Kobe Bryant and the LA Lakers had a 10 game win streak going into Friday night. They really feel like they can win the whole thing! However, the Portland Trailblazers had their best player and former Rookie-of-the-Year, Brandon Roy, back on the court, and they were just too much for the Lakeshow. However, Kobe bounced back scoring 52 POINTS to beat the Dallas Mavericks in OT. The Lakers are for real this season.

But, watch out, there's another team on the rise. Even without their All-Star Center, Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets have won 15 games in a row!!! This is incredible, and they could be the underdog team to beat in the playoffs. The Rockets have made the playoffs over the past few years, but have made early, forgettable exits. Now, they are returning to their glory days of the mid-90s (when Jordan was playing baseball), and when they're good, the city of Houston is electric. Just a fun place to be.

For anybody missing the NFL, here's some news of interesting note:

Michael Turner, the Chargers back-up running back, is finally climbing out of LaDanian Tomlinson's shadow. He signed a six-year contract worth $34.5 million with the Atlanta Falcons. It's time to see if he really is the hidden superstar that Chargers fans saw glimpses of in Tomlinson's absence.

 

Many would think that Randy Moss would re-sign with the Patriots, and give it one more go at a championship. It seems logical, right? He had perfect chemistry with Tom Brady, and was under the guidance of guru Bill Belichick. Apparently, however, Randy Moss isn't even close to signing with the Patriots yet. He's looking around. And reportedly, he's been talking with his old friend an d Vikings teammate Daunte Culpepper about signing with the same team in free agency. That's nice, but why would he ruin such a great thing in New England. Although, losing the Super Bowl after an undefeated season is quite deflating, and one could probably understand if he wants to... 'try something new'.

Watercooler Discussion: "Is Randy Moss just a complainer like he was on the Oakland Raiders or should he jump ship?"
