Clearly the better team was the Lakers right? But I guess the Rockets used the "hack-a-dwight" or what the hell it is called. Why the hell doesn't just Hill play instead if him in late moment games. Jordan Hill played 14 minutes, scored 9, grabbed 9 rebounds and had 3 blocks. The Rockets didn't shoot so good but still better FT's than the Lakers. This is what is deciding the Laker games. The freakin FT's....
LAL - HOU was won by two FT's

I'd have to say defense was the difference also. The Rockets shot 20 more times than the Lakers... it sounds like they played better defense to acquire those 20 more shots because I doubt they out-rebounded than the Lakers. ( I didn't watch the game, so I'm not sure just assuming)
Not to mention the Lakers looked like they played shih defense because it's one thing for the Lakers to take 30+ FT because of hack a dwight but why the hell did the Rockets get 30+ FTs?? Seems like bad defense on the Lakers part.

Yeah, the Rockets got a ton of offensive rebounds and the Lakers gave up a ton of points in the fourth quarter..again. Dwight's freethrows didnt help either.

Interesting that Houston shot nearly 20 more field goals... That either means the Rockets killed it on the offensive glass or the Lakers turned it over a tonne, maybe be a bit of both?
EDIT:
Beat me to it. Exactly.

Alot of both. We had like 19 turnovers and gave up so many offensive rebounds.

I remember when we drafted Toney Douglas and we traded him. I knew one day he was going to come and light out asses up.

This isn't an excuse. This is just fact. We are losing because of poor defense, free throws and some how in the last quarter always giving up between 30-40 points that just is unacceptable.

Honestly, there is no excuse for a guy in the NBA that can't hit at least 60% FTs. I mean, it's a free point. Nobody is guarding you, you should be able to make more than half if you are a professional basketball player.

Watching Dwight at the free throw line is like watching someone feed a boulder to a catapult, then launch at will. Somebody needs to teach the man to shoot, (going through the motions) repetitions during practice ain't cutting it.
