Please no Hart or Kuzma on Harden. It never ends well.

I have the exact same feeling about this game as I did for the Christmas game and the Oklahoma City game. I feel like we're going to get blown out.

So I hope I'm wrong again.

No Capella and CP3

Lakers need to take this. It's gonna be a Harden ISO show, but the rest of the roster is weak af. Just make Harden work to get his and make sure no one else gets easy wide open looks.

The paint is gonna be wide open, HOU aint got no rim protectors, their perimeter D is porous. HOU best chance to win is a shoot out, Lakers just need to stay disciplined and make HOU work for their open shots.

Would be momumental if we were able to steal this one. I’m hoping Bron is back by the Philly game.

Whether it keeps working or not, love what they’re trying on the defensive end. Make someone else beat you.

Wow. Perfect start for us. The strategy is kinda weird, but it's working.

I should have popped a Xan before this game even began. I already know the ref frustration is going to be a thing

When Harden drives right, every time he throws his left arm back to hook his defender. How is that not getting called?

How is James Harden allowed to so blatantly hook Ingram like that. He already moves in slow motion, why can't you **** blow the whistle? Harden literally sending his hoes to the refs hotel the night before the game. Guaranteed.
