Game 23: Houston Rockets (17-4) @ Los Angeles Lakers (8-14) - LOSS - 8-15

Harden is a beast. There's just no other way to put it. Can't believe OKC let him go.

I was just thinking this today. Granted, having three mega-usage players on one team isn't ideal. But man, any team would kill to have that problem. Everyone thought they were the team of the future in 2013, and they broke up almost immediately while the Warriors swooped in behind them. Just goes to show you how fragile and unpredictable success really is, something we're getting a full dose of after being spoiled for so many years.

Calf injury.

Well, we know they won't relegate him to the bench, so just rest him for the week. Let Jordan start and call Caruso back up to compete with Tyler.

Can lonzo act like he wants to be in the NBA. Dude plays like he owns the team no drive no basketball dog what happened after the Tripple double? I don't think jerry west would've drafted lonzo. Can we trade magic and lonzo for Westbrook and presti. People get off Luke at this rate y'all will have lavar ball coaching the lakers. -

We need to take Nance out of the starting lineup.

Why bother we're going to lose no matter who's out there anyways.

Wow. How do I give a minus 1?

If you and iamworthy were applying for a job, I wouldn't have to interview... iamworthy would get the job by default.

Well guess what we still lost to Houston you a hole.

Pretty much you're reinforcing my point there.

Well you're still an a-hole so you just reinforced my point there.

[Beethoven]

That's just your little mind's uneducated opinion.

If you allow a benign internet reply rile up enough to call someone an "a hole" , I wonder how often you allow others in your personal life to have power over you to call them that as well.
