Yeah I know I pointed out those match up threats in the other thread when mentioned, but I didn't want to outright gloat in here about it being over when technically it isn't.
Lakers still have a job to do and that's win 2 more games, 1 in Houston at the very least. Plus it's bad enough for Rockets fans without having one of us Laker fans rubbing salt in the wounds...

looking at the highlights, lowry played a good game also and bynum had a quiet one...
Bynum, has yet to show up at all in this series. I think he has more fouls then rebounds,
There is your answer to your Front court question Jimbo,
smallball, with stocky front court players, That are terrific defenders.
That's why the rockets are still in this series, because Defence wins championships!!! Name a team that won in the last 15 years that didn't.
This is the reason the media label LA soft all the time, (which is strange when you have a great defender like Kobe on your team and the team isn't that strong at D).
If the rockets keep up the D, and stay loose we could win another game in LA, if the pressure is on...(well I'm allowed to dream)
Glad this series is at least going 6 games as it deserved nothing less.
Had a look at the Gasol/Artest , not that much in it, as the was a lot of momentum from a 7fter and a bump from battier down low and then Artest with a pretty standard foul from above (a lot of ball too). Don't think it warranted an ejection, but a FF1 is a correct call in my option. Glad they got the right call and he was able to play game 4.
On a side note-
Man how dirty must the Mavs be on the Refs right now!!! ouch!!!

Defence was the key and the Rockets had no shortage of it. Battier did a good job on Kobe.
man, massive suprise that the rockets won this game, and won easily!!
their second tier players seemed to play well... brooks, battier, scola
meanwhile artest stunk the joint up
i reckon the rockets would be happy if they continued to win this way... a win is a win at the end of the day... well done rockets

Not to mention Kobe was out played by Battier in all departments!!!
Odoms back is now listed as day to day, interesting if he plays tommorrow.
Gasol- really has to step up and harden up, he should be dominating but is playing very soft. Only padded his stats in junk time other wise it could have been obvious how no existent he was.

Laker fans should just take the Collingwood route...
"Are we REALLY THAT bad? No the Saints are really that good"
Thing is its actually more applicable here as the Pies really do suck.
Magic really came out and ripped the Lakers organisation yesterday whilst Jackson laughed it off and wasn't worried.
