    Most important of the first 4 games, because if LA will blow the Rockets out I think our confidence will go down drastically and LA will have the confidence to take game 2 easily. Then it's just one game away of facing elimination and coming back from 3-1 down is something I do not see happening.

    We need to at least keep this close, but it would be better if you come out like they did in Game 1 @ portland and Yao needs to be aggresive like last night.

    I somehow feel the Rockets will get overconfident with Yao not nearly as aggresive as in game 6 since that was all because of the 1st round curse.
    I also feel AB will go back to not passing to Yao, rushing the shots and Artest going nuts.

    It will not be close and a loss, though I hope they will prove me wrong since I am confident of the series if they play to their potential.

    Blowout: 107-88

    I think the Rockets can have another game 1 upset. Kobe will have an off night and the media will proclaim Ron/Shane, Kobe killers...Kobe goes for 40+ in game 2.

    106 - 91 Rockets

    Go flat out against them. You've got nothing to lose and all to gain.

    Rockets by a hair....

    I expect Luis to have the most influence in game one.

    Rockets 96
    Lakers 93

    Let's Go. We are just getting started baby. Go Rockets!

    Keys to the series will be....

    -Defend their Big Three Kobe, Gasol and Odom.
    -Outrebound them, we need more posessions
    -Get the ball inside to Yao, this is the only team that is most likely not going to front Yao
    -Bring in Energy

    If we do all 4 of these, we should win the series. #2 is the hardest one to do though.
