Not to hijack this, but you tell your Rockets that they damn well better roll over and let the Lakers beat them in this series.

Doing well in sports pools are kind of a big deal around here. So while I got some props for having the balls to pick the Rockets, I mostly got laughs for picking the Rockets (twice!). Not this year, no! This year I went chalk and took the Lakers...and now they're down 1-0 to Houston? Ugh

LOL.
