Ok, let's try this again.

Im a spurs fan and have alot of love for the mavs too. I have actually been very indifferent toward the rockets,even in the mid 90s when Jordan took a break.

But i really like watching this team play this series. Without Yao, Houston has no business holding fort against the Lakers. They are MUCH smaller, have a lot less depth, less athletic and less talented but they played tough, smart, and with a lot of heart.

Rick Adelman has done an amazing job this series, win or lose.
 
Much of this game was boring to watch. The refs just make so many calls in these games that the game play suffers. Hopefully they'll just let the 2 teams play in game 7.

This series has been pretty much decided thus far by who shoots well in each game. LA got off to a horrible start in this one and dug themselves a hole. The rockets continued to make key shots all game to keep LA at a distance.

Kobe did not look like the leader of his team out there tonight. Shane played much better defense to limit Kobe's drives and contest his outside shots. Scola plays that Euro/soccer version of basketball that I just can't stand.
 
I guess he means Scola uses good low post moves to score over bigger, more athletic players. And he also knocks down perimeter jump shots. Maybe that's Euro/soccer.
