Eat a snail? Or eat a spider? Get punched in the nose? Or get punched in the nads? Face the Rockets? Or face the Jazz?
The Rockets got the best of the Los Angeles Lakers this season. But the Rockets are a puzzlement, how on Earth did they win 22 in a row without Yao. With an amazing amount of guts. Tracy avoided his tendency to get injured, while pushing his team to victory. When his shots didn't fall somebody else picked up the slack. Skip To My Lou finally proved that he can be a legit guard in this league. Offensively Houston is only 22nd in the league. But defensively they are number 4 in points allowed per game and 2nd in FG% allowed. Shane Battier does an excellent job on limitng Kobes shot selection. But if the Rockets can miracuously get past the Jazz they will be dog-tired, using everything they got to do it. Plus the Lakers are playing at a very high clip right now. The rest of the Lakers would have to play big to help out Kobe. Gasol would have a field day of high percentage shots. Lakers in 5.
The Jazz had the best home record of the NBA, so the Lakers would be very grateful of their home court advantage against the Jazz. But the Jazz aren't invincible at home, the Lakers did give it too them on their homecourt back in March. The Stockton-Malone reincarnation of Boozer and Williams is scary. Boozer alone offers dreadful match ups for the Lakers whose only physical presence download is Turiaf. The guards will also have a tough time keeping D Will in front of them. The rest of the matchups are pretty close for the Lakers. AK47 is playing well again but can his length match that of Gasols or Lamars. The Lakers would have to bring a complete game to take the Jazz out. Lakers in 6.
