Ready to eat my crow. Did anyone see the post-game presser with Yao and Artest after Game 6? They're a regular comedy act.
The highlight was when a reporter asked Artest about taking a dive into the crowd after a loose ball and he said "Well, I've gone into the stands before..."
and after the laughter died down he said "one guy even offered me a beer. Yeah, he wasn't trying to throw it at me."
Back in the 80s, if you wanted to go anywhere important in the Western Conference, you had to beat the Lakers so I'm not intimidated by playing the Lakers but I think the loss of Motumbo makes them thin along the front line and they can't afford to get Yao in foul trouble.
Finally, LOL at McGrady. The Rockets advance when he's not in the lineup. I guess he was the problem the whole time.
