    Critical game. First to salvage this homestand. A 1-4 record would be disastrous. Second, because the Lakers have risen all the way to 4th in the West and a win by the Rockets would push them 3 games back. Third, because a brutal stretch is coming up. To get this game with the Wizards up next would give them a bit of a cushion as the competition gets much tougher after that.

    BTW, LeBron and AD are listed as game-time decisions(it is the Lakers' 3rd in 4th nights), so it's possible they'll be shorthanded.

    We are going into the game as the second seed of the west

    Also, the mediocre teams beating us do not have a good time later. Look at wolves, heat

    Lakers should be scared

    Tonight’s dinner is a tomahawk from Australia washed down with hot wine at one of my favorites in Tianjin, Ancient Deer.

    Yeah defense has been his weakness but on our team that can be hidden some and I think Ime would bring the most out of him. Sucks Reed has been a ghost but that’s the way the ball bounces some times.

    Yes. The infamous Jazzercise veteran's day performance if I'm not mistaken. A true halftime classic!
