re: If L.A. wins...

The Laker hater speaks yet again against the Lakers...what a shock.

So you are measuring the softness of the Lakers big man on the play of Houston guards? You are so fricking stupid (as we all have come to know though). Artest took a lot of jumpers in that series, but I guess Bynum, Gasol and Odom should have been able to reject those 17 foot jumpers from the paint. I guess every team that played Jordan in the finals was soft too. You are judging big men by the play of guards. Soft players buckle under pressure tough players find a way to previal. The fact that you can't comprehend the moment Yao went down the Lakers had to adjust to a completely different style of team that is a better match up against the Lakers, proves you do not know shite about basketball. There is a reason the Rockets had winning record against the Lakers when Yao did not play prior to this series. You just want to keep hating the Lakers though and not give them credit for making adjustments against a team who had the right guys to win that series. Yes, Houston took away that soft title, they had the matchup to win the series and did not pull it off.
