    are we gonna get lebronto'd? i think every lebron make has been a jumper. even so, we have to make lebron and rondo jump shooters. pressing up on them and giving up drives is not gonna cut it. not sure why we changed from game 1. make this a 3 point contest, and if we lose, we lose.

    JR played too close to Harden. Harden cooked and went right by him.

    Hello Police? Yes, I'd like to report a murder. They said his name was J.R. Yes that's right only his shoes are left here.

    Oh look more Lakers promo in the game break.

    I'm not watching LakersTV am I? FFS

    OMG "24 seconds with me, Alex Caruso"

    Would it kill the NBA to put one Rockets highlight package together? It's our "home game" after all

    "oh you're playing bmac? hold my beer" - Vogel before subbing in JR probably.

    Harden and Westbrook 23 pts
    Green of the bench 7 pts. The rest of the bench needs to step up too. Green has 2 fouls defending LeBron.

    I'd like to see them try and go at Davis and see if we can get his third foul on him

    That PJ Tucker shot rolling inside the cylinder for full 3 circles and then spinning out = Not winning this game.

    The basketball has spoken.

    And for that reason, I am out.

    nobody else on LA outside of AD and Bron is really producing...if we could at least slow them down somewhat, this could be an easy, relaxing dub

    JR smith getting humiliated by Harden only means TNT is going to do some sob story segment about the Caruso injury and how the Lakers are playing injured. Kkkkkkay.

    Lebron has gotten away with two charges. We have to get one of those calls going our way here soon. Aside from that, he's hit some really tough shots, don't see him keeping this up all game.

    I'm really praying JR doesn't get the scrub boost the Rocket got equipped every game.

    I'm being serious here. I think Harden might be our best option on LeBron. He probably has the best cbo of strength and lateral quickness on the team.
