This was a PHYSICAL game. My Rockets must have really pissed off the Lakers after the Game 1 win. Houston couldn't hit baskets for spells. We ended up losing 111-98. I know Game 2 is a very important game, but for the Rockets to play like this in a Game 2, they need to get infinitely better. Damn it, play like you have a chance to BEAT the Lakers. Not contend, not hang around, but BEAT. This s:censored: has better improve for the remaining games if you want to stand a chance to advance to the Western Conference Finals. It's a best-of-seven series, but playing like we did only infuriates me. And worse than that? Von Wafer basically talked bad about the coach and got himself an early shower. I love Von Wafer, but that was a low blow.
I do rail my teams at times, but that's only because I know teams can play much better than they do. This was NOT our best effort, and I sure as hell hope the Rockets can play a hell of a lot better than what lackluster effort they've put forth tonight. Play to win, damn you! Friday night's game better be MUCH improved, or we're out of the playoffs.
Why can't they just hold or extend the lead like what Boston and Cleveland do? Once those two team have build a large lead, they continue to demolish.
