I think Cousins got ejected for the same thing a few games ago. Those plays I think a flagrant is fine, but incidental contact shouldn't be an ejection IMO

Oh Matthews is out for achilles soreness. Wonder if that is the same achilles he injured before.

I really like Matthews, but with KCP in, the rotation/minutes is just much better with one guard out.

I think its because he already had a tech.
Isn't a fragrant an automatic tech?

Not enough Caruso. I know we're winning but he needs to play more.

Also, I'm a Lakers fan but the refs are on some BS tonight. The PJ Tucker call was wrong. To compound it by giving him a technical was horrible. The Wall one just now was questionable, and I didn't think Wall was that demonstrative. To give him a T was weird. I also didn't agree with the Flagrant 2 on Cousins. He's clearly swiping down at the ball and just hit LeBron's head by accident. Maybe a Flagrant 1, which would have got him ejected anyways because of the previous tech.. but yeesh. If I was a Rockets fan, I'd be mad.

They called it a Flagrant 2, which I thought was a horrible call. I would have called it a Flagrant 1. However, that would have ejected him anyways because he had a previous technical foul.

That's a technical foul on the floor for making Harden slip

Who still thinks we got worse on Defense?

Who would of thought KCP and Caruso make the difference on defense.

This is the best defense we've played all season

Caruso was insane.. KCP was just average I thought.

Need more Caruso on the court man.

Feels like were running layup lines against this team.

I loved Nwaba. Real Laker fans know.

Put Caruso back in there already.

Outstanding energy and minutes from the youth brigade - THT - Caruso - Kuz

Might as well sit Davis and Bron and see if Schroder and Trez can win it for us.
