Lakers loose to Houston.

We have a problem LA. Sad but true. Lakers lost their season opener to Houston Rockets. Tracy and friends won by just 2 points but they won the rest doesnt matter. The game started very well for the Lakers. They lead the whole first quarter. Then things gone bad for them. The second they went behind. Not by much but they were lead the Rockets. Tracy didnt start the game at his game but when he shots started to fall he got into rythm and he was very hard to be guard or stopped. If Lamar Odom was on the floor the things would be very different in my opionion. For the Rockets also appeared Bonzi Wells who contrubuted for the win. Rafaer Alston was not on top of his game and probably he would be substituated for the next Rockets' game by Steve Francis. Francis didnt play even in the game against the Lakers. He was on the bench ready to play but coach Adelman didnt give him any playing time that night. Yao also played for the win.
On the other side Lakers' didnt show much of a team effort. Kobe had a huge a impact on the Lakers no to be behind be much. He scored 45 points, catched 8 rebounds, 4 stealed ballas 4 assists and one blocked shot. He lead the team's stats in every category. D fish had nice impact on the team. He played as well pretty good for the playing time he received for that game. Some people claim that Kobe played very selfish that game. That he is trying to prove that he is worth something and his team mates are not good for nothing. According to me these are non-scene talks. I am still looking for the Lakers to win their first game this season. Next game is against their play-off eliminator last two seasons - Phoenix Suns. The match is at Suns' Arena.
