    Let’s go! We need to shake off injuries and get back into the groove. Hopefully amen comes in ready to play. Lakers will get calls but got to run some plays because their defense is not great and our defense is about to dip without Jabari.

    Loser! Don't you know that we must let @coachbadlee be first in the game threads, since he is 1-0 when being first!

    Hopefully tari and amen plays. Cam Whitmore needs to show up. He had an awful game after btching for mins.

    Sengun will bounce back no doubt and for green to continue his recent performances.

    We can beat lebum

    If
    If FVV plays off the ball again our starters should outplay the Lakers starters. The bench is going to be the issue even if Tari plays. We are going to miss Jabari way more than people think, but mostly when Amen is not on the floor for rebounding and defense.

    Sengun has to pay to his potential if we’re going to beat them

    Did I miss something outside of Amen’s two game suspension which he has already served? I was curious why I see posts that say “if Amen is back”, “hopefully amen plays”, etc…

    This current era of Rockets have been pretty good against the AD/LeBron Lakers the past few seasons. It's not one of those matchups I fear. Both Sengun and Green seem to have good games against these guys.
