    True dat. It feels like hell thinking we are almost there, almost good enough to stand in the Finals and then fall short again and again.

    The hate factor is strong.

    It's possible that Kobe hated being teammates with Dwight AND hated Dwight leaving the Lakers. This much trauma can lead even Kobe Bryant to sharing the ball with his teammates and playing better defense than usual. Same with Lin - he believes we disrespected him and will want to make up for that.

    Obviously, we're a better team than them. But we need to be prepared. I hope the team has had a chance to practice and get some rest. A game in Mexico followed by a back to back = early season heavy legs.

    Lol, I'm not going to lie, I'm actually kind of scared of this game. LA is coming of a road win over a decent Atlanta team and they got Nick Young back. The Rockets on the other hand have looked just dreadful the last couple of games.

    Sometimes hate can make you more powerful as love does but sometimes hate also inhibits you.

    It goes either way. Either way support our Rockets!

    Like 76ers, another trap game.
    Kobe will drop 40pts on us.
    James Harden will still struggle his shooting as usual.

    Dwight needs to shoot better from the Free Throw line. Its getting a bit out of hand now.

    This game is going to be tougher than people think, we've been waiting for 2 games now to bounce back and the Lakers can score in bunches so. I expect it to be close and it can go either way.

    I don think it will be an easy win, as the Lakers are coming off their first road win, with Nick Young back, Jeremy Lin played a good game and will look to perform well in Houston.

    Granted its a back to back for them but this will not be an easy one

    Our momentum certainly has been very bad. Let's hope they can prove us wrong.
