    They probably glad they missed.

    Nobody wants to go OT in last game of the preseason. :)

    Whats more interesting is that the Kings didn't have Cousins on the floor.

    Preseason, dude. It's random who is on the floor and who isn't.

    This was a high casually game. Ronnie Price with the knee. Rudy Gay got elbowed in the face. Ellington and McLemore heads colliding. Why risk Boogie joining that list?

    boogie getting hit in the head might actually make something right in there

    Boogie getting hit in the head likely leads to him retaliating and getting suspended 25 games.

    Same old sorry Lakers. Can't protect the rim and box out opponents.

    hate to say it but when Lin was on the bench, lakers looked terrible... like a lottery team. When he was in they looked halfway decent, like pretty good considering it was like the D team (no kobe, no henry, no kelly, no swaggy p, no boozer).

    Why do you "hate to say it?" Lol. Hate the Lakers if you want. I don't really know what Lin did to you or the Rockets that you hate to say he played well

    What's more clutch than tripping on your own teammate and laying on the floor waiting for the action to finish?

    Lin got pushed by NO 33 whoever that is.
    Anyhow, why did the Kings act like they've won the final or something? :confused:

    laker's front line is so bad. 2 bigs can't get a rebound in clutch time and they let a midget a offensive rebound lol

    It was Reggie Evans who had the slight push, but I think the trip caused most of the damage. Ray McCallum was Jeremy's man to box out. As for the Kings, let them have their victories, haha

    If you can ignore the Lin curse eliminating his teammates, I'd say he had a very solid game. He demonstrated improved decision making and a (much) better ability to change speeds. This is a great situation for a guy going into his contract year.

    Man. Gonna be a crazy first game of the season.

    Sooooo much bad blood between Houston n Lakers. Dwight n LA, Lin n... houston.

    Plus Bev and Lin will be going head to fricking head.

    This matchup will finally end the endless debate on whether Bev or Lin is better. lin's offense vs Bev's defense.

    Lin knows all Bev's weaknesses. Bev knows all of Lin's weaknesses. What a crazy matchup. Plus their games are so directly against one another.

    In fact, the whole Houston Rockets organization from Morey to Mchale is going to have a lot riding on Lin having a bad game. If Lin comes out and drops 30/10 it'll make Houston look like idiots. And it will make McHale and Houston look like a PG killing location.

    Crazy. I'm having trouble thinking of a more personal grudge match game. This is some soap opera stuff.
