tonight is just a regular game...

i see no rivalry or anything...

unlike the clippers game, which was truly spectacular, i'm expecting a loss tonight...dwight may go crazy against the lakers but i don't see the lakers responding back like the clippers game.

the game that will be played at staples is the one everyone is looking towards to...perhaps kobe will be back and destroy the rockets.

[ForrestHump]

Will be one of those games where we'll struggle to start while the other team's red hot from 3(wide open looks) and when we pull closer (someone goes hot), Harden and Howard will start getting to the line and we'll lose by at least 10 points, if not more.

I'd love to expect a better outcome, but Kobe's out and we don't really have anyone, who can score 20 points on a consistent basis, this is a bad match-up for us because the Rockets LOVE to run and their system is pretty much the same, only that they have a better core and 2 superstar caliber players vs our crop of average/above-average talent + aged Pau and Nash.

We have no one to hide Nash/Blake on. Even Lin will destroy Nash and Beverly may apply the 90 feet full court press on Nash.

Hope they prove me wrong, but this is going to be a blowout loss. Houston has looked very sharp offensively this season, and their defense has been fine minus the one Clippers game.

[rybee]

I hope we use hack a howard for the lols. That's how the Rockets beat us last year

[pmacla]

we should start Sacre instead of Kaman and just have him foul Douche12 hard when he gets the ball and knock Harden on his butt when he drives to the hole to send a message

Chris Kaman is going to start tonight


I think Kaman starting tonight will work better than having Williams in there. We need a strong body on Howard. However, we still need MDA to come to his senses and not start Blake.

Nash

Johnson
Kaman
Gasol

Please and thank you!

[cisternachyli]

jeez lets just keep this one close....i just want to beat these guys cause of Dwight..

[frenchbullcho]

Harden is going for 81 tonight !

[Purp&Gold]

its so easy to guard dwight, just try to strip him hard every time he's going up and if you get caught with a foul let him choke at the line. eventually he will get frustrated swing his arms and pick up a foul.

Loss

[Laker_Town]

[madsen35]

Let's hack Dwight from the very first possession, just to mess with his head.

Chris Kaman is starting at Power Forward:

[K0BEE 2.0]

Hoping for either Chandler or Harden to have a bad game... best case is that Harden becomes a ball-hog and shoots 25 shots...

[Jeggs]

I hope Dwight makes stupid fouls, and I think we should utilize the Hack a Dwight to ruin their flow of the game. Let's show the world why Dwight is a huge liability.

Someone convince me how we can win this game because I just don't see it happening save Harden + Dwight + parsons shooting 30%
