The Lake show finally broke out of their little funk and opened a can of whoop ass on the Yao-less Rockets. We rebounded, attacked the basket and took advantage of our size--or their lack of size depending on how you look at it. The Lakers FINALLY picked up their defensive intensity, holding the Rockets to 32% from the field and winning the rebound battle by 7. Kudos Phil, for getting my message. I'm still not sure why Luke Walton is getting more minutes than Odom, Bynum or D-Fish, but the lakers were rotating on defense and moving the ball of offense. It's nice to see Farmar and J-Powell getting more minutes. Hopefully we can maintain our defensive intensity throughout the rest of the playoffs--we're definitely gonna need it against a much more offense-savvy Nuggets squad.
I'm currently eating some nachos and watching the Dogs drop a deuce on the Phillies. The Doggies are playing a really exciting brand of baseball--we're bunting, stealing and hit-and-running. I really dig O-Dog in the 3-hole, he can spread the ball all over the field and he gives us the fastest top of the line-up in the bigs. Furthermore and henceforth, I was wrong about Randy Wolf. I predicted he would struggle to hold onto his spot in the rotation, but the dude throws a lot of strikes and he's got 4 solid pitches.
Yours Truly,
DB
