ROCKETS @ LAKERS in "LOGO WATCH" 2014-15 NBA Tip-Off #EverybodyUp...DWIGHT and JAMES add TREVOR to the mix and hope to make a deeeeep run in the West!...LAKERS start the 2014-15 season under former Lakers SG BYRON 'High Socks" SCOTT and @KobeBryant trying to keep his LAKERS afloat in the top-heavy WEST! #HOUvsLAL #RedNation #LAKERnation #NBATipOff 2014 #NBAonTNT

The Los Angeles Lakers do not have any expectations but what they have is a driving force in Nike Basketball's "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant. They lose PG NASHty for the 2014-15 season but they have capable bodies and young bodies.

The Houston Rockets arrive in L.A. to start the 2014-15 season with lofty expectations as they are equipped to make a deeeeep run in the west and finish in that top by the end of the 82-game trek. Can Dwight Howard get back to Mouse Town Magic days and be more dominant in the paint? Will James Harden play "D" as though he is in the Logo at not at the Drew League?

Game Outlook: 

The Rockets will be running and running some more. Yes they will have the Spalding money ball racks out. They also need to make a concerted effort to get Dwight the ball in the half court and run the offense through him. Have the Rockets improved defensively as we will soon find out. Having Trevor Ariza with Patrick Beverley should influence Harden to at least get out in the passing lanes more and check his man. This is a solid Rockets bunch on paper with one of the better 2nd units in the Logo!

The Lakers will most likely go with Jeremy Lin at the point with the Black Mamba riding at the shooting guard slot. Wes Johnson is a solid SF and is Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill formidable enough to hold down the pained area for the Lakers through 82 in 2014-15? That Lakers bench is young but has some nice pieces as Swaggy P will be locked and loaded. Lake Show new lead man Byron Scott took a shot a the Rockets Dwight Howard talking Kobe loves Chips and I don't know of Dwight is interested in Chips. He telling the truth and Mr. Howard is on the clock and has been for quite sometime!
