    I'm all for the starters playing, but there's no way the Rockets can match the desperation te Lakers will have so the game 7 thing doesn't work.
    I think we beat then anyways. Their legs will be dead and ours fresh. Plus we are just better.

    resting might be good

    if the lakers need this game to get into playoffs

    lakers will be dirty and they might do cheap shots and get rockets injured

    Play them for the first half like a normal game, then sit Lin, Harden, Parsons, and Asik.

    There is a decent chance (I think) that the Lakers will either have locked up a spot or been officially eliminated from the playoffs by the time that game happens.

    If, however, we have the chance to eliminate them, then that's a chance we absolutely have to take.

    LUCK THE FAKERS

    If the Lakers are out of the playoffs, the starters should point and laugh at Kobe , and chant BMP.

    /not really
