ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 11/8/2023

Or is it going to be Rui Davismura.

 

Or were they just short hook ups and couple one nighters (stands).

 

I'm expecting a ****load of bad calls our way. Hopefully a healthy Tari can offset some of that bs coming our way.

 

First Play in tournament game, right?

The Rox defensive energy shocks the Lakers and the Rockets win easily.

Hobbled and old guys are the most susceptible.

 

We're going to get some serious national attention if we beat the Lakers to improve to over .500. It's been so nice to hear the Rockets discussed in a positive light. Let's go!!!

 

Couldnt agree more and I want it to continue.

 

I just want them to beat the Lakers...is it too much to ask for a 4 game streak??

 

A win tonight would be huge. Let's go Rox!!!

 

Unfortunately, the ref got this and it's going to be a close win.

 

Houston Rockets' Jabari Smith Jr. 'More Ready' for Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers: 3 Things to Watch
Jabari Smith Jr. took Davis' scoring eruption personally. After the game, he stated the next time he goes up against the eight-time All-Star, "he'll be ready." Seven months later, Smith will get his chance at redemption.

"I'm a lot older, a lot stronger, a lot smarter, a lot more games under my belt," Smith said. "Learning new philosophies and new techniques to guard the post and bigger people. I know more and feel more ready."

Not the NBA but you will get the result in more than 8 hours.

 

Hell yea, 4 in a row!!!! Let's go!!!!

 

I'm not sure about this. It's never good when you see a mob of white men wielding torches.

 

Rui Hachimura can go “head to head” with Jock Landale in the post-concussion matchup of the season

 

Do you mean the in season tournament game? If so, this is not it. Our first in season tournament game is against the Pelicans on Friday.

 

Can he take Jalen Green's spot in the rotation?

Obviously that isn't happening, but I would love to see Sengun, Jabari, Tate, Brooks, & VanVleet getting the bulk of the minutes as they are our best 5 right now, and have Eason being the primary sub.
