    Well, if he does we'll all celebrate. If he doesn't, it will be considered a young team with growing pains. Either way, we can't really lose.


    So, talk your ish Dillon, talk that ish.

    Dillon should test out if Anthony Davis' hip is fully recovered. Nothing serious just a solid screen.

    The only thing bad about CJ is that he cheers for the Fakers

    Brooks also went on to compliment how well Lebron had been shooting, but I think that’s not part of the tag line the media wants to put.

    Return of the new and improved "Villain"? I hope so.

    Lebron & the Lakers already crying to the refs so I expect soft calls on us tomorrow

    And nobody will care about this obvious rigging because nobody likes the Rockets anyway

    A win would be incredible knowing what to expect from the refs

    It will be a close game but the Rockets will continue the winning streak. This Team will be stronger and stronger! The Effekt of FVV and DB is really impressive over this young Roaster. It makes a lot of more fun to watch this team then last 2 years. Play Inn is really no Problem for this Team but i think they will arrive the Play Offs directly.

    Lets go guys!

    The 3-4 Lakers have won every home game and lost every road game.

    Hope that trend continues tonight.

    LeBron closed the Grizzlies out, embarrassing Dillon in the process, but if Dillon keeps LeBron to the same numbers he had in that playoff series, Rockets probably take the game. Especially if Davis doesn't play.

    You mean all of Landale’s minutes for reserves.

    GO ROCKETS!

    Rox in midseason form.

    Lakers.....up and down.........Rox are the faves in this.

    Rockets are the oldest of the young teams so the excuse does not warrant no more.

    Excited to see how our young team holds together in their matchups with the Lakers.

    When healthy, Anthony Davis is one of the best low-post defenders in the league. I would imagine the Lakers would leave Alpi with an isolated coverage. Davis is also a monster on the glass. If we're looking for a storyline of Alpi's growth, this is a great test.

    To me, the Dillon Brooks vs LeBron showdown is an undercard. They'll both get their shots in. But LeBron will get his whistle tonight (after the extra media scrutiny).

    And the Rockets win if 1) Jalen Green figures out how to stay in front of Austin Reeves and 2) the Rockets get any bench production (Tari Eason, anyone?).

    Lakers have a tendency to play lackadaisical in the regular season--this is a very winnable game if we have the same kind of intensity we did against the Kings. Get it done!

    Tari is projected to play 15 minutes.
    Cant expect too much there for this game.
    Hope Tate and Holiday have good games.
