Maybe.

He might only sniffle if they get out of the first round this time.

I think it's impressive as hell, especially since they play in the Western conference.

They've been beating good teams also. No cupcakes.

Yeah. Bynum will be out of shape. He hasn't even been running on the treadmil. It looks like he'll be back just in time for the playoffs. So what may happen is they'll keep Gasol at the 5 and have Bynum work into the lineup backing up Gasol.

I was really looking forward to seeing Bynum and Gasol together.

BTW, Houston won it's 19th in a row.

Up to 20.

i watched a few games to find out how they win, They all play roles and play them to a T, diving for every loose ball, top defense and they rarely turn the ball over

Tre · « **Reply #8 on:** March 12, 2008, 08:01:37 PM »

They can get to 21. I watched them the other night and they're playing a good brand of basketball.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #9 on:** March 14, 2008, 08:24:38 PM »

Up to 21. Now tied with LA for the best record in the West. They play LA on Sunday and Gasol went down with a sprained ankle today.

Quickerblade · « **Reply #10 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:21:32 PM »

21 straight thats a awesome feat.

That should be a good game between the Rockets and the Lakers.With both sides in very good fourm.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2008, 10:14:51 AM »

Gasol is likely out, but still should be a good game.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2008, 03:24:51 PM »

22. Thumped my Lakers today. Houston is a good team, but I don't think they're a championship team.

Neither are the Lakers if they don't Gasol and/or Bynum back.

Battier did a great job guarding Kobe.

Will not be forgotten for a long time, because it's the second longest streak in NBA history.

Nothing predictable about the NBA this year. The best team in the East was a lottery team last year. No idea who will come out of the West.
