    Reality check: Shane hasn't even started practicing with the team yet. Embarrassing loss coming up. :(

    Battier's move is called the blindfold he doesn't go for the block

    If Shane doesn't return, then I don't really like the Rockets' chances of winning this game, or if they don't play better than they have in their last two games.

    But then, I feel that their only chance of winning the game would be if Kobe goes out there and takes a bunch of contested jump shots throughout the game.

    Here are a couple of links to threads on Lakersground.net concerning the game tomorrow for anyone who would care to look on that forum. The second link listed below is definitely centered on the game tomorrow.

    Yao will dominate this game and make the Lakers want a refund on Bynum's contract and the Gasol/Kwame trade.

    You have to move the ball when playing the Lakers. If they do that, rebound, and defend they will win the game. I predict a Rockets win and total team effort.

    Umm... "you're".

    If you're going to insult someone by calling them an idiot, at least do it right.

    Lakers are a good team

    We will have to play our best

    Keys to winning

    1) Big 3 should all score 16+ to even have a chance with at least one in 20+

    2) Rafer Alston and Luis Scola show up

    3) Carl Landry, Aaron Brooks, Brent Barry provide good rest

    4) Rebounding from Yao, Landry, and Scola

    5) Solid Defense.


    We are overlooking that Pau is even softer than Yao lol that rhymed

    Rockets win 98 - 90. The key will be the bench play.
