Agree 110%... Odom had a monster game! I wish Bynum would play like this all the time.

Well Odom and Bynum played well lol.

I just think it's too hard for him and Gasol to both have monster games while Odom and Bryant have their days.

We would need to score like 120pts a night lol

Wow Lamar was only 1 assist away from a Triple/Double w/ the Flu. That is just incredible.

Lakers played extremely well tonight w/o Gasol..... (Celtics fans?????)

Lamar's performance was quite impressive - but, I would not say the Lakers played extremely well. They scored 88 points against a team with no true star/superstar (Yao's out, T-Mac hasn't played much this season, and surely hasn't been at a star-superstar level). They won, and while a win is a win, I wouldn't go anywhere close to saying that they played extremely well. Not sure what the "(Celtics fans????)" is all about though...

Because Gasol is injured & Odom played w/ the Flu :)


they kept the Rockets to 79 points, after giving up over an average of 100 pts the last 5 games.... stop being a hater. That isn't impressive? stop looking at stats, watch the game.

Ok, I watch the game and I still see that they only scored 88 points against a team with no true star/superstar...and I'm not a hater...people always talk about how they hate teams...it's a form of entertainment...hate is far too strong for a form of entertainment...life is too short...reserve hate for someone that severely wrongs you, your family, or your country.

I didn't know you had to score over 100 every game to make it impressive.... I say holding a NBA team under 80 pts is pretty impressive. Especially after their last 5 games, but that must just be me

Didn't say that...scoring 88 points and winning against a team that has a great defensive system (Boston, San Antonio, etc) is good - but, again, the Rockets don't have a true star/superstar, they aren't a great defensive team, and the Lakers could only muster 88 points...plus, they had 20 turnovers - far too many - and 25 fouls - 12 by guards. Holding a team under 80 is good - only scoring 88 isn't too good.

It's so funny when people say the Rockets aren't a good team because they don't have a 'superstar'. Watch the Rockets play. They're one of the best all-around teams in the NBA, I don't care what anyone says. Battier, Scola, Brooks, Landry, etc. They have a bunch of 'no-names' who know how to play the game, and they play it damn well.

I never said they weren't a good team - I said they have no star/superstar, and they aren't a great defensive team, like Boston, San Antonio, etc...
