End first period: Rockets 27 Lakers 15
blogofspo.blogspot.com 5/15/2009 — Jordan Farmar is trying to keep the Lakers in the game, he is the only positive. Luis Scola already has 14 and 7, they need him to keep playing like this.

blogofspo.blogspot.com 5/15/2009 — Perfect start for the Rockets. They look better then they did in game 4. Lakers don't look ready to play. I can't believe how bad the Lakers look.
Rockets Force Game 7, Soar Past Lakers 95-80
slamdunkcentral.com 5/15/2009 —
I had thought that prior to Thursday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets, the Rockets had pretty much given up on themselves as the Lakers had annihilated them by 40 points on Tuesday. But that just illustrates that in the NBA, anything can happen on any ...

talkhoops.net 5/17/2009 — Los Angeles Lakers 89, Houston Rockets 70 This was to be expected, right? The Los Angeles Lakers finally took a game seriously for just the second time in their last four games against the Rockets and put away a scrappy but completely under-talented (due to injury) Houston team. It was a ...
Get your popcorn ready: Lakers postgame video —
Lakers Blog
YouTube called it "routine maintenance." We called it "a crimp in our plans to post video after LA's 89-70 win over the Rockets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, and quite possibly an anti-Lakers conspiracy generally." Well, they're done maintaining, and thus we have video. Don't ...

The Dream Shake
Channel 39 was kind enough to swing by my house today to do a quick interview and profile about this here blog and get some thoughts on the Rockets/Lakers series and what to expect in Game 7. Goodbye, anonymity!

Rockets 95, Lakers 80: Utter frustration —
Lakers Blog
Hyde, then Jekyll, then Hyde again. Apparently, the Lakers don't give a hoot about themes established through video game montages and tales of my athletic past. For that matter, they're apparently indifferent towards helping BK and I look like Nostradami on the ol' podkast. Although maybe it's ...

You Leave Us No Choice, Mr. Brooks —
JoeSportsFan.com
We’re a day late, but, if an NBA player wears a red tuxedo to a post game press conference, the JoeSportsFan.com bylaws require us to make a smart ass remark about it. Such was the case when Houston Rockets guard Aaron Brooks, fresh off a monstrous performance against the Lakers, stepped ...
Video: Ron Artest Ejected Again In Game 3. Why? —
The Critical Fanatic
Ron Artest may be wrong with the ‘racial profiling’ comment , but he’s definitely being treated unfairly in this Lakers-Rockets series.
Artest’s game 2 ejection was completely unnecessary. Jawing and trash talking has been a part of the NBA Playoffs as long as ...
Game 2: Elbows and ejections and suspensions, OH MY! —
Lakers Library
Some of the same intensity I predicted in my trailer for the series (which you can see below) has come to fruition. In fact, making the video, I knew this would turn into a very physical series. Two franchises with everything at stake. Two franchises with two premier competitors in Artest and ...
