First off, huge thanks to Jeremy for stepping in for me on the Celtics preview. That was awesome of him. Plus he was right about a lot of things, including it being a close win. I might have to start watching my back.
I’m sure a few of you have marked this game as a “revenge game.” The Rockets dropped their opening game in Los Angeles to these Lakers. Despite holding the lead for much of the night, jumpers stopped falling for the good guys and LA just decided that missing wasn’t their bag.
The Lakers are coming into town on a 3-game losing streak after starting the season blazing hot.
