It was a terrible call peeps -- it displays our bias, not theirs, to be upset at someone calling it for what it was.
Actually I am not sure what the foul was they called on Artest either, but that T was just flat out acting. Not sure whether it was worth it either, since Ron ceded the moral high ground with that and went from victim to victimizer. But if they win by 1 it certainly will have been.

What happened to Bynum? I haven't been watching many of the games, but his playoff stats are terrible. Wasn't he supposed to be a franchise center or something?
Anyways...if the Lakers get pushed to a game 7 against a Rockets team that's missing T-Mac and Yao, I don't think that bodes very well for them.

A standing ovation to Coach Rick Adelman. He's done the impossible so many times people tend to overlook just what he's done for this Rockets team - with two future HOFers sitting in street clothes on the bench.
The Lakers had best come out guns a-blazing back at Staples for game 7. If they don't pay attention, or act as though they don't have to do much because they've got home court advantage, they could easily be the ones sitting at home while the Rockets face off against the Nuggets.
Damn...
I love this game.

Future HOF - IMHO, of course - Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. Granted I don't particularly like McGrady but I suspect he'll make it to the hall eventually. Yao is pretty much a lock, against IMO.
If you prefer, I could easily take away the "future HOFer" phrase since that wasn't actually the point I wanted to make. The Rockets suffered a significant loss when Yao broke his foot. While I actually think the Rockets are better matched against this current Laker team without him - especially with the fantastic Andrew Bynum back in purple and gold - I think it's a tribute to Houston and to their belief in Adelman that they're still out there playing.
It's about heart - and desire - and heart - and determination - and heart. You know, the things the Lakers don't seem to possess.
