Ah, that one ... that's a heartbreaker. Tough loss for Houston.

Hard to feel bad for Houston fans.  They've got the youngest team in the league with a 23 year old superstar scorer and they're already good enough to be competitive in a series with one of the best teams in the league.

The future is bright in Houston.

Houston is a really good team with great potential. They just REALLY REALLY need to clean it up. By far the sloppiest team in the league. I've never seen a team turn the ball over so carelessly. Like come on.

And let's not forget they have the cap space to add another significant piece this offseason.

What did Howard do to get ejected? I only see in the box score that he has two techs. I kind of sense that he just quit on the Lakers

The Lakers definitely do not have the 'heart' the Celtics do.  Today was a prime example.

The C's fought until the very last second for a victory, and a shred of pride.  The Lakers just laid down.

Injuries really hut them all season. And having Dwight as the team leader hurt them today even more

That's one reason, the other one is their starting guards are D-Leaguers, and that hurts.

But I won't shed a tear for the Lakers, injuries to our team allowed them to repeat in 2009-2010, so that's part of the game.

TMac is playing now and he's going past the first round for the first time ever.

The Lakers even with injuries just seemed to me to put up the white flag.
I don't know if Dwight is staying in LA after this season.

There was a year in Houston when they made the 2nd round, but he was hurt

Oh okay, I guess this must be his first time going where he actually can play.
That's all people were talking about when his name came up other than them sweeping the Lakers and Dwight getting trashed by the fan-base out here in LA.

To everyone who participated in last year's CB draft and voted my team out of the Playoffs because of Bogut. Well, how you like him now???
