The 2014-15 NBA regular season begins tonight! Basketball is back.
There are two 8pm ET games: Pelicans/Magic and Spurs/Mavericks. And at 10:30pm ET the Lakers face the Rockets. Nobody expects much of the Lakers this season, but as long as Kobe Bryant is healthy and can lace up his sneakers they are going to be of interest. And they did add Carlos Boozer, and rookie Julius Randle. So there’s that.
Here’s the Orange County Register with more on the Lakers/Rockets:
Maybe the 2012-13 feud between Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard feels like ancient history.
But the two former teammates will hit a different kind of milestone Tuesday on the opening night of the NBA’s regular season: It will mark the first time the two have played against each other since Howard spurned the Lakers to sign with the Rockets.
It’s true. While Howard played four games against the Lakers last season, Bryant missed each contest because of injuries.
Howard and Bryant openly bickered in their one season together and after Howard signed with the Rockets, Bryant delivered the ultimate insult imaginable in this tech age.
He unfollowed Howard on Twitter.
