If the Lakers didn't shoot 11% from three in Game 1, the Lakers would be going for the sweep Sunday

the effort is always good, les. just need shots to fall and not turn the ball over so much. i'm fine with the loss tonight, i didn't think houston would win 3 home games this series, they will just need to get game 5 or 7 in LA, def not impossilble.

of course not, LA's home court advantage is not all that great...Houston knows they can win in LA, I knew they'd have to win 2 in LAL beofre the series started, this series isn't over yet.

oh come on, that's the easy thing to say, but if you saw the 1st 2 games, you know that Houston can win in LA. Houston won game 1 without playing their best game.

Alot still depends on Yao's knee....best hope for the Rockets is to win games 4 and 6 and get it to a anything can happen game 7

This was the worst game they have played this series by far. I was really disapointed with the intensity from The Rockets. I thought they would be pumped up after game 2 but I was wrong. To be honest the Rockets have not really wowed me in any of the 3 games, game 1 included. This series is not over at all. Rockets do have to win game 4 though obviously

Lakers fan here....it ain't over. Rockets scare me. They match up better than most any other team. But.....I still think lakers pull it out in 6.

some nights the shots just don't fall...some nights LAL shoots 20% points above their season average from 3. once both of those stats starting heading back more toward their season averages, you're gonna see a dogfight these few games.
