Go Lakers! 
Considering the Lakers had the toughest schedule in the NBA to start the season they did pretty good going 3-3. Six games in eight days is insane. And four of those games were without the big fella. Time to regroup and beat the Rockets!

Kobe's going to do one of two things.
Take hardly any shots in the first half and end up with 10 fga
Throw up 20 shots and hit 9-11 of them on route to a 30 point game with 6-7 assists.

I look forward to Kobe redeeming himself; I think he will.
I also look forward to another huge night for Drew, and a Laker win most of all. |

It was actually good to see McRoberts trying to fight through the pain and hustle. I didn't know his toe was still that bad.

| I'm guessing Kobe is going to beast this game. Here's hoping Pau and Drew can continue to play well together and Blake plays great again. |

Hopefully they just play their game and Kobe doesn't try to go beast mode or Magic/assist machine mode. Everyone just needs to take good shots and have good ball movement. Is that too much to ask? Of course it is. 
Lakers win. Kobe has 23 and 6. One of the bigs gets 30 and both get double doubles. |

Balanced attack.
Little inside. Little outside. Back to the inside... then back to the outside. Little run. Little pass. Some body shots, then some head shots.
It'll keep us balanced and keep the defense off balance.
Just read how the defense is playing us and take advantage of it.
Just play smart.

Take what the defense gives you. They just have to move the ball around better like you said.
