you wonder... It really is absolutely awful. I give the Celtics credit for putting forth good effort without their best player. Houston game should be interesting. Yao was really outstanding last game. Battier and Artest together guarding Bryant is probably the best duo he could face. If Houston shoots well, they can be very tough. Their Defense really plays well if they score and Yao has a chance to get back. If the Lakers get running, Yao's effectiveness decreases exponentially. my analysis, for whatever its worth.

and got teed up. (this led to the incident that sealed his first dismissal) No joking with Crawford. Kobe got in a nice cheap shot on a cheap shot artist... Artest. A little higher and give the Rockets game #3.

Took him long enough. He and McGrady are two of the most brittle athletes ever. You just come to expect them to get hurt at some point.

Yao is just too big.
Its sad because he really is a very good player. Wonderful hands, great touch. Humans were not made to be that big. If it aint the foot, its the back, knees, something.

I feel bad for the Mavs. Wright clearly fouled Anthony but because the ref didn't feel like calling it, the Nuggets lead 3-0 instead of 2-1. Give credit to Anthony for playing through it and of course, he still had to make the shot. And Dallas didn't execute on their final possession when Dirk missed that shot and they also didn't stop the Nuggets from scoring on the previous two possessions before Anthony's game winner. But damn, what a horrible way to have a game decided. All the times when calls probably shouldn't be made, they make them. When a foul is clearly committed, especially in a situation where they should know it's coming, they don't call it.

Bad calls are going to happen.
The NBA admitted they were wrong. But the players are told constantly to play through till the whistle, constantly. And no need to commit the foul with the chest and body. Grab him dammit. Bad job of fouling, bad job of playing through, bad call. Tough luck for the adolescent Mark Cuban.

Me hating Dirk has nothing to do with the non-call today and everything to do with him being a notoriously terrible, terrible player when games are on the line. He's the anti-Kobe. He took a completely ill-advised 3 pointer with 18 on the shot clock just inside the 1:00 mark then missed what would have been a clinching jumper in the final 10 seconds. It happens all the time in big games. He has a mountain of talent but no balls when the game is hanging in the balance. NT

Hang on, dont let him get close to shooting. Another side plot. I think Kobe did a wonderful job of pushing Artest to his mental limits. I am assuming it was on purpose. Kobe had baited him verbally and then with the elbow, Artest was done mentally. Everyone was so suprised how Artest was maintaining composure and Kobe tweeked that gangsta attitude.

All kidding aside, even a die hard Rockets fan like myself never expected that today. I'm sure we're still odds on to lose in LA and be ditched in six games, but this was a nice way to respond to adversity. There's certainly no quit in the Rockets and if that can be combined at some point with health and starpower something great can happen. FYI, someone posted this on this board in June 2007 (it wasn't me): "The steal of the draft will be whoever drafts Aaron Brooks from Oregon. Guy was made to play in the NBA. " NT

If the Lakers had a point guard...
Kobe got a lot of rest in the regular season. Now he has to dribble the ball more, games are tougher. As much as he likes Fisher he has got to ask for a point guard next year for offense and defense. They need a PG that can play over 30 minutes effectively.
