" purple and gold are one of the window away from making it to the Western Conference finals that is tough policy. The couple Lakers to their march. Towards a helpful world championship -- do. Are here all right we figured guys at the Lakers are going to come back and bounce back with forty points but caught a forty point win that's pretty special day it was 69 point swing now and a three Houston down 29 and three in LA. Early upper forties -- 69 point swing but we talked about it we sat together during the game nice to know Andrew Bynum is alive and well and they got the ball out assault --"

" When you have an advantage you've got to seek out that advantage and I thought they made a concerted effort in game five. To do just that they pounded the Rockets on the interior and proud even and drop out and played really well to start the ball game. Didn't get a lot of minutes right but as a result of the score -- really didn't have to get a lot of minutes. -- jolt that -- particularly the effort in numbers here even if Lamar improved -- they stayed they can go with Andrew again and yeah the next day it was an exceptional that was successful at. And Lamar what eighteen minutes you really look hard enough but then -- the reason I was very with -- is this some players just play better as a starter some players can do it either way I think remark. Can do it either way I think Andrew plays much better as a starter so I would leave the lineup. Just two idiots let's get to Carl's junior asked the star and I use the general public want to know what the man in the know. Think about that Q how surprised were you mean we just -- set a W that I was shocked by the result I was shocked by the by the margin -- I was -- I was not surprised at all that they -- the game. The way they did it though because the Lakers had a had a propensity this year to give up as we know the big leagues but not only that with the second unit came on the floor and and we -- pleasantly surprised -- built on the late and then all of a sudden it went from nineteenth to 2530. And don't forget it was forty after three -- the end of the game was still -- yeah I thought they did a very good job but again when you look at the lineup that they have on the floor versus the -- lineup. That shouldn't have been any indication of anything but a big win for the Lakers because when you take away. Yao and Tracy McGrady out that basketball team the Lakers should prevail head was I see Jordan -- to -- points six assists and it was funny we talked about just a few nights ago here at the confidence Jordan far mark nice to see the confidence building once again. In Andrew Bynum he looked comfortable he was running the floor better Shane Battier was held down -- brooks -- look at per shot all night long and never found it great Laker defense just one of those nights. For Houston what was it as well relies Dallas for the Lakers they had some open looks Duke there's no question they have some open looks but they weren't would hit at a high percentage like they did on Sunday and brooks is one of their keys obviously if you look at the two wins that they had these head big games and their two losses he hasn't been. Quite as effective so it wouldn't helped the Lakers tremendously. If they would be able to make sure they can test everything did Aaron Brooks it's easier said than done because he's a."

" Work overall Billy -- the ballot X guys in double figures everybody got involved yeah out rebound -- you do the little things well and you shoot 51%. With very few turnovers there -- some national uproar about this is not a championship team nobody goes and Houston is like that in -- deserves a championship. I mean it's confounding trust me. Recover from offseason. Wrong they're out there down there also lit up though in particular for the record what's going on picked up. You know -- how do you account for this inconsistency aside what we've seen it though during the regular season despite the fact that they won 65 games they couldn't hold on believed they gave up leads but they were very very good road team and that's why -- like the chances of going into game six. Best road record in the NBA."

" But their bigs are obviously going to have to come up big again no pun intended. There are also going to have to take the lead of Kobe I think Kobe going to be the guy you know -- as -- Goes early on it seemed like it becomes very infectious for the rest of the team so instead of him being so much of a facilitator. I think he estimate that come out and be the true assassin."
