Aw, this sucks.

How can the Lakers measure themselves now? However… do you think this is a ploy of the Houston Rockets ala Boston Celtics and Paul Pierce? Maybe a little drama can pump up the Rockets?

If true (the injury, not the drama), the Rockets are still a dangerous team. With Yao playing, the Lakers kept running and Yao lagged behind most of the time. Without Yao, maybe the Rockets can now run with the Lakers.

Well, the Lakers are going back to complacency mode. I’ll assure you that.
