Breaking Down The 2nd Round: Lakers vs Houston Rockets

[Mamba Venom]

The Rockets will be the toughest of the 3 teams.

My dream play-off match up is Kobe becomes Mr. smothering defense and out does Artest and Battier and holds LeBron to 10 ppg in the Finals. Kobe will only look for his in the 4th. That would be so bad a$$

Odom needs to start... Bynum doesn't give us much on defense and won't effect Yao much imo and he just clogs the paint for Kobe and Pau on offense. He should just come off the bench and take advantage of his size against the rockets second unit.

Bynum plays well against tall lengthy finesse-skilled big men like yao, and Duncan. I fully expect Bynum to start and have good games against Yao and the announcers are going to start swinging from Andrew's Jock and be surprised by how well he's able to defend them.
