Well, all credit goes to Houston but I still think they are not a contender for NBA Finals especially without injured Yao Ming. They've been winning games without him I agree but it's too early to predict their success during the playoffs. No doubt T-Mac and Co have been playing some sensational bb, but it'll be hard for them to keep the momentum during playoffs without all start center Yao Ming. But today they really deserved to win. Congrats to all Houston Rockets fans. I hope they keep on playing great basketball and prove me wrong. 

I didnt want any injuries during this road trip but unfortunately Pau got injured but the good thing is it wasnt that serious. I'm not making any excuses but it was crucial not to have any players missing during this tough road trip. I hope he comes back very soon and Lakers play great basketball as they've been playing throughout the season. I just wonder how it's gonna be once AB gets back into the team. It's gonna be heckuva playoff series in the wild wild west.

Go Kobe! Go Lakers!!
