Rockets win this series in 5 with a healthy T Mac and Yao



i don't know about all that, on paper it may look so, but chemistry and momentum have a lot to do with the rockets success right now...

No way they are better. T Mac averages 29 points per game in the post season and Yao is Yao. They are much better with those two healthy than without them

This game alone shows that Kobe is not 1/10th the player Jordan is. Kobe proved today again that he is not a true leader out there.

Jordan would've demanded back in the game in the fourth, and as much of a hog as Jordan could be, he'd always get his points by working the triangle offense. Kobe abandons it at the first sign of trouble.

It's already hilarious the Fakers have let this series go 7. LA probably wins game 7 but they are soft as frick and no way win a championship this year. I thought they were the best team in the league hands down before this series and they proved me dead wrong.


you are pathetic. all series you have been covering both sides of the spectrum. you always have to put a little disclaimer in there about "the lakers will probably win"

when the hornets are losing, i dont start talking about how it was a joke that they challenged someone. do you realize that the everyone on the rockets is in the nba? why should the lakers be better, bc the media says so? because they have some offense, but no defense?

Until Bynum can turn on that knee this team is going to struggle. Bynum was getting 18-22 points before his injury. We are lucky if he gives ten now. He has no mobility that is why he keeps squaring up instead of going to the hole. Fisher should not start in this series. I expect a much more aggressive team game seven. Officiating did not lose this one but the refs sucked on every aspect of the game for both teams. Stern in attendance needs to do something about this crap.

Some great heart for this ROckets team.

Even if they lose game 7 which is likely

I just don't understand why they continue to play soft

At some point you just have to say ENOUGH OF THIS frickING shite

And get after it

Rebel It's the Paul Gasol effect

Houston shoots the 3 like crazy at home

They really feed off the crowd

The first 7 minutes of the third it took the Rockets fans a while to get back to their seats. Once they did and Houston hit a couple of 3's

It was over. The fans really make the difference for this Rocket team

The Lakers can't stop Aaron Brooks how would they stop Tracy McGrady? Not to mention Yao was owning Pau/Bynum and you still have to guard Luis/Aaron/Ron.

Aaron Brooks
Tracy McGrady
Shane Battier
Luis Scola
Yao Ming

is a better starting 5 than what the Lakers are putting out this series

Dude...The lakers swept them in the season when they had those guys...The rockets play with more heart when they are undermanned for some reason

Not defy the coach. Jordan pushed to get back in the game. Kobe just sat there. Jordan would never let that happen and Jackson knew that. While Kobe was scoring in the 3rd quarter, he was getting away from the offense towards the end, and it showed. Phil sat him.

TT,

i've been polite, but dude, this isn't a logical argument. that's not the case, so to argue this is a waste of time, because we really don't know what the outcome would be with a healthy yao and t-mac.
