Jabari Smith Jr. over his last 4 games at power forward:

16.3 PPG
7.3 REBs
2.3 ASTs
60 FG%
50 3P%
72.2 TS%
Overall +25 in these games

I'm hoping the young Chris Bosh clone can do a good job defending superstar LeBron James on Wednesday night.
A young and explosive LeBron James would run circles around his father. Maybe the young kid can tame old LeBron.

It's hard to believe LeBron James is 38 and Jabari Smith Jr. is 20. How does LeBron do it? Hard work. Yes. But what's he taking?

Well, it will probably be Dillon Brooks defending LeBron most of the game but I expect Jabari Smith Jr. to switch on him also.
LeBron James is going to get his anyway. I just want the Rockets to beat the Lakers on Wednesday even if LeBron scores 40.

I had watched LeBron pour in 30 vs. the Heat in that 108-107 loss. The Lakers are 3-4 so they'll be pissed off playing the Rockets.


Lebron on that gud gud Steroids

He's not slowing down at 38 years old. LOL. Dillon Brooks was asked today how he'll defend LeBron.
Dillon Brooks said he's going to lock his ass up. Make him tired. Says he's ready for the game tomorrow.
It's going to be a good game tomorrow. Lakers 3-4. Rockets 3-3. For an early season game it's important.

I just hope the officiating doesn't start giving the Lakers all the calls tomorrow night.

Associated Press: "The Lakers contacted the league office following the loss to Miami, sharing numerous clips showing what the team views as missed foul calls against LeBron James, sources told ESPN."

The Lakers are already calling into the league. I don't know if that's good or bad before tomorrow night's game. LOL.

Lakers get all the calls and still cry like babies. Houston has no chance tomorrow. Adam Silver loves his Lakies and will make it up to them. Also Dillon Brooks about to be Dillon Cooked again.

I hope that's not the case. I'm feeling good about tomorrow night's game! The Rockets will find a way to win. But LeBron James is also showing his frustrations with fans on social media about the lack of foul calls. I'm worried he will get some favorable calls tomorrow night but enough for the Lakers to win?

Also I feel good about Jabari Smith Jr. and his length/athleticism being able to defend LeBron if Dillon Brooks gets frustrated and picks up a technical foul trying to fight LeBron or something crazy like that. Brooks is a loose canon but he plays hard defensively. Interesting is that CJ Stroud will be at the game tomorrow night and he's a huge Lakers fan. But Stroud is going to be wearing a special #7 Houston Rockets jersey as the hometown team honors him.

ESPN Sources: Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray will be likely sidelined for the remainder of the month because of his right hamstring strain.

What? Wow!! The Rockets play the Nuggets three times this month. The Rockets are a poor man's Nuggets team also.
But when you start taking away a Jamal Murray. All of a sudden a poor man isn't so bad. We're about to find out though.

EDIT: Late last season both teams were at full strength and the Rockets beat the Nuggets.
Alperen Sengun (nicknamed Baby Jokic) is always up for the task of playing against Jokic.

Anthony Davis (left adductor spasms) will not play tonight in Houston, sources tell ESPN.

AD probably had seen what Alperen Sengun did in two blowout wins in a row against 3x all-star Domantas Sabonis.

Super excited about this Rockets and Lakers game about to start. An aging LeBron will get his but if the Rockets still win!

Jalen Green is special. If he can just be consistent he'll become a superstar soon.
Too much young talent. The Rockets will be in the NBA Finals once it comes together.
Coach Ime Udoka looks like the real deal. I wasn't sure what to expect. He's good!

Rockets lead 32-18 after the 1st quarrier. LeBron is bullying his way for some easy baskets.
But in the end the Rockets got too much athleticism and talent. Should be okay this game.

Dillon Brooks picked up a foul with 0.2 tenths of a second. What? Long delay in game.
They ended up replaying the end of the 1st quarrier. 32-19 Rockets after the 1st quarter.

It was a three-shot foul also. But the Lakers missed two of the three free throws.

LOL. Dillon Brooks. He plays so hard it hurts sometimes.

Jalen Green! He looked like a young Kobe Bryant with the steal and slam.

Lakers called timeout. Rockets lead 47-29 with 7:28 left until halftime.

The Rockets will be 4-3 with 4 wins in a row if they keep it up. Tari Eason returned tonight. More depth for the Rockets.
