    If we win, then the Clips could also be ahead of the Lakers

    Yao drops 51 points, and kobe says, "wow, I love and admire you more than ever, would you mind coming to play aside me?" HAHHAHA:D :D :D

    After a decent game against the best team in the league, we destroy the Lakers.

    Rockets 109
    Lakers 91

    Yao's shot starts to drop, he gets 26. McGrady goes for 33 while D-Dub and Berry continue to contribute positively.

    we'll win. we lost to them the first time because tmac was out and boki and ward were playing significant minutes. we couldn't have won with boki and ward playing significant minutes.

    Roxs win easily,

    The Lakers have looked like crap the last couple of games. The Roxs on the other hand have shown a lot of improvement.

    Well, most predicted that the Lakers would be a pretty average team like the Clippers, who predicted we'd be looking up to the Clippers? Larry Brown isn't there no more.

    Well, we have to keep thier transition points down as they have turned into a running team. But, as long as we can hold Odom in check, I think we can pull this one out. Yes, I said Odom. Kobe will get his but we have to keep Odom from abusing our PFs.

    It should be a shoot out with both Kobe & Tmac donating money depending on how many points they get. Should be fun to watch!

    PS: Yao seems to have big games in LA whether Shaq is there or not.

    Is kobe going to donate 1g every shot he makes in that game? Gundy should put out fine of 5g for the whole team on every shot that Kobe makes. You dont want your opponent out-motivate you. :D

    Laker is still a dangerous team at Staples. If Kobe gets crazy and Odom gets a near tripple double. We will have our hands full. Tmac cannot be allued into one on one death match with Kobe. Yao needs to use his head not get into foul trouble, and not look for foul, finish it strong instead.

    I predict a loss

    This is exactly what I'm worry about. TMac has to take a back seat to let Yao do his thing to win this game. Yao should get the ball automatically the first 10 trips down the court. Just throw it in, let the big guy decide what to do with the ball. Don't go away from him if he miss a couple shots, or drops a couple passes. Stay with the course is the key to have an easy win over the Lakers.

    I predict Tmac will get scorched by Kobe and at the same time, everyone else on the team freezes Yao out and he only gets 5 points for the entire game....

    during a timeout, JVG will yell at Yao like he did at the Suns game.

    I think this game will be interesting from a perspective that goes beyond the actual game.
