    Kobe is coming off of 6-18 and 6-28 games with 17/16 points respectively. The Lakers have played more games than anyone so far, let's hope we can take advantage.

    No reason for Scola, Martin, Dragic to lose this.

    I'll take the Rockets in this one; I think they can do it. Rested, tested, and ready.

    Haha Touche! However if we had Gasol they wouldn't have Gasol and we wouldn't have to worry about it. :cool:

    Lowry has trouble with two big men in the paint. He loves driving into the lane, baiting the big man, and dishing it to Hill/Dalembert for an easy bucket or going up for a layup looking for a foul. But with Bynum and Gasol in the middle, it's very difficult to find a passing lane or going for a layup. Hopefully Lowry and the rest of the team can get a lot of steals and convert them into fast break points. Also rebounding will be imperative. How many times have we seen the Lakers get multiple shot attempts ending in Gasol with a put-back?

    Not a big Thabeet fan, but what's the point of sitting him on the bench when you need to evaluate what you have in order to decide to bring him back or not? In that case, the Rockets should have amnestied Thabeet and moved on. Since they didn't, they need to play him no matter how painful it may be.

    I'm worried about Bynum doing something stupid to a Rocket. If we still had Chuck Hayes, I wouldn't worry, but we don't We have glad to live the NBA Life, gonna milk it for all it's worth Jordan Hill, and I got paid big bucks because i'm tall Thabeet.


    Can't wait for Lowry to go off on Blake and Fisher. And I hope Lowry leads fisher into a Scola blind pick.

    The Rockets played well in that first quarter! Scola and Martin each with 8 points. Kobe the only one who has showed up so far.

    We gotta get a split. That's actually the keyword for me in this first 10 or so. Split.

    Split the LA games. Split the OKC games. I'll be happy.
