Lakers vs. Rockets -Game Thread

[flawless victory]

Really nervous about this game. The Rockets don't really have anyone that can match up with Bynum's size and strength. Chuck Hayes, who is 6 inches shorter and about 40 lbs lighter, is probably their best bet. If he can limit Bynum's production, I think the Rockets will have a shot. This is assuming of course that Battier and Ariza can slow down KOBE.

AB and Scola need to have BIG games tonight.

IMHO either this will be close all game long with the Lakers playing pretty average just like last night or the Lakers will get a huge margin early in the game and lose it till the 4th quarter and we'll have a close ending...

anyway we need to destroy them under the baskets, waiting for a big game from Drew.

He's longer, that's for sure. Bynum, unlike Pau, only needs to reach over a player to have a comfortable release on his hook shot. Pau needs momentum, which Hayes doesn't allow much of. That's why Pau is constantly using a bunch of footwork while Bynum just uses a simple head fake and a jump hook. Pau gets into trouble when he meets excellent post defenders like Hayes, while Drew struggles against guys like Dwight or Oden who he can't just extend his arm over.

Dang i have class. uh anyways go lakers.

[Imadogg]

Go Lakers. No Pau.

Should be fun to watch i guess, but I think Lakers will end up winning by 8-10 points

Got a feeling the Rockets might get a W tonight. Lakers havent been playing that well, or at least up to there standards. Trevor Ariza must have a chip on his shoulder and i expect a big game from him tonight.
