what that game proved is that the lakers need kobe for go for 40 and artest to miss most of the 4th quarter in order to win.
Rockets in 5, maybe 6.
Lakers need to blow that team up and get players who can actually play playoff basketball, rather than Pau (consistent in choking) Gasol, Lamar (one game i score 25 next game i score 4) Odom, Andrew (10 rebounds isn't enough for me - don't trade him lol but someone needs to yell in his ear), Bynum, Trevor (everyone thinks i'm a good defender because i have long arms) Ariza, and Luke (only in the NBA because of my dad) Walton.
Derek Fisher is arguably the toughest player on the Lakers. Derek Fisher is a 6'1 point guard. That does NOT win in the playoffs.
