You guys destroyed us. Wow. Congrats on the victory. You completely deserved it and outplayed us for 48 minutes of basketball.

sometimes driving that car to the stadium instead of the bus makes a difference , but still good to see him (alston) become a factor...instead of a "stat gone bad"

A gentlemen & a scholar...respect to the Lakers, but was that worst than memphis? I watched that game & Memphis was a different team that night....Very disappointed in Evans game tonight, I don't think he produced a single pt.

I think that WAS worse than Memphis...at least we tried in the 4th quarter last night. I'm very disappointed in the entire team. Kobe tried to do too much, and he just wasn't hitting his shots. Then again, nobody was hitting a shot. Jeff Van Gundy has the Rockets playing some of the best defense in the league right now, and it's clearly paying off. I thought with Yao Ming out, we could get to the paint and maybe get some fouls or something. But we settled for outside jumpers way too much (like we seemingly normally do) and many of our misses turned into Rockets points.
I can't believe it was a one-point game at the half. That was a pathetic effort by the Lakers, and that might be an understatement. We hold T-Mac to 8 points, but Deke, Howard, Battier, and Alston absolutely ripped our hearts out.
Again, congrats on the victory. We've still taken 2/3 from you guys.
