Yeah, same here. I do think it will be a close game. With mobley, francis and Yao, Rockets will give Lakers a good fight to the end. Just hope Lakers can pull it off.:)

Wow, Yao was doing pretty well the first couple minutes. I'm more than impressed with how he's handling Shaq offensively, and even more impressed with Yao defensive strategy against Shaq. Still, after two quarters, Shaq is pretty much where you'd expect him to be.

Having just watched the first 2 minutes of the 1st quarter over again, Shaq most definitely wasn't blocked 5 times, more like twice. The first one or second "block" (can't remember which) was a clean one by Yao against Shaq. However, Shaq was just way too over hyped those first two minutes, and blocked himself by going up and getting blocked by the rim, just before Yao tipped it to someone else (which was counted as a "block" for some reason"). On the next play Shaq did the exact same thing, expect the backboard blocked him this time lol. The other block was by one of the other Rockets, who clearly swatted it away from Shaq as he was going up.

I haven't seen Shaq so hyped at any point in a game like he was those first two minutes tonight since his Orlando days.....

Man, nice block by Yao. Shaq's pissed! But Yao needs to stay focused and get some energy back, he hasn't scored since the first 3 minutes of the 1st quarter.

Not only is he ghey but Shaq getting packed 5-6 times isn't what I'd call dominating
