I don't think it's about winning the series anymore, it's going to be about beatin the out of the lakers physically
Games 3 and 4 are going to be amazing, I just don't know if the Rockets have enough firepower to beat the Lakers in both home games.
Yao Ming has to get 30 points in each game, minimum.

Even better.
Should the Lakers get past the Rockets, I think the Nuggets will be tougher than they expect as well.
Yao Ming has to score 20+ ppg on a good percentage for the Rockettes to win.
They simply can't rely on Ron Ron and co. to shoot as hot as they have been because even that isn't enough to get a win. Ron will come back down to earth and stop hitting those bull fading 3's with the shot clock winding down and the rest of the team will begin to get a little cold from outside.
It's the law of averages. HOU simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up with LAL.
And I'm loving Shane Battier the Kobe Stopper holding him to 36ppg on 52% shooting.
It's all about match ups.
Lakers are the number 1 seed but it drew them two of the three teams that gave them trouble (the sweep of the rockets not withstanding...three of them were really close games).
I really wished landing in the two seed (drawing Dallas and Denver) would have been an easier path for the Lakers.
What gives the Lakers trouble are big centers and small, speedy Point Guards.
Denver has neither.
I predicted before that the rockets would give the Lakers more trouble than Denver would.
All La has to do is front Yao like Portland did & run a lot.
Chauncey knows all about killing the pussy ass Lakers. And unlike the Rockets. SOME OF THE DENVER NUGGETS PLAY DIRTY TOO. Coach Karl knows all about thug ball... And they're not pretenders either (with the exception of Carmelo) like the pampered, limp-wristed, Hollywood prisses that is the LA Lakers.
Neither team will have a bright future, I suggest Laker fans and Rockets fans quit the bandwagons of these two teams and become a member of our troop. The future of this league belongs to young teams like Thunders.
Plus, the Nuggets are peaking right now and playing impressive defense. The only thing is, I don't know if I like how they'll matchup with Gasol/Bynum. Nene can be very physical in the post, though.
And what sport do the "Thunders" play? And if it's the NBA, do they have more wins in the last two years than any playoff team from the West has wins from this year alone?

Do they really have only 9 more wins over the last 3 years compared to the West's top seed from this year?
Oh tell me about it, I can't wait.![]()
It'll be six game alright. Rockets take next two on their home court and lose on the Lakers court and win on their home court again. Buh bye.
lakers will take both in houston and close out in 5.
God damn I hate the ing Lakers... come on Rockets... win this !
get real
NO CHANCE houston wins both on their homecourt...Lakers may get both in houston.
