Lakers lost to Nets again, behind #8 Rockets by 4.5 games in the WC. It seems to be the only positive thing these days for the Rockets. Golden State are making a run too. Watch out for Boykins! Can we trade Cat for Boykins? He looks like an awesome PG, knows how to distribute the ball, penetrade, and makes clutch shots. I am not too worried about the Lakers. They seem would never get back in form. But watchout for the Warriors. Of course, if the Rockets play anywhere close to the level the should be able to play, we would never have to look back to see who is catching us in the playoff race...

You know, as I watch the Lakers continue to lose (barely squeek by the Clippers, loss to Golden State & New Jersey), that win over them last Friday is becoming less and less special. We didn't beat a championship caliber team, we beat a lottery team. Sure, we beat them, but so has everyone else.
