    Trap game. The Lakers are scrappy. NO KCP, sooooooooo super easy win, but still.

    I caught the Lakers / GS game the other night, and LAL was playing very very well.

    Lakers are a long athletic team who plays fast and aggressive.

    Kuzma is very good, and Ingram has his moments.

    Take this team seriously.

    Yeah, this game will be interesting. Should be more of a challenge than most of the games we've played during this streak.

    Beating the Fakers is one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.

    Lonzo has actually been slowly improving, I just hope he doesn't embarrass us tonight

    Where did you hear that? I haven't seen anything from Feigen or Berman about it.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Clint Capela is listed as OUT for tonight in the official <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rockets?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc^tfw">#Rockets</a> game notes with a left calf contusion. If accurate, this is different than the heel issue that he missed Saturday with.

    I've wondered if they play like a heavyweight fighter that's just feeling and prodding for a knockout blow. I felt like Trevor's defense in the 4th quarter ignited us more than EGo's threes. All of a sudden we put a lid on the basket and scored a ton of points. Enough that we probably would have won even if EGo doesn't score that 17 points in the 4th quarter. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's just an untested theory.

    Sounds like a made up excuse to rest him. His heel may still be a little sore, but I'll bet they just wanna buy him a few days off. They can get away with it too with Lopez out for the Lakers.
