Foul trouble tends to do that. You are severely underestimating the Rockets.

D Fish will probable end up not playing in game 3, but I will be pissed if they suspend Kobe over the elbow.

Artest is just a chump!

Farmar cannot guard anyone. Fish shouldn't be suspended for that. Shannon Brown should be the one getting more playing time.

D Fish getting 1 game.

Derek Fisher suspended for one game - Los Angeles Times

That's a joke.

If Rondo can get away with a face rake and a grecco roman throw of Kirk Hinrich into the scorers table, then Fisher should be able to get away with this.

And why shouldn't I? The Lakers are built to win. Especially with the Gasol trade last season. It's a bummer that Bynum got hurt.

This year, Bynum got hurt yet again, but he's back. He's just not being used properly.

If the Lakers can't go all the way with THIS team, I don't see them going all the way for quite a long time. =\ The last championship was 2002. That's way too long without a title with the team we have had (minus the 1 year of rebuilding).

I'm pretty confident too but clearly you don't know much about basketball. You flat out called the Rockets a bad team. Do you watch basketball or just the Lakers?

if the lakers win the championship, it certainly won't be a "cakewalk" rockets are tough, so are the Nuggets....then the Lebrons, who finally have the pieces around him to make them a very dangerous team.
