    Looking back to the last few seasons where Houston ran roughshod over us, this is so sweet.

    4-1, had a very high chance of being 5-0 without AD. I am so happy with how this team has played lately. I feel once AD comes back, our team will take it to the next level.. We should be having some news about Collison coming to the Lakers as well. The next few weeks will be interesting. Go Lakers!

    That was a fantastic win on the road. And without AD? Yeah, I'll take it!

    I do hope AD comes back on this trip though. We've got some tough opponents coming up.

    Rockettes played like the pansies they are when it matters. I was expecting a tough game with AD and Rondo out, but Vogel's adjustments in the second half and the pansies missing shots all over the place made the game a joke.

    I'm glad we lost the Orlando game and won the Rockets game - the Rockets game was a 'scheduled' loss - so we basically made up for the ORL loss - and I would have much rather won against Houston than against Orlando if given the choice (and even the Orlando game we almost won after being down by 20 two different times int he game. Impressive stuff really.

    Oh - and we're 34-8...can we get to 40 before 10 losses?

    We got the green bastards up next - I hope they play their full lineup though - and hopefully we'll have AD back as well.

    Loving this team - love how everyone plays for each other - we deserve this - it's been a long 6-7 years man. Lakers are effing back.

    That was a great win. Had the feel of a playoff game, even with the mixed crowd and Bron's MVP chants.

    Our defense, our bench, our mentality... it's really special to watch.

    Hell, the bench players are even giving energy while they're not in the game. With cheering, communication with the 5 on the floor, letting the refs know they're s***. Their presence in the 3rd was noticeable.

    It was nice to see us battle some of those calls and overcome.

    I love beating the Rockets, absolutely love it. I don’t fear them at all this year, they’re soft, and Westbrook has the same likelihood to go ice cold as CP3 does to get injured at a key time. He was great last night, but Harden was “ok” by his standards and our team was better.

    :Carusoshaka: Thank God this isn't football and we don't have to wait an entire week after a loss to get back out there. Also, a reminder that we're having a great season overall.

    Surprised he's not questioning his "grit" after last night.
