Flagrant Fouls Prove NBA Cares... About Image
ampsportsduo.blogspot.com 5/11/2009 — Ron Artest's foul on Pau Gasol was reduced from a Flagrant-2 foul to a Flagrant-1 after review by the NBA's VP of Basketball Operations Stu Jackson.

2:03 left in second period: Rockets 46 Lakers 31
blogofspo.blogspot.com 5/15/2009 — The Lakers have had chances to make a couple of big runs in the last few minutes, but they continue to miss wide open shots. Pau Gasol should be embarrassed with the way he has played defensively tonight. Lamar Odom is playing well for the Lakers, and I don't understand why Jordan Farmar isn't ...
Rockets Lead Wire to Wire, Blast Lakers 95-80
20secondtimeout.blogspot.com 5/15/2009 — Luis Scola, not Pau Gasol, looked like an All-NBA forward as the Houston Rockets defeated the L.A. Lakers 95-80, forcing a game seven and improbably putting the Western Conference's number one seed on the brink of elimination. Scola scored 24 points on 10-17 field goal shooting and had 12 ...
Lakers Dominate Rockets in Game Seven First Half
lakeshowlife.com 5/17/2009 — Couldn’t have asked for a better first half, Lakers fan. Rapid-fire thoughts…
Pau Gasol has been downright nasty. 11 points, 12 rebounds. Passive Pau has morphed into Kung Pau. At least for this game.
Trevor Ariza got this party started with his 13 points and aggressive play. I ...

A Loss Changes Everything For Lakers —
FanHouse
by Matt Steinmetz
There's no way the Houston Rockets can beat the Lakers in Game 7 today ... is there? It's head-scratching enough that Houston has pushed this series to the limit and won two games since Yao Ming got hurt back in Game 3. It seems almost too loony to think that the ...

Kobe and Pau serve a 40-piece; Orlando blows another one —
Dime Magazine
Phil Jackson isn’t a yell-and-scream type of coach. So in lieu of a remixed Al Pacino “Inches” speech or some outright Bob Knight-ish threats, whatever books Phil passed out to his Lakers leading up to last night’s Game 5 got the job done. Sparked by a 20-4 run in the ...
The Game 5 Topic Among the Laker Basketball Minds —
ESPN.com - TrueHoop
There's nothing you could say to convince me that the Laker coaches haven't been thinking about a Game 4 dynamic that David Thorpe describes : Houston's ball screens were spaced out to perfection. And the screeners took pride in hitting the Lakers guards, forcing Pau Gasol or Andrew Bynum to ...
