What's funny is Rip is gonna have to guard Kobe. Just how many do you think Kobe is gonna lite him up for each night?

Do you also realize the Rockets were the best team defensively throughout the season? Look at what LA did to them in the playoffs, and the Rockets actually had the size(Yao, Cato, Taylor) to match up with LA, the Pistons don't. Ben is tiny next to Shaq, and Rasheed couldn't perform against the Lakers when he was in his prime in Portland, and the rest of the Pistons are a bunch of unproven playoff performers with zero experience........ Something the Lakers don't lack with Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton.
