Don't forget to read through the CL Guidelines concerning personal attacks and swearing.

well we'll probably kill them. then lose the next game in an embarrassing fashion.

I think we'll lose this one, win @ NOH, then lose by 25 to OKC.

Yeah, Houston has been playing a lot better as of late. Won't be surprised if they ran us out of the building from the get-go.

Then again, if we actually played with a "sense of urgency," we might actually win. Coincidence?

I don't know what to expect. I'll say Lakers bounce back and win by 6 in a competitive game...

We seem to be winning every other game now, so I'll say we win this one.

A Sweep.....

For who I don't know however......

loss. this team's been awful on defense of late, and houston's been on fire on offense. could get ugly early, and if it doesn't, i imagine it will be ugly late.

if houston has been watching tape, they'll break down the d with pick and rolls and look for either howard's man for the dunk (because nobody helps the helper on this team) or kobe's man for the three (because kobe's man has been open for three for several years now).

down by 12....we cant defend, we cant hold their PnR, and Harden will score 35p with 22 lakers TO....its sad to say this but this is reality in this moment, to have a team like this and to say these things but this is true, unfortunately

Jamison for 20 today since Pau is not playing.

Easy win. Worry about the next game guys.

so unpredictable. I just hope that we can somehow get OVER .500 and stay there. Is that too much to ask?

I bet you thought this about the orlando game too huh. lol

loss. they'll out play us and play with more intensity. somehow these professional athletes come out and play hard for 48 mins of their day. cant our D will be bad and chances are kobe will just play hero ball after the first 5 mins. harden will go to the line a lot and hack-a-howard will be in full effect if the game is close which is wont be, in their favor

hope to see meeks more with kobe but i doubt it bc then that would mean mwp isnt in and that means kobe is on harden.

i would like to see a meeks/kobe/mwp/jamison/howard lineup as kobe plays the point anyways facilitating and that will have meeks on lin and mwp on harden leaving kobe to do work and dish to many 3 point shooters if not dwight in the paint

Houston (8-8) is averaging 113.0 points and shooting 49.9 percent – including 45.5 percent from 3-point range - during its home winning streak. All five starters have reached double figures in the last three at the Toyota Center, with the team totaling 78 assists during this stretch.

We should see a little Clark tonight too. Interested to see how he runs the floor and defends. Hope Duhon and Kobe and find him on a few slashes.

So what's the deal with Dave Miller? is he done?

Gigantic win. Jamison for 25.

NICE D!!!

nice start from kobe and pump fake by duhon...

Let's hope the winning Laker team is on the floor tonight.

omg i am taking back what i said about kobe...horrible 2 shots in the row...
he is forcing to much so far...

Joey Crawford reffing the game makes me think we'll lose, but I think we'll play a great game tonight. The pieces out there tonight fit & we're not playing a team with much star power. Should be a big win.
