    Black is terrible. Had as many fouls as points and rebounds combined.

    This.

    I feel bad for Randle.

    I feel ZERO sympathy for the Lakers organization or fans. The Lakers organization have acted like entitled unprofessional jerks ever since Howard left. Eventually they will realize that the yellow jersey doesn't mean a damn thing when your team is loaded with D League level talent.

    Kobe was an ass, and this is nothing new. There has not been a single positive word about him as a human being since he raped a teenage girl in Colorado and paid off his wife with a huge rock on her hand. Lost in all the BS is that Harden absolutely kicked Kobe's butt up and down the court.

    He is fine but the Lakers were mostly a stagnant mess on offense. Harden is typically OK defending his own guy with the ball, it's the kind of constant movement cutting off-ball players (JJ Redick, for one) that causes Harden problems.

    A good sign but let's see how he and the team does against a better opponent.

    Kenny: When you lose 3 guys starting on other teams and tell me you're better, hard to believe. Can't evaluate vs. the Lakers. I don't know if the backcourt has been tested. When you have Beverley, Terry, can these guys cut it together? Then Howard, he'll do well but I'm not believing you can lose 3 guys and be better.

    Chuck: They're not a contender. Teams on top of them are so much better. 6, 7, 8 seed maybe. They're 7th or 8th at best.

    If they don't trust Canaan they need to try to bring in Will Bynum. McHale is going to wear Harden down again.

    Rockets are a 7th and 8th seed at best.

    We lost some starters, I mean Parsons...although one could argue we upgraded there...and I guess Jlin is irreplaceable...although he's now on the Lakers team that they just trashed for having no talent...

    What's up with Randle? I thought he would be good starter coming out of college last year. Did he regress or something? I know he got injured and all, but the minutes he played weren't impressive.

    barkely trashing houston as usual.

    but he may be right.. we lost 3 starting teir players, and we can't honestly say we're a better team. and right now we aren't better than the other top 5-6 teams above us in the west.

    Exactly. You just can't say the Lakers have no talent and then 3 seconds later say the Rockets lost 3 good players while one player is playing on the lakers.

    As usual Chuck and Kenny hating:eek::eek:

    Entertainment purpose only. Would not read too much into those.

    But the team has good stretches and no offense stretches, that is worrisome

    I guess those new glasses didn't come with any foresight, Chuck. Asik was their only legit loss, and they will probably make a move to improve their team before the deadline.
