What did you think of the Lakers and Rockets game today?

The Lakers pulled it off again in Overtime, Bynum was great with 17 points and 17 rebounds, Kobe was his usual self with 41 points, and Artest hit a big shot tonight. The Rockets played good team ball today and were killing the Lakers on the high pick and roll.

What are your thoughts?

BQ:What you think of Artest celebration after the 3 he hit?

BQ2:How much does Pau Gasol mean to the Lakers?

BQ3:What's your team's record?

Star if you like :D

    Good win. I have to tip my hat off to Houston. They are a gutsy team. Kobe proved his greatness once again, against a tough defender in Battier. He makes even the most difficult shots look easy. Bynum continues to show that he is one of the best centers in the league, if healthy.

    BQ: That was premature (though I was pumping my fists and yelling "Yes!"), just like Ariza's celebration.

    BQ2: He takes a heckuva lot of pressure off of Kobe. His scoring down low, rebounding, passing, and underrated defense is essential to LA's success. Without Gasol, Kobe has to be more offensive minded. When Gasol comes back, he will team up with Bynum to form the best 4-5 startng combination in the league, and scare people from getting in the lane with their length and athelticism.

    BQ3: 4-1

    Was a great game but the Rockets had it in there hands!! But its ok because the Lakers are good and I'll never feel bad losing to the Lakers. I'm just proud of the Rockets because we have NO big name talent on our team and took the World Champion Star Studded Lakers to Over time!

    BQ: Artest is just being Artest. No one should ever take him serious. \

    BQ2: He means more than what most people think. With him in the lineup they will have the best 5 in the league. ( probably ever)

    BQ3: Rockets are 3-2 i believe.

    I knew it was going to be a tough game with the OT last night and if the bench was going to under perform, but I was really not hoping for another OT...

    Rockets are an annoying team because of their scrappiness and can pose a problem to many teams; Trevor is lookin good though :D

    BQ: TIME OUT!

    BQ2: Very important to the Lakers, bench really needs Lamar to lead them, and Pau is the consistent go-to guy that everyone can play around (2nd best on Lakers for a reason)

    BQ3: 4-1

    Source(s): I'm a Laker fan.

    convinced, the Lakers lost so the game develop into rigged. The 17 Laker losses in the course of the customary season, all rigged. the only recreation hostile to the Jazz they lost? Rigged. recreation a million and recreation 4? RIGGED Lakers must have lengthy previous 80 2-0 yet David Stern hates la and rigged all their losses.

    GREAT game. After Bynum didn't make the free throw, i thought we was going to lose if we didn't play defense.

    Pau is a great player if he had played we might have won by like 10 points. The bench didnt score that much doe.

    4-1

    it was a good game. It felt like a play off game although Lakers just played horribly.

    BQ: Premature but cool at the same time.

    BQ2: Gasol is almost as valuable as Kobe on that team.

    BQ3: 4-1

    I'm just glad they won. Hopefully they can keep winning these close games until Pau comes back. Then we can really see what the lakers are made of.

    A very hard earned win, but I was displeased with how many easy points in the paint they gave up. and why they weren't going to Bynum more inside is beyond me. But it was a good win none the less.
