    Well let's see what starting 5 we trot out tonight. I hope MDA is not stupid enough to insert Covington in the starting line-up right away nor doesn't play him only a few minutes. We run one of the simplest offenses, he knows how that works. I also hope w/ Westbrook out no silly 4 guard and Tucker line-ups given their size. Give me the following:

    Harden - Gordon - House - Thabo - Tucker
    Rivers - McLemore - Covington - Hartenstein

    The Chronicle is reporting that both Covington and Bell will be available for today's game.

    He's doubtful so I'd say don't take risks and I don't think they will.

    We got Covington for the likes of Lebron so let’s see how he goes on national tv

    Small ball and new players tested with a real contender. Some convinced RoCo is a better fit even at the expense of Capela. Spacing and some wing D above rim protection. Seems like it is Rocket's last good crack at MDA's way.

    Have no idea which way it'll go. I'll settle for a close game if we can get it


    It will be interesting to say the least.

    I hope it's competitive. Looks like it's Lakers -6.5 to 7 online, and that a Vegas book took the game off for some reason.

    Very interested to see how Covington and Bell integrate into this team. Also interested to see if iHart gets any minutes at all.

    Not at all looking forward to the officiating.

    I think everyone in the trade still has to pass physicals?
    Not sure Cov is even available to suit up

    Lakers - 7.5
    O/U 234
    Rockets + 255 money line :)

    Post ups and mid ranges and giant line ups vs small ball and 3's. MDA is gonna force the Lakers to downsize. Centers are over rated ;). I'm smelling an upset.

    Go Rockets!
