Official Rockets @ Lakers, game 1, thread

[Alfordron]

What a bunch of whiners. I've never seen the likes of whining by Kobe and Fisher on every call against them..Craig Sager is an idiot also, trying to insinuate Yao's injury had something to do with the past injury and trying to speak for Houston fans in the post game interview..The TNT crew makes me sick, making excuses for the Lakers the entire game...Oh, they had too long a layoff...Oh, Kobe is sick...The cat died...I had a flat...Give me a break...They got outplayed and lost, simple as that!

If you dont think the long layoff had anything to do with this game then you need help. plain and simple. they misses so man easy shots they normally make. their passes were all a little off. everything was a little off.

as for the whining.. you didnt see a laker whining on the floor in serious pain to come back 2 mins later and be 100% fine now did you. I have a dvr and replayed many calls of the game. I felt like the refs missed alot of calls. ALot of them against LA and a few vs the Rockets.

All that being said, the rockets won but not because of how good they played but because how out or rythem and out of sync LA was. To me this was a case where the Rockets didnt win but more like the Lakers lost.

O well the rust is off and they will win the next 4 games. People get all caught up in 1 game, chill

Please keep the discussion civil. I am being lenient here for the moment, but any further name-calling cannot be tolerated per the forum rules. This isn't an unmoderated chat line.

Now, back to the game. I saw the final few minutes, and I was impressed with Houston's composure on maintaining the lead. I didn't expect them to win in L.A., but they really did well tonight. Perhaps this series will be closer than I and many others thought.
