

[goflyakite]

Don't know if this is supposed to be on some other thread, but as much as we're gripping about our team with this series, look at what the Lakers are putting their fans through....ouch.

Nope its fine, I cant see any "recent" other playoff series threads.

When Yao went down, and after that demolition that LA gave the rockets I really did not expect to see a game 7 in this series, missing their two super stars - thats pretty impressive.

Did anyone watch the game last night?

I thought JVG was gonna have a heartattack when Kobe got that tech
I swear he must sit on his front porch in the summers & scream at kids that walk by his lawn

Aaron Brooks is a stud.

I can't see LA losing at home though.

My wife about Scola last night...

... "Where is that guy from, the ugly caveman looking one??? He's UGLY!"

Houston right now should be the Anti 2 SF crowd's poster child. What they have done with that team is add grit and toughness at almost every position and look at how well it serves them. They are taking a far more talented though finesse team to seven games. Impressive. It would not take to much to change our identity to something similar, though we are even better suited for such a build thanks to having the #1 player of the Grit and Toughness crowd in Dwight Howard already aboard.

Love that both games are going to game 7, very exciting round thus far. I love the Nuggets out West either way, so bring on whoever.

I was shocked to see the Rockets go up 17 - 1 in the first quarter. I am hoping for a rematch of '95 with Orlando vs. Houston in the Finals. Very unlikely it will happen but would be nice to see.

Especially since we'd win.

The Rockets, if they manage to squeak by the Lakers aren't beating Denver or whomever represents the East in a full 7 game series.
