Really sucks that Ingram and Rondo can’t suit up for this one.

Rotation for this game, no ingram. Hart isnt a point guard but it can work because lance can be a point forward.

Pg lonzo-31 Hart-14 Lance-3
Sg-Hart-14 KCP-28 Lance-6
Sf- Kuzma -28 Lance-20
Pf-James-36 Kuzma-7 Beasley-5
C-McGee -29 Chandler-19

Harden looks like a combination of prime Wade and Durant when he plays the Lakers, let's see if we can slow him down today.

Why the F do guys contest Harden like he's Stephen Curry? Just get a hand in his face, that's it. Why are you trying to block him from 30 feet!?!?!?!

Truly dislike Houston Floppers. They truly take some of the fun out of the game for me. It's nearly impossible to guard Harden given the way the game is being officiated these days.

Hart has no chance guarding Harden since his biggest strength (bodying up players) wont work against one of the biggest floppers the game has ever seen.

Harden and Paul getting phantom calls. Goodness.

On the bright side, Lakers playing good one on one defense, aside from a couple PnR miscues.
