    You know the media was ready for their “LeBron vs the world” storyline tonight, and rightfully so… before Durant was listed out.

    we are now missing Durant FVV, and Adam’s,..

    Luka + Reeves
    Durant + FVV + Adam’s

    id say it’s pretty equal in that department

    don’t give a damn that KD is out, the Lakers are still just 41 y/o Lebron and a bunch of nobodies so there’s no excuses

    If we somehow win he will definitely not play Tuesday. You just can't get serious about anything Houston sports without some BS...

    Rockets are down two of their top starters and their main bench player. LA has no excuse for losing.

    Only thing worse with Durant being out is if Bronny scores on us.
