    What a joke.

    Mike Harris, please clean Odom's clock with an elbow to his ugly face if he gets anywhere near you after you get that rebound.

    Thanks.



    Oh, and Mashburn too.

    Mashburn is a terrible analyst. Not just with this predictions but with everything he says. Seriously, ESPN can do way better than this guy cuz he sucks to listen to.

    Sasha, Jordan, Turiaf, and Radmonovic suck. They can't rebound or play D. You can't shoot the ball, if you are losing possessions to the Rockets' defense and rebounding. A Mike Harris defensive rebound and slam dunk is a higher percentage play than Radmanovic losing the rebound to the Rockets.

    Completely agree with everything. The Lakers are DEEP with their bench. Farmar is basically Luther Head with handles and without the bonehead plays. Sasha and Radman are terrific 3 point shooters who can hoist it up with ease, and Turiaf is their energy/hustle guy just like Hayes is ours. We're not going to out-talent the Lakers. We have to rely on our hard-nosed defense and chemistry to grind it out. The Lakers have great chemistry too but their defense isn't as disciplined as ours. Basically, for us to win, we have to HOPE we shoot well. We have to HOPE Rafer shoots well, and Battier, and Luther, and T-Mac etc.., while the Lakers bring that consistent shooting every night.

    Hahaha, that Mashburn guy never learned. He always picked against us to lose after we won our 17th game in a row. He always say "...oh they gonna lose this game and that game". Funny how he mention the deep lakers bench but dismissed landry. Defeintely a rocket hater.

    then, how if it possible for a team that hasn't done anything to be in first place, tie w another team that has won 22 games in a row

    It's too early to the Laker's game as a win. I wouldn't overlook the Lakers so easily. The Lakers still have a chance to keep the streak at 21.

    Those Laker's roleplayers can't play defense or rebound. Now that you have seen them play. They got beat on the boards and defense. They can't shoot 3s if they don't have possessions. Go Rockets!

    The funny thing is, he said Kobe didn't have to play 48 minutes to beat us.

    Kobe played 47:03 and they lost.

    I guess it was proven that the Lakers weren't deeper then the Rockets. Jackson, that "brick waiting to happen" dropped 19 points in 20 minutes. And once he's healthy Landry is also a bench player for the Rockets.

    Did Mash predict that our streak would be over after the New Orleans game? Ha......a lot of cred he has.
