2017-18 NBA Regular Season Game/Observation Thread

Without Harden the degree of difficulty has gone up considerably. Beard to the locker room with what looks like a hammy injury
Yup, Embedded Celtic Gerald Green ties it with 17 seconds left but Harden is likely done. Lakers with a shot to win it in regulation, let's see if the Rockets can find a stop.
Gerald Green drained a game-tying three with 17 seconds left. Lakers have been slicing and dicing the Houston D though.
He could have done better than a 35 footer. Randle has been hard to stop inside.
The Rockets just dodged a bullet. Hart's throw in was perfect but Nance Jr. couldn't handle it.
As a side note, Hart has a "career" high 19 points tonight. Add him to the list of useful assets the Lakers have to either build around (he is a good rotational scorer/ballhandler) or trade for Wall if/when LeBron and George join.

To OT we go in Houston! Hope they can dial up some answer for Randle in OT.
When you lose your best player and your response is "We'll have to go with the Chris Paul-Eric Gordon backcourt for OT", you have an embarrassment of riches.
His momentum was too far backwards. I think the throw was a little further than they wanted but it was about as good as you could hope for.
This game is pretty entertaining. I know C's fans are rooting for the pick and thus a Laker loss. However to echo what has been said here by multiple posters, the Rockets are just so damn unlikable. Meanwhile, this young Lakers squad is undeniably fun to watch.
I'm glad to see Gerald Green found a team and is contributing, I wish the Celtics had signed him instead of Nader.
Agreed, I feel dirty rooting for the Rockets. If it was anybody other than the Lakers I'd be laughing at their struggle.
I would root for Golden State over this collection of shit bags any day of the week.
Houston losing to our tankathon team twice in a season is good luck anyways, should it come to pass.
Great that the NFL conceded the airwaves tonight, hope it translates to good ratings for this game.
Best part of the schedule is that LA’s ramps up big time while the C’s get their much-earned rest.
Lakers wrap up 2017 sitting dead last in the Western Conference, stoke up the 2018 Draft thread.
CP3 came up huge in both OTs. Sometimes I want to take a peek into the alternate reality where PP agreed to report to Portland and the Celtics got the #3 pick to take Paul. Not live there, just visit and see how things turned out.
This was the first game of 3 in 4 days LA has to play in Minnesota tomorrow night then at home Wednesday against OKC. This game going to 2OT could pay dividends for a while, they don't have two consecutive days off until 1/24-25
Very interesting stretch. They play a lot of games, but their schedule after OKC includes Charlotte, Atlanta, Sacramento, Dallas, and Memphis as 5 of the next 6.
Lou goes for 40, and its time we put that pipe dream to bed.
Clips are not dealing him while being in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Nuanced counterpoint: fuck the Lakers, now, always, and messily.
