Rockets were very fortunate to win that one. We need to cut out those bad turnovers, especially one like rafer getting trapped in the corner and throwing the ball away. Thank god for battier's miracle 3...

Same here. I thought it was going to be a cool video, or at least a discussion of futuristic military technology.

Nope, just boring sports.

Typical though, Laker fans should be used to it. Kobe will have a great stat sheet, but that team is going nowhere. Kobe is a great individual player but he's not a leader and he doesn't make the other players on the team better.

oh comeon, you can't blame Kobe because his whole team sux, you think Kevin Garnett is terrible because he has never made the playoffs, Steve Nash never made a championship game, let alone won one and he has waay more talent around him. Its silly to think one man can somehow make everyone better. Even the guy who everyone thinks that about (Steve Nash) playing with 2 other All-Stars can't even make it to the championship game. How do you expect Kobe to make it there with nobody else even close to all star status on his team?

No, I'm not blaming him for the Lakers losing, heck without him that group of dregs would win 15 games. I'm just saying he's the "A-Rod" of basketball. You know he can put up the numbers every year, but he just doesn't seem to have "it" to be a leader.

:roll: he scored 18 pts in the 4th and helped the lakers come back from a 14 pt deficit. he distributed the ball around, played good defense and scored with the clock stopped. there is only so far you can take a mediocre team...especially against a dominant rockets team.
