The Rockets claim that all the pressure heading into Sunday's Game 7 is on the favored Lakers.

"The pressure really is getting here," Rockets coach Rick Adelman told the Los Angeles Times. "We got here. No one thought we were going to get here. But I know these guys. It's not enough. We have a chance, and now let's see what we can do about it."

The Rockets weren't expected to challenge the Lakers, especially after All-Star center Yao Ming was lost for the postseason with a foot injury.

Adelman also said that his team has forgotten the 40-point beating Los Angeles handed them in Game 5 of the series.

"I really believe Game 5 was not us," Adelman said. "It's just everything happened negative for us and we have to fight through. As you saw as we approached [Game 6], we have the ability to do that and I think that's what we have to do."
