AD expects to play vs. Houston
Davis has played every game this season, averaging 37 minutes per gm.

AD is having a great season on both ends of the floor while averaging 26 PPG., 13 RPG, 3.7 BPG.

Just going to watch the games with no expectations for now. I can't take the stress anymore. My basketball feelings are dead. I'm going to treat this like the beginning of a new rebuild.

Not sure we match up very well with them in our current injured state, particularly if AD isn’t himself. Hoping for the best.

Yep, that’s the way to go, was just thinking the same and came here to post it when I saw yours. The expectations could change…up or down…it’s still early. For now though, I’ve relinquished any thought that we could be an elite team based not just on wins/losses but how we’ve looked.

The Lakers still have trouble making even the most basic decisions to close games, down double digits to start the game or 3rd quarter in all but one game points to either ineffective coaching game plan to start or adjustments at the half, LBJ looks great to put us in position to win but still significantly contributing to a loss with turnovers and/or missed FTs, AD fragility like clockwork, poor 3pt shooting, and giving up too many 2nd chance points.

That’s just too many short comings at the moment to have faith in the team. I’ll just watch to see what they’ll do instead of expecting them to win.

easy pickens. Rox are still trying to figure each other out. Coming off of an L should be added motivation.

The concern here is Houston’s size while we are still so banged up. Theyve got Sengun, Smith Jr, Brooks, Whitmore, Landale, Eason, Thompson. We’ve got LeBron, Reddish, Wood, and an AD question mark. I’m sure they’ll be motivated but I’m not sure they have the horses.

We lose this one and it's time to bring in D'Antoni. JK, but Ham SHOULD be on the hot seat.

The Rockets have been a headache ever since they got Sengun, now they are much more Improved with the addition of Brooks and FVV

Yep I always forget they acquired Brooks and FVV...

Hmmm. It's hard to say because I've seen them start strong but then fizzle in the second half, but they apparently just kicked the crap out of the Kings twice (I watched the first one but I see they did it again yesterday lol)

Rui Hachimura is listed as probable for Wednesday’s game in Houston. Anthony Davis and Jaxson Hayes are both questionable.

Yeah they're drawing up the plans to make a big move in a couple of months. Sadly we lost the magic we had at the end of last season.

Rockets are playing good ball lately demolishing the Kings back to back during their 3 game win streak. I wouldn't be surprised if we lost this game.

The Lakers don’t even need to guard him. They beat Memphis by leaving him wide open to miss shots.

Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura back on the court for shootaround in Houston.

Anthony Davis said his hip feels better and plans on getting more treatment this afternoon to make a decision.
