This is the first back to back for us and to be honest are guys don't look like they're in game shape yet. Bynum was sucking wind in the 2nd quarter last night. Houston is playing with a lot of confidence and are always tough at home. Until Gasol returns the Lakers are going to need a second option to step up and dominate. Preferably it's Bynum and he gets going early against a short Rockets team. His teammates are doing a better job of looking for him this season and he's delivered. The bench also needs to play a big role tonight for us. They hardly saw the court last night against the Thunder. I'm not sure if this was by design or PJax didn't like what he saw from them yesterday? Kobe is clearly sick and he logged 42 minutes last night.
We can't be killing our guys this early on, rest them well tonight. Force the bench to develop somewhat. We are probably exhausted tonight.
Ok. I hope Bynum puts up 50 tonight with being matched up against a dude half a foot shorter than him. We better dominate the boards also.
