Rockets vs. Lakers - "The Test of Depth"

Tonight will be the ultimate test of depth for the Houston Rockets. Will they come alive? Or will our Rockets cower behind the invisible McArtest? What worries me this year other than the injury plague of the franchise, and the willingness, or should I say unwillingness, to fight in our so-called "leader," is that the Rockets depth has shown many great nights, but have also shown a lot inconsistency throughout the year.

Whether it be our bench beating the Celtics or the Lakers, this is another true test of our depth. Will it make us stronger? Of course! Will be win? Depends. It depends on who wants to come out and play tonight. It depends on who will not hide. It depends on ball movement, picks, fouls, turnovers, EXECUTION! Mostly, it depends on Yao.

Tonight will show our true colors without our "leader." And show who really needs to take over the leadership role.

Predictions: Rockets 91 - Lakers 96
