BEAT L.A

Rockets amazing star behind Scola...14 point and 7 rebound first quarter effort.

Although Jordan Farmer entered the game late in the quarter with immediate effect, hitting 2/2 from downtown to close the gap within 12 points.

It was looking really ugly for the Lakers before then...

Scola on track for a 56 point, 28 rebound monster. He he.

Can't believe the Spurs traded him.

Yes!! What an amazing performance! Scola was amazing, whilst Brooks, Landry and Artest all made valuable contributions. I think that was the difference in this game..Houston had many scorers, everyone got involved, and when you have 4 or 5 guys hitting shots, thats hard to stop!

Game 7 Now..Who, other than Quagmire, would have predicted this? Quagmire, If the Rockets beat LA, which I hope they do so, you are a legend or just got extremely lucky LOL. LA Boy, how come your not posting anymore..I think your Lakers are choking..?

Lamar who? Where has the nastiness of LA game gone? Where has the ferocious hostility with which they slaughtered countless regular season victims with?

I never thought Houston would win but i wanted them to so the Nuggets would have an easier WCF series, BUT judging by the way Houston is rolling atm im not so sure who i want to win now :S

Nuggets would kill Houston the way they are playing at the moment. True about Odom. Totally went missing today, as did Gasol and Bynum. Bynum looks like Ray Borner with a hernia out there. Offered nothing today and sat most of the game as a result.

Re: Denver - Billups will tear up Brooks (although he is crazy quick) and Denver's front line is so full of energy and playing so well, I can't see Landry/Scola staying with them over 7 games.

I'm warming to a Nuggets/Cavs finals. Melo V LeBron!

May I just point out that I didn't tell Quagmire that he was stupid? ;)

And to whoever was arguing that Bynum wouldn't be a non factor this series (and there were a couple in Quag's thread) - 28 points total, with 14 of those coming in the 40 point Laker win. Three scoreless games. Even if he's not completely healthy, he's been an absolute liablity out there.

Just finished watching the replay on one HD...

Can't beleive dudes are bagging Odom.

Pau Gasol and Kobe are the leaders of that 'team' and should be held accountable.

Bryant can drive and draw an extra defender ANY TIME HE WANTS. He just doesn't give the ball up....

Gasol should be averaging 30 this series and Kobe should be averaging double figure assists. Disgraceful play from both of those spoilt little brats.

Shane Battier is to D what Kobe is to scoring. I can't love one player more than Shane. He is every bit the defender Bowen was in his prime, minus the cheap shit.

I still say Artest is pure chaos on a court, the 3 he hit late in the game, i screamed NO just before it swished....

Can't get over how the identity of the Lakers right now is that of a spoilt brat...

Lakers should and will win game 7, because home court means home court calls and rolls, and coz houston need to score over 95 and without Wafer or Artest getting uber hot, they just can't do it.

Artest has also made my all time frustrating team along with Rasheed Wallace at center, Amare at PF, Kobe at SG and Arenas at PG.

well said quagmire.... I think if LA lose this it will be one of the biggest upsets of all time....

I think denver is thinking they are a real chance now....

'Artest has also made my all time frustrating team along with Rasheed Wallace at center, Amare at PF, Kobe at SG and Arenas at PG.'

Artest is a much more settled player in Houston, and think he is a pleasure to watch these days.

If you call dribbling the ball for 20 seconds then shooting a contested 20 footer settled, then i agree.

A - have to agree with Quagmire there. artest can win or lose you a game. He is an asset, but could be so much better if his shot selection wasn't so erratic.

Quag, maybe Larry Hughes as first sub in on that team of yours?

And dont forget to through Darius Miles a contract too
