Houston vs Los Angeles Game 1 **Spoiler**

The Dallas Denver series really will be decided by the health of Josh Howard. He is so important to the Mavs and is an under-rated defender that could make Melo work hard.

I say let him smoke all the weed he needs to get over the pain and let him play!

well Houston proved me wrong which is a win win situation as I'd way rather that Houston/Dallas/Denver had a shot at the title from the west. Unfortunatly that's only game 1 and LA are far from finished but credit where credit is due Quagmire.

Kingjames- did you cut and paste the 'finally right about something' post from the last time, you know, when i correctly predicted Dallas would make the finals at the expence of Phoenix?

When i'm right about Dallas beating Denver will you use the same post?

Some interesting things to come out of the game- stolen straight from the espn re-cap;

LA is 2-7 in play-off games when Kobe shoots over 30 times....

LA shot 2-18 from downtown. Now going cold from outside is not uncommon, but it usually happens playing in another teams gym, not your home floor.

Hat off to Rick, he got the Rockets game ready.

Game 2 becomes huge. Although i thought the Rockets would win one away, i didn't think it would be game 1.

Also, can we confirm that Kobe missed a shoot-around due to swine flu?

Expect Kobe to come out strong in game 2, try to win it by himself. Rockets will be hoping that is exactly what happens.

This series hinges on coach Jackson convincing Kobe to set up team-mates, not easy to do with the biggest ego ever on the court.

Can Yao keep this up for a whole series? Am i the only one just waiting for him to break down at some stage?

What the greatest player of all time couldnt get his team over the line. Sh*t playtime want be able to use his 5 daughters tonight.

43-40 @ tha half.
Yup Quagmire's crystal ball has been on the money so far but there is another 2 quarters left for "kobe tha most amazing bestest greatest great choice cool radical rad super special player in the world EVER EVER" to piss on their parade lol. Doubt it'll blow out but I will be surprised if LA don't come away with a win.
Prove me wrong Houston

Not sure on West, Eastern , Woodville and Centrals. Feel free to add your knowledge to this discussion.

I'm betting that LAboy is going to at least get a double double and shut down Artest while playtime will be solid backup for Sun Yue lol
