    Lakers we can beat. Not nearly as talented as the western conference titans, the Suns.

    Happy it's on ESPN. Hope we pull it out, but I'm not sure.

    Don't expect Harden to get too many calls his way.

    Game I've been waiting for. We clinch the 7th seed....Utah beats Memphis....and we finally eliminate the media darlings the Luckin Fakers.

    Prediction: Refs will continue to miss calls that favor the Rockets, while calling every foul for the Fakers.

    It is what it is, wake up sheep!

    If that's the case, our players need to just drive to the basket. Look for open passes and avoid getting the foul calls. If we aren't getting the foul calls, we need to do everything we can to get the ball to the basket.

    This isn't a B2B so I'm way more confident in this game.

    When Howard isn't on the court we have to attack the basket and have to guard the 3 and not let Gasol get wide open mid range shots.

    They'll be tougher to beat without Kobe, strangely enough

    Exactly! and well said, me and my wife constantly ask why do the Rockets feel contempt to hold on to the ball until the last 8 seconds?

    No secret we aren't good in back to backs. Still should've beatin suns though and are in a tough situation. Hopefully the rest will be enough for them to come out and run the Lakers to death and avoid the 8th seed.
