I live in Houston and I like the Rockets, but I wouldn’t bet on them. They lost Yao Ming and I don’t think they’ll make it far in the playoffs because they don’t have a reliable big man. I would go for the Lakers. I think their going to be tough once their healthy. They got Kobe Bryant one of the best scoring players in the game. And they also have three Seven foot players in Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Andrew Bynum. The Lakers are gonna be a force to reckon with in the West.
