As much as I want to see the Rockets beat the Lakers and take the series, it's just not going to happen. I see the Lakers taking the next two games and winning the series 4-2. Tuesday nights game will probably be a blowout.

I think the Cavs would beat the Lakers in the Finals anyway.

/conspiracy theory
maybe they want to draw out the series to keep bringing in more revenue, selling out the stadiums and all

Me having faith or not having faith in whether the Rockets are going to win the series has nothing to do with whether they win or lose. I'm just looking at the reality of things. I hope they win it because I'm not a big fan of the Lakers and Phil Jackson. What happened on Sunday will give LA huge motivation for Tuesday night's game and Houston will probably get throttled by double digits. I'll definitely be pulling for the Rockets though!

dude, thats what im saying. watching the game and highlights the lakers didnt even attempt to even play any defense.. kinda like they blew it on purpose? so i dunno man.


i think it will be kobe vs. lebron show. but i think lakers will beat the cavs if they do play. cavs are a good team, but phil and kobe in the finals is tough to bet against.

The Celtics beat the Lakers last year. The Cavs are a better team than the Celtics, now.

yeah no doubt man. the celtics did outmuscle the lakers. curious what the outcome would have been with bynum in the lineup though. odom never showed up the entire finals. but not taking away anything from the celtics.. ****, with allen, pierce, and K.G. u better win.


hey rockets fans, just curious do u guys keep T-MAC or cut him? it seems like every year hes hurt or YAO is hurt. when T-MAC is on hes one of the best players.. just want to know what u guys would do?

Once McGrady gets healthy the Rockets need to trade him. They are a much better team without T-Mac. The guy misses too many games with minor "injuries", like a cold or a hangnail and he has no heart. He's gotta go! It will be interesting to see what Houston does in the offseason to improve this team.

I don't care much for T-Mac anymore, but next year is a "contract year" for him. I think that will motivate him to not miss games for wuss-boy reasons. If he is playing well and we are winning, I say just hold on to him and let him sign somewhere else next offseason.

I'd really like to re-sign Artest.

We need Artest back. I think he likes Houston and enjoys the hard work the team puts in. I saw him cruising in his Lambo on I10 after one of the Portland games




And Artest with a healthy McGrady would make the Rockets very hard to beat. Brooks, McGrady, Artest, Scola and Yao....awesome. Battier, Landry, Wafer, Lowry coming off the bench. Plus who knows what the super athletic White is capable of, and Dorsey is another big body to go along with Hayes.

I agree with you guys. I don't care much for McGrady anymore either. BUT Ron has to comeback. I love the aggressiveness he brings to the Rockets. I was kinda worried when he first got here. It made me think of Dennis Rodman and his antics, but I have been pleasantly surprised with Ron's attutide. I knew he could play, but the atttitude was a huge issue with me.

i remember when T-MAC was in orlando guy was a beast and easily top 10 players on the league. that just sucks that hes always hurt, or Yao is always hurt.

i definitely would keep him on my team, as long as he is healthy though.

Yeah. Artest was a good addition to the team. I think he's become more of a team player, too.

I don't understand how they can play so well one game then play so poorly the next.
