Huge game Laker fam!
Must win for us. A loss would be disastrous.

We pretty much have to go 4-1 over the last 5 games to be in either the 6th position, or 7th and have home court for the play in.

HOU would love nothing more than to spoil our season. Cannot let that happen.

Control the boards and the paint and limit turnovers.

Let's go Lakers!!! :clap:

We got to get this one. Very important and very tricky and difficult for this team to beat Houston for some reason.

We need a miracle tonite. Cross your fingers.

Disciplined rebounding and team defense like last game will do it.

We owe these chumps a fat beat down. Got 3 games in 4 days coming up. No messing around with this team. Put them away early so you can rest your stars.

NO INJURIES PLEASE!

Houston is a kind of sleeper team. They lose more often than not, but they did recently knock off Boston and LAL back-to-back.

You're right.
They are young, talented, and hungry.

Can't sleep on them at all.

Good news is MIN lost to POR at home and Utah also just lost to the Nets.

We need Dallas to lose to ATL and for us to win to make this a great day!

Not that I'm score-board watching but Dallas is down 8 after the 1st Q.

I'm more concerned about positioning between clips and gsw for that coveted 6th spot, than about anyone behind us.

I way prefer 6th for the better route through the playoffs and have either a clips or gsw throw down w Phoenix....so it may call for a loss or two during this next stretch.

Great start for us.

Fans are cheering Laker bucket as loudly as Rocket buckets.

I love this team.
I wish they could be together for an entire season.
Bring 'em all back Rob!

AD with 20 first half point so far.

MAMBAEMD · Post #16 » by **MAMBAEMD** » Mon Apr 3, 2023 12:02 am

Lakers a bit careless here to close out the first half, letting the Rockets back in the game.

MAMBAEMD · Post #17 » by **MAMBAEMD** » Mon Apr 3, 2023 12:36 am

Beasley and Rui with two big buckets.
