It's going to be very hard for them to play like this because alot of the calls they're getting in Houston won't be called at the Staples Center.

I guess we will need to dismantled this team if we lose to the rockets.

Dude the refs are bad, but it's not the main reason we lost. We lost because our front court didn't show up. I've seen similar effort during the regular season where Pau Gasol and Bynum got destroyed by Troy Murphy and Jeff Foster. Those two play with no passion and intensity, its so frustrating to watch.

If stern wanted us to go to the finals then we would have beaten them tonight.

no way. It might actually be 5 on 5 rather than 8 on 5 like it was tonight

Why can't America realize that falling in love with Kobe doesn't mean breaking up with Michael

If hou plays like this on Sun and the Lakers play like they did tonight then the Lakers lose. The refs were bad but not bad enough for the Rockets to jump out to the type of lead they had. Lakers showed no heart or passion and did not look like they wanted to play until the 3 q started. Once the got close and faced some adversity they closed up shop. At least Boston last year played hard every game. The Lakers can not say the same.

Lakers will dismantle the Rockets on Sunday.

Hey, it can happen. Kobe is not the same Kobe of a few years ago, too often he struggles shooting in a big game. LO is not 100%, our perimeter shooting sucks. Ariza is inconsistent, Fisher is stinking it up all post season, Sasha is trash, Luke is trash, Brown is not proven. Anything can happen in a game 7, a cold shooting night, and all the work you put in for the past 8 months goes down the toilet.

No no the bigger problem is what if LAKERS play like this on Sunday.

And the answer is we probably lose. Sure as hell won't get much farther than Sunday if we keep this mentality up.
