I wish heinrich would of knocked Rondo out last nite. Rondo is a dirty ass punk. I hope someone whoops his ass tomorrow nite.
LA fans. I hope you team is looking past the Rockets just like you fools are. Kobe can have his 30 a game. We shut down the rest of the scrubs and the rockets have a chance.
If you think that fat, slow Bynum can guard Yao, you've got another thing coming. The lakers better front Yao. If they let Bynum guard him one on one, Yao will tear him a new asshole.
Rockets in 6.

rondo/heinrich - everyone's overreacting.
Rondo overreatcted and should have let it go
Heinrich overreacted only in that what do you think was going to happen when you back a player up like that. I've watched that replay like 30 times and it's obvious heinrich had has arm in Rondos chest and was basically pushing him backwards. You don't block out players by moving them backwards although it happens unintentiinally. But at some point you can't force a player off like that and that could have been called an off foul. I wouldn't think the refs would call it since it was away from the ball - no harm no foul. But you do shit like that and that's what happens. Rondo still should have let it go.
Rondo's not dirty. I don't count this incident, and the hit on Miller - shit any player could have done that in the same situation. It's the playoffs man.

^^part of me want to give it the Lakers in 6 games. Something about the old Adelman vs. Jackson coaching matchup that makes me say that.

must be to think rockets can beat the lakers in the playoffs, who are a totally different team than what they were in the season, when the rockets barely have anybody that can run with LA except for maybe artest
who can guard odom?
nobody, he is to long for battier, too fast for artest, and he has the advantage over either
gasol and scola - easily gasol
bynum and yao - all defense on yao, let him get the entry pass, but yao will have to constantly turn around and shoot over bynum, who will harass him like nothing, cuz yao is just an oversized asian girl who has some skill at basketball
look for mbenga to take a few minutes in when bynum gets into foul trouble
all in all, sweep, 5 at most if you guys have a lick of dignity to win on your home floor once.

Yeah I agree that its gonna be a somewhat easy series for the lakers.
It looks like its either a gasol or odom series where they shine more kobe.If gasol and odom struggle than it might go longer, but its the playoffs and anything can happen.
oh nobody can guard kobe, if they say that they can then hes gonna go crazy on you just like in game 4 against the jazz.Much respect to the rockets but its not your time yet.

Orlando is my team, has been since I was a kid. But I don't see them beating the Celtics. Dwight Howard is a beast, and he is theoretically unstoppable, but the problem is that he is only theoretically unstoppable. He needs to take advantage of that and be more agressive on the offensive end or he (or the Orlando Magic) won't ever reach their full potential.
By the way, Rashard Lewis is only worth about half of what we're paying him - he isn't a true go-to guy. And we lack defensive consistency. And Rajon Rondo is going to make us really miss Jameer Nelson in the backcourt. Boston in 6.

My hat goes to the Bulls. They gave us entertainment and more. Vinny has done a great job with that club even though they started horrible. I think it wouldve been another story if Deng wasn't injured.

wow... Hats off to the Bulls for showing up and making it a great series...
Celtics - Magic is going to be a great series, it see it going either way in 6 or 7 games but I will predict Celtics in 6...
I don't think they don't have anyone who can keep up with Rondo...
