I agree. I think whoever wins this series does it in 6, and that's for either team.

wow, just an amazing win by Rockets in Game 1 with LA. Yao, Arteste, Brooks, great games and the whole team did really well. that was exciting to watch.

Yao's return from injury was simply legendary.

It's nice to know he simply knocked knees, but that was a looooooong commercial break before we knew anything other than Yao in pain laying on the floor.

Not a Willis Reed moment, but he showed me some stones last night. Jeff Van Gundy always talks about how Yao cares, and how bad he wants to win, and I see it more and more. This team showed grit all year, the battle with injuries, and last night taking back the lead in the 4th quarter.

Kobe, besides being an adulterer, is a punk/loser after rubbing his junk on the head of Battier. I have zero respect for crap like that.

Congrats to the Rockets on their big road win. That was a gutty performance. Our ace in the hole may be Adelman's experience going against Phil Jackson and the Lakers so often while coaching in the Pacific Division all those years. He knows what the Lakers will do probably better than anyone. From there, it's a matter of getting his players to recognize and execute.

Artest also seems to be the x-factor we didn't have in past seasons.

Kobe, now added to my Malone, and Stockton hated punk list. And LA floppers, deserve to loose. poor coaching control by whats his name in LA.

Poor coaching control for LA??? What do you call it when adelman gets yelled at by a scrub like Von Wafer on the sideline in the middle of a playoff game.

Houston just lacks the offense to win this series. Too much dribbling around in the 4th quarter tonight. And it was done for sure after Artest was unlucky enough to have his "I got hit in the throat" motion look like an "I'm gonna kill you" motion.

Houston plays very hard but is outgunned here. I'll take money it doesn't go past 6. The only drama left is who the first Rocket to beat up Sasha Vuajic will be.
