    Watching the blazers lakers game right now ariza just got ejected for a cheap foul on Rudy Fernandez and it looked like Odom came off the bench so maybe the Fakers will be without those two key guys

    If the Lakers played the way we did tonight and we played the way we played tonight, it will be a frustrating game to watch.

    The Key matchup is Gasol-Yao, obviously.

    But a matchup we should expose is the PG spot, Aaron Brooks or Kyle Lowry should have no problem taking on Derek Fisher, he has inconsistent defense. One game Fisher can't even stand in front of a door, another game he will be locking you down.

    Whoops...

    Rockets win!

    Just like we beat Denver after they laid an egg in Sacremento, we will beat LA after they did the same in Portland.

    This is the first time Kobe will be going at Artest and Battier in the same game.

    Battier was sidelined with injury in our first matchup with LA. Rockets got whooped that night. Tmac was 1-11 in field goals.

    Our second match up was our infamous loss at Houston where Kobe facial'd Battier with the killer 3.

    This time both lockdown defenders will be suited up. Kobe has not faced two defenders at one given time and it will be interesting to see if Adelman will go with Artest guarding Kobe the whole night and have Battier help in situational lapses.

    I am predicting Kobe will not be shut down but will be very inefficient which is what Adelman is aiming for.

    Must-see matchup on Wednesday.

    We need halt the 4th quarter slide to win this. We lost the last matchup because we lost it in the 4th.
