It was a tough one to watch. The Lakers were punched, kicked, and pounded every which way with blood literally falling onto the hardwood. Call it rust, call it a wake-up call, call it Houston's tenacity, whatever you call it, this loss is inexcusable. The main problem has become the perimeter. The Lakers shot a combined 2-for-18 from behind the arc, just after they finished the Utah series shooting .446% from downtown in five games! The Rockets have the advantage in the frontcourt with Yao Ming, leaving the outside even more important. Derek Fisher showed his age when trying to keep up with Aaron Brooks. The pressure falls on Sasha Vujacic, Shannon Brown, and Jordan Farmar to hit their shots. Without any backcourt offense, the Lakers will struggle to contain Houston.
