    Game ends in either of two ways

    Absolute blowout loss. Harden 4 points.

    Dwight blocks Harden's game winning layup.

    Nice try, I give you credit regardless the outcome.

    You forgot the verb.

    Sorry, missed "win". But I really think the rockets can win this one. Both Harden and WB are too quick for the LA Lakers.

    Better believe the guys will get up to play for this one. I wanna see Harden pickup Bron when PJ rests.

    Not optimistic. Lakers have much more talent. Westbrook will go ballistic and take 30 shots, most will be missed.

    Hope they both play. Rockets won’t give a damn about the game if they don’t.

    as i see it this game is a win-win situation for us. if we win, great. if we lose, just puts more pressure on the front office to do something, and if they don't then at least their cards have been shown and hopefully we won't have to listen to tilman's BS "i dunno how we ended up not paying the tax" garbage anymore

    I mean...I thought we were already past this point. We know Tilman has made pretty much exclusively financially driven moves, and no winning moves at the expense of the team. There have been plenty of moments that the team has been “pressured” to do something, and have chosen not to. Nothing will change now.

    We play to the level of our opponents. So I suspect a close game. Harden will have his head in the game from the start with Russ in rhythm it could be a game for the ages. Just gotta hope Eric Gordon is back in form. And BMac makes his shots.

    Pretty much means rondo is G2G and Davis will be GTD
