I can't find myself to trust this team to win against sub-par teams. We shouldn't even need big nights from our guys, their career averages should be enough to put them away by the 3rd quarter.
Anything less than a beat down of LA is totally unacceptable. A loss is out of the question. Time to suck it up, get serious, and start thumping people.
So far, this hasn't mattered. They struggled against the Knicks and Pelicans and they were both on the 2nd night of their back 2 backs.
The fact that they gave up 137 pts to the Nuggets the other night suggests that their defense may be worse than ours.... maybe?
We must run the Lakers off of the 3 point line, if they get hot they can beat us considering how bad our defense can be.
Kendall already broke the winning steak last night by losing to Nuggets:grin: so he isn't repeating Linsanity
Don't trust them against good teams either. We're 7-8 against the top 10records in the league. Of the wins, 2 were without Iggy. 4 of the losses were blowouts... smh. Rockets can still get things together. Leadership is the biggest factor.

better question: Have we won anything at home against LA teams? Not sure but Toyota Center should be ready for this.
If dwight shows up to play, we'll be fine. he choked last time, but this time he really needs to play like hes been playing
Response Kendall Marshall is a completely different type of BB player than Lin -- good and bad. There is no comparison on and off court. This is just a media hype to make the game more exciting. In all likelihood, Lin will not even play all that many minutes anyway. If anything, it will be Harden vs. Kendall Marshall.
With how they lost to the lakers last time i'd think they're going have a fire under them. If they don't i will be pissed lol
