Who is to blame for the loss to the Lakers? You may not like the answer.
The Lakers were an overwhelming favorite heading into Wednesday's game.  The Rockets , however, surprised and confused the defending champs by playing aggressively and not backing down to anything.  Not even with significant height disadvantages at every position.  Yet in the ...

Jerome Solomon has a column posted on the Chronicle's website, accusing Ariza of seeming "out of place" as a leader. OK, maybe not the face-making, but Adelman wanted some attitude. Ariza kind of brought it, but kind of didn't. He is just not that guy. Never will be. Ariza just doesn't ...

Lakers Win, Rockets Lose, We All Learn A Little Something
Here we have a game where Kobe was allowed to get to the line freely. A game where the slightest contact by a Rocket in the 4th was cause for a foul. A game that was nevertheless a field goal away from a win. Now, it should be noted that, unlike a lot of fans, I will freely admit that I ...

And here comes a big test for the Rockets. Home game against the defending NBA Champions. Rematch of the second round. This time the worst part of that Rockets series, Artest (who I still have a special place in my heart for) plays for the bad guys.
