    This will be true if Mchale was there. I do agree with the owner part.

    I hope not. I don't want them landing a top three pick. I want them to suck just enough to be stuck in the bottom one third of the league - forever.

    Cruise control no effort and show up till the last quarter. This team can't keep a lead if it was the worse team. If we lose this board is going to explode with lof and moh.

    So serious that Kobe signed a 2year/49million deal, when he was injured. If he took less money, who knows how many star player the Lakers could have surrounded him with. The only way Kobe would have won championships now was if they kept Howard and used him to draw in free agents. No one wants to play with a aged Kobe making 25 million a year.

    LA is going to have an extremely hard time putting up points here......And take the Rockets coming out of the gate hard....whoever they're playing. They just don't know how good we are yet.

    Rockets in a rout.

    Harden vs Kobe should be a good match up

    There is no way in hell we can lose this one, look at their front court.... Dwight is going to destroy them.

    Bev is going to kill Lin is not going to be pretty to watch. Best on ball defender vs the worse ball handling PG in the league. This is going to be brutal.

    Howard going 40pts and Bev going 12 steals. Book it!

    Except, well, Trevor Ariza, this isn't Chandler where Harden gets the job half the time

    Care to bet? 100 bucks they won't. Get a trusted middle man. Put your money where your mouth is.

    howard will probably get nervous on the line and go less than 50%. therefore hes' not getting 40. I could see 22 out of him and 23-28 our of harden

    Our starters can beat them hard, no one can defend Howard, no one can slow down Harden, they dont even have an above average defense player, they have no backup pg.
    Canaan can simply lit them up

    I wish the best for Lin. I think he is a class act and handled himself well here.
    I"m sure everyone was hoping 'Lin-sanity' would break out again, but he wasn't the same after the knee injury.

    I wish him well, just not against the Rockets... lol

    Kobe might play the post a lot which is what Hardens good at defending. Hopefully Harden can keep up with old Kobe.

    Yeah, actually Jordan Hill ranked #37 in PER last season, just above Pau Gasol, David Lee, T. Jones, Chris Bosh, Tony Parker. . . .

    http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/year/2014

    In Estimated Wins Added he's ranked 77: not too bad.

    I didn't know his stats looked that good.

    Byron Scott might have Kobe play SF if he has Lin on the court at the same time.

    Yeah, Lin is not going to have a good game. I'd say it's not because of bev, but dwight. He simply cannot play well against elite shot blockers (this coming from a guy who still wants him to do well)

    Gonna be an easy win most likely for the Rockets, tho how Kobe performs will be a big question mark.

    A little nervous about this not gonna lie. Hopefully it doesn't end up like the clippers vs Lakers game last year
