On a day that Lebron James wins MVP, the Orlando Magic defeat the Boston Celtics in game 1 (barely), the swine flu zips through L.A. county - the Los Angeles Lakers fall short against the Houston Rockets 92-100.
It was a horrible game from the start. I know Kobe's sick, but his field goal percentage wasn't, neither were his shot selections, wow. Way to show Lebron, Mamba. The Lakers were 2-18 from beyond the arch, shot an ugly 44% from the field, and it didn't help much that Ron Artest and that kid Aaron Brooks were just having there way with us. There is no way that Brooks should be getting lay-ups like that, there's no excuse. I respect Yao Ming's game, and I honestly believe that he is the best Center in the NBA right now (Dwight Howard can't shoot the ball and has only one post move), but he has been stopped on several occasions. Especially by the Lakers.
Look for Kobe to suck it up and come out big on Wednesday for game two. The Lakers will look a little crisper and have their stroke going because the shots taken in game one were just DISGUSTING. Hopefully the refs are actually paying attention to this game. A guys half of his face is bleeding and you didn't call a foul. Now you want to give them all the calls in the world? Come on fellas. And Lakers, play some defense! Lakers should win big at home and knot this one at 1-1.
