    The lakers are on a 9 game winning streak, and their schedule is actually quite different compared to the rockets. Maybe it's that they have only 2 road games in the next 16 games with only 1 back-to-back. Yet, this, according to some posters on this board, mediocre team was the last team to beat the Lakers. Not only did we just beat them, this was on their floor, and we won by double digits. I think this may be a measuring stick of wait for it.................................our teams huffort.

    Lakers were missing Gasol back then, making them much more vulnerable.

    They're on a 9 game winning streak since then, with Pau back on the roster, they're beastly dominant in the paint.

    Miami had a chance to end the streak but Kobe banked a 3 pointer to keep the streak alive. :eek:

    I don't understand why so many people are obsessed with the lakers. We're not contenders this year, don't delude yourselves. Hell we're probably gonna be fighting for the 8th spot with the freaking Kings for gods sake.

    ya with gasol back that team is so hard to pick apart. i saw some of the suns game, it was brutal, with gasol and bynum dominating the post and bryant around the perimeter, scoring becomes an ease

    Do you think not having Yao and Tmac makes the Rockets more vulnerable?

    I don't care if the Lakers win 32 in row, I'll never have one ounce of respect for anyone on that team or their fans.


    Sorry.
