    How is a 5'10" PG so effective?

    CP3 may be better at facilitating than DROSE.

    Good CP3 gettin some spotlight now, takes some buzz off the Rose-Wagon.
    CP3 can score as much but is a way better playmaker.

    One game. Lets see if the momentum is sustained. The playoff experience of the Lakers will be vital for them to overcome this setback.

    How can they possibly "Rep" the Rockets? We're an NBA franchise just like all those other teams? We're not some minor league squad that they got called up from. Their success let's us know that there is work to be done.

    steve blake has chicken pox, how old is he 8? anyway they won't let him near the team because kobe, artest, and bynum have never had it, so more cp3 against fisher for next game looks like.

    Shannon Brown might look like a bigger fool. At least Fisher has some savvy. Brown has rocks in his head and would fall for every CP3 trick in the book.

    at least Brown should be able to keep Paul in front of him on iso's....Fisher tries to smother him and still lets him by him..

    many teams around the league would love okafor over their starting center, the rockets being one of them

    Deron played for Utah if they were not struggling he would still be there. They arguably have just as much talent around Deron as Chicago has around Rose.

    And Chicago supporting cast around Rose is not that much greater than New Orleans supporting cast.

    Drose and good passer are to words that should never go together.

    Drose is a beast at scoring, but he's not on the same plant as cp3 is in terms of passing.

    ariza was 2-13 and the team still shot 51% for the game. i'm rooting for the NO but they had to play out of their minds to barely get a win. we will see game two if pau shows up. bynum actually had a good game

    The Lakers will try to shove Pau down their throat at the beginning of game 2 and probably the entire game. Hornets need to be ready to defend the post early. I don't expect Kobe to start out aggressive.
