Well, the Lakers are on their way to the NBA Finals to face Cleveland and give us a legendary match-up, oh wait a second…Seems the Houston Rockets, sans Yao Ming, weren’t quite ready to give up the ghost on this series. At least for one game, they showed the Lakers that they were able [...]

The Rockets Have The Heart That The Lakers Are Missing
If you didn’t enjoy the Houston Rockets - Los Angeles Lakers game on
Sunday, than you’re clearly not a fan of good basketball. The Rockets,
a team already without Tracy McGrady that had just lost their best
player in Yao Ming for the playoffs, dominated a heavy favorite Lakers’
team in game four.
The Rockets not only showed no fear against the Lakers...

Yao Ming Out for the Season - Fantasy Analysis

Here’s a hypothetical I was chewing on even before the news broke that Yao Ming will miss the rest of the playoffs with a broken foot: how badly are the Houston Rockets missing Tracy McGrady in their second round series against the Lakers?
Many people have argued the opposite, saying that it’s only because McGrady is [...]

NBA: There Are No Lakes In LA, Just Cocaine. The Houston Rockets–without Yao Ming–ran the Lakers up and down the floor in their Game 4 yesterday, trouncing the Western Conference favorites, 99-87. It was Houston’s Aaron Brooks (pictured) who led all scorers with 34 points. Kobe was held to 15 points on 7-of-17 shooting. [...]

Lakers Lack Of Toughness Will Cost Them The NBA Crown
The team that looked like a lock to come out of the Western Conference for the second consecutive year has not had smooth sailing in their second round series. On paper the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets should be a blowout; especially after Houston lost their go-to player center Yao Ming for the season after suffering a stress fracture to his left foot.
Battier, Rockets Dominate Lakers!
We admit it - we figured the Rockets were dead without Yao Ming. Better recall the funeral notices.
The Rockets just ripped the Lakers up one side and down the other, leading at one point by 29. They held Kobe Bryant to 7-17 and 15 points overall.

The Rockets, however, have proven to step up with new troops each and every time, with each soldier bringing his own unique...
Weak Effort Video: Rockets Stun Lakers in Game 4
The Rockets didn’t need Yao Ming to beat up on the Lakers in Game 4 - they just needed Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier to go crazy from behind the arc. The Lakers’ first-half effort can best be described as piss-poor. Kobe Bryant only managed 15 for the game, on an uncharacteristically small number of [...]

Tonight in Houston, we saw why the world thought the Lakers were a lock for the Finals, as they simply brought a higher level of game than the Rockets could match. The game was intense but not chippy, well-officiated, and everything you could hope for, except drama. The single biggest difference was that while the Lake Show went 8 of 35 from the arc in the first two games, they were...
