I've never seen a team with less heart and killer instinct than these Lakers. I knew that Houston would take it to them and be physical but I didn't think the Lakers would fold like they have. No way in hell they should be doing what they've done in these last two wins. None. Not without Ming. Adelman is coaching his ass off once again and Jackson is showing that once again, when he has to actually coach a team, he can't. Most overrated coach in history in my opinion. Breen just said something interesting. The Lakers all season long had never lost a game where the opponent led start to finish and now they've done it twice in three games. What a wildly inconsistent team they are. Battier played the best defense on Bryant that I've seen in a long time. He was in his face on every shot. Great win for Houston. I wasn't a Rockets fan but I am now. I love a team that plays with the heart they have shown. Win or lose, they have earned my respect.
