Houston Rockets Dominate Lakers in Christmas night win Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

It's Christmas Day, and the Lakers, for the 27th straight time, are part of the festivities as their matchup this year is at home vs. the Houston Rockets. And the Lakers right from the start continue their awful efforts on defense, and with the referees holding their whistle (11 free throws as a team), and getting pounded on the boards (HOU 48-25 over LA with 17 of them offensive), led to a Christmas Day letdown for Lakers fans as the team falls to fifth place in the Western Conference witha 119-96 loss to the Rockets. Tune in as the guys share some Xmas thoughts on what happened with the game, lament over how bad the starting lineup's defense truly is, and what comes next for the team as they look to close out 2025 on a stronger note. We wish you a Merry Christmas, as does the NBA, as the Lakers light up the holidays against the Rockets, and we're here to share some season's greetings right here on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!Check out Yaron Weitzman's book, "A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers," which you can buy today on Amazon at https://tinyurl.com/y344ckmjFollow @DripShowshop for some awesome sports or pop culture merchandise!The MVP Race is heating up, and Best League has got it covered on his site https://mvprace.top/ Joe's new game Coreupt is OUT NOW on Steam.

Rockets win big in LA!

LA Clippers vs. Portland Trailblazers NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Clippers vs. Trailblazers Injuries Jones, Paul and Zubac are out for LA. Grant, Henderson, Holiday, Thybulle and Wesley are out for Portland with Murray and Williams questionable. Recent Box Score Key Stats Clippers at Trailblazers 10PM ET—LA improved to 8-21 following their 128-108 home victory against Houston Rockets. Clippers shot 55% with 54% from three. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 41 points with eight rebounds. James Harden delivered 29 points with six assists.

V košarkarski ligi NBA je božični dan rezerviran za najbolj prestižne tekme. Ena izmed petih tekem je bila tudi med Los Angeles Lakers Luka Dončiča in Houston Rockets, ki se je letos poleti okrepil s Kevinom Durantom in in cilja na najvišja mesta in na uspeh v končnici.

Parecía imposible ganar un partido a estos Oklahoma City Thunder. Quién podía pensar en ganarles dos a Shai, Chet, Jalen y compañía. Pero en qué cabeza entra que exista un equipo capaz de arrebatarles tres victorias a este equipo de rango dinástico, defensa histórica y hambre inagotable. Pues... vaya, aquí están los San Antonio Spurs de Wembanyama, Castle, Fox, Harper, y la lista sigue y sigue hasta una profundidad casi inaudita. Vaya día de Navidad nos ha regalado la NBA. Otra hazaña para los texanos, esta con especial morbo y complicación: la de ganar tres partidos seguidos, de tú a tú y con toda Oklahoma volcada en el pabellón de los Thunder para crear un ambiente de Playoffs que se fue diluyendo ante el maravilloso baloncesto desplegado por los de Mitch Johnson. Por si fuera poco, el Madison vivió una remontada que aumenta la esperanza de New York Knicks; los Warriors respiran en casa ante la venida de Cooper Flagg y Klay; los Lakers no tienen aliento ni fuerzas para aguantar el tipo a unos Houston Rockets muy normalitos; y... Jokic, ay, Nikola Jokic. Barbaridad del serbio para finalizar esta jornada tan especial con un partido memorable entre Denver Nuggets y Minnesota Timberwolves, una rivalidad cada vez más pronunciada, aunque por ahora el galardón de ser el enfrentamiento más apetecible pertenezca al vigente campeón y al aspirante con menos complejos y más diamantes en bruto. Mínimo de Veterano es la sitcom de la NBA. El templo de la redonda. Un podcast original de Diario AS. Todos los lunes y jueves, nuevo episodio con Pepe Rodríguez, Toni Vidal y Juanma Rubio. Y a veces se cuela Javier Machicado. Síguenos en todas las plataformas: https://linktr.ee/MinimoDeVeterano.https://linktr.ee/MinimoDeVeterano: https://linktr.ee/MinimoDeVeterano

Merry Christmas! The guys discuss the San Antonio Spurs owning the Oklahoma City Thunder so far this season, Cooper Flagg living up to the hype, Anthony Edwards taking his game to another level, the Houston Rockets struggles in clutch time, Draymond Green's issue with Steve Kerr's tactics, the Cleveland Cavaliers underachieving and more.

Houston Rockets vs. LA Lakers NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Rockets at Lakers Injuries Finney-Smith and VanVleet are out for Houston. Vincent is out with Hachimura and Hayes questionable. Doncic is probable. Recent Box Score Key Stats Rockets at Lakers 8PM ET— Houston fell to 17-10 following their 128-108 road defeat against LA Clippers. Rockets shot 50% with 30% from three. Kevin Durant scored 22 points with five rebounds. Amen Thompson chipped in with 19 points and nine rebounds.

Seth and B-Scott try to figure out just what the heck is wrong with the Rockets on the heels of losing by 20 to the Clippers.

*Recorded on December 23rd, 2025* Does the NBA own Christmas Day? — We're breaking down every single matchup. In this episode of In the Lab on Hoopsology, Justin Goodrum, Matt Thomas, and Alan Muenzler preview the entire NBA Christmas Day slate, rank the games, and discuss the biggest storylines heading into the holiday showcase. We dive into LeBron James' comments about playing on Christmas, the human side of NBA superstars, and whether Christmas Day games still make sense in a world where the NFL continues to expand its holiday footprint. This episode covers: Spurs vs Thunder: Wembanyama vs SGA in the marquee matchup Nuggets vs Timberwolves: Jokic vs Anthony Edwards rivalry Lakers vs Rockets: Luka, LeBron, and Houston's rising core Cavaliers vs Knicks: Pressure mounting in the East Mavericks vs Warriors: Steph Curry, Draymond drama, and team futures We also debate: Which Christmas Day game is the must-watch Which teams are legit contenders vs fool's gold The future of NBA Christmas games and ratings How young stars are reshaping the league

The Lakers finish off the current road trip before Christmas with a return to Phoenix as they face off against a revenge-minded Suns team for what happened in a Lakers win nine days earlier. But the Lakers' problems on defense continued as a returning Austin Reaves (17 points) picked up four quick fouls in the first half, and the rest of the team (sans Luka, Rui, and Gabe), including LeBron James (23 points) gained little success in defending the Suns as they quickly pulled ahead and never looked back as they cruised to a 132-108 victory over the Lakers. Tune in as the guys share some holiday thoughts on the game and look ahead to the Christmas Day matchup against the Houston Rockets.

Hosted by Grant Mona, this special Christmas edition of The Sporting Tribune Today captures two very different locker-room moods on a holiday night in Los Angeles sports. Segment One — Lakers Left Cold in Phoenix:Grant opens the show with postgame reaction from JJ Redick, LeBron James, and Lakers players following their blowout loss in Phoenix. The tone is blunt and reflective as Redick and the players address defensive breakdowns, energy issues, and what went wrong on a night that quickly slipped away. It's a sobering conversation as the Lakers try to regroup during the holiday stretch. Segment Two — Clippers Bring the Holiday Joy:The mood flips in segment two as Tyronn Lue and Clippers players speak after their blowout win over the Houston Rockets. Confidence, relief, and urgency define the postgame comments as the Clippers discuss execution, ball movement, and finally putting together a complete performance.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Christmas Day. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers deliver a comprehensive NBA Christmas Day betting and power ratings breakdown, framing Christmas as the unofficial start of the NBA season for casual fans and one of the most important betting slates of the year for serious players. Munaf opens by welcoming listeners and outlining the five game slate, while Rivers immediately sets the tone by pointing out how dominant the Oklahoma City Thunder have been, noting their historic efficiency and plus seventeen adjusted net rating, while also stressing that the league still has parity beneath the surface. The discussion moves into updated power ratings, beginning with the San Antonio Spurs ranked fifth. Rivers explains that the Spurs' success is driven by guard depth with Dylan Harper, Stefan Castle, and De'Aaron Fox, along with Victor Wembanyama embracing team oriented basketball rather than chasing individual scoring. Munaf adds important context, highlighting that San Antonio is twenty one and seven, second in the Western Conference, and undefeated at seven and zero in their division, which signals consistency and versatility. The New York Knicks are ranked fourth, with Rivers noting a clear gap between them and the teams below. Munaf explains how the coaching change has helped manage minutes more effectively, reducing wear on starters like Jalen Brunson while getting meaningful contributions from the bench, which has stabilized the team. The Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets occupy the next tier, with Rivers tying them closely. Munaf leans Denver as the stronger team due to championship pedigree, Jamal Murray's high level play, Nikola Jokic's dominance, and an impressive twelve and two road record, while also pointing out Houston's struggles in clutch situations, including a one and four overtime record. Oklahoma City is unanimously ranked number one at twenty six and three, with the league's top defense and a plus fifteen point seven net rating. Rivers praises their consistency but cautions against labeling them an all time team, noting that reintegrating injured players does not automatically make a team better. The conversation then shifts to the Christmas Day games, starting with Cavaliers versus Knicks. Both hosts favor New York minus five and a half, citing Cleveland injuries, poor on off numbers with Darius Garland, and a recent defensive rating of one hundred twenty one point seven over the last five games. Spurs versus Thunder is framed as a revenge spot for Oklahoma City, with Munaf preferring the Thunder early in the game due to coaching adjustments and Victor Wembanyama being limited to around twenty to twenty five minutes. Mavericks versus Warriors leads Rivers to the under at two hundred twenty seven and a half because of Dallas offensive inefficiency and Golden State's declining overall impact despite star names, while Munaf highlights Anthony Davis' rebounding consistency as a potential prop angle. The best bet of the day comes in Rockets versus Lakers, where Rivers backs Houston minus four and a half, arguing the Lakers' record overstates their true level and that Houston's youth, defense, and depth give them a clear edge, especially if Luka is limited. Munaf agrees, emphasizing Houston's ability to exploit the Lakers defensively. The slate closes with Timberwolves versus Nuggets, where both lean under two hundred thirty seven and a half due to Minnesota's recent top tier defense and Denver's slower pace. The episode ends with holiday well wishes and encouragement to enjoy the games responsibly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn and Danny Bailey react to the Denver Nuggets loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday afternoon. Durant and Sheppard led the way for Houston, and Denver's inability to get into a shooting rhythm proved costly. The Nuggets are now 8-5 at Ball Arena this season.

Brandon Scott reacts to the Houston Rockets' 115-101 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Kevin Durant had 31 points on 14 shots and talked a lot of trash to the Nuggets. But it was Reed Sheppard's 28 points on 15 shots off the bench that stood out just as much. Sheppard's six assists, three steals and two blocks had an incredible impact on the game. What was clear from it is that he's the Rockets' best point guard on the team right now.

Seth and Sean discuss Rockets C Steven Adams' crazy eating habits as he described them on the The Young Man and the Three Podcast.

Nate and Danny tackle Western Conference mailbag questions from the Dallas Mavericks through the LA Lakers, digging into star-trade calculus, emerging young players, and which contenders really scare OKC and Denver.Dallas Mavericks — 0:55Is Max Christie's 65% true shooting for real, and if/when his shooting regresses, can he still be a starter on a championship team?How should Dallas value and time a potential Anthony Davis trade—what kind of package is “enough,” how much does the extension/player option risk matter, and is it better to move him now or wait?Given their place in the standings and draft-lottery odds, how low can Dallas realistically fall in the West, and how much does that affect the urgency to trade Davis?Would a Trae Young–for–Anthony Davis swap make sense for either the Mavericks or the Hawks in terms of fit and direction?How does the Derek Lively–Cason Wallace–Dāvis Bertāns draft-night trade look 2.5 years later for both Dallas and OKC, and which side would you rather be on now?Denver Nuggets — 17:57How has Peyton Watson grown offensively, and is he finally ready to be a reliable playoff-rotation player?Why is Zeke Nnaji still getting minutes over DaRon Holmes—are the Nuggets trying to pump up Nnaji's trade value, or do they genuinely see him as the better fit?What are Denver's best and worst potential playoff matchups in the first two rounds (with OKC assumed as the 1-seed and off the board)?Golden State Warriors — 28:40As in so many recent seasons, the Warriors hit mid-December around .500—what's the single biggest factor that can actually turn their season around?Is there any realistic “retool” path where Golden State trades some of the youth to become a legitimate threat again in games where Steph drops 40+ (e.g., moving Pods/Kuminga plus picks for a real starter)?Is the fan criticism of Brandin Podziemski this year justified—how good is he actually and what are his limitations?How much faith should we have in the Warriors' front office to build another contender post-Steph based on their track record?What's the most likely resolution with Jonathan Kuminga—do the Warriors still see him as a core piece, or is he basically just flotsam matching salary at this point?With Steph still playing at an elite level but the team stuck in the middle, are the Warriors really in an intractable “can't blow it up / can't contend” quandary, or is the path forward actually straightforward?Houston Rockets — 44:17If Giannis becomes available, should the Rockets not go after him this season because of OKC's dominance and instead wait to add another star later, or is this exactly the kind of opportunity you must seize?How much better would Giannis actually make Houston in the next 2–3 years compared with just riding out growth with Alperen Şengün and the current core—and is a Şengün-for-Giannis framework ever worth it?Is a core trio of Amen Thompson–Şengün–Giannis really viable given their combined limitations, and if so, who becomes the odd man out long-term?Is Reed Sheppard being misused when he's just parked in the corner while others run the offense—are the Rockets wasting his on-ball skills by treating him like a pure 3-and-D guard?Including possible trades, who is the bigger playoff threat to the Thunder this year: the Spurs or the Rockets?LA Clippers — 53:52Do the Clippers' struggles this season help them at all when the league decides Kawhi Leonard's punishment, or is that totally irrelevant to discipline?How much of the Clippers' disaster season is real underlying weakness versus bad clutch luck and opponent shooting luck (teams bombing threes against them)?What is the most likely course of action for the Clippers at the trade deadline—could they or should they do any kind of “firesale” given they owe so many picks?In hindsight, did the Clippers have the worst offseason—essentially gifting Miami an All-Star-caliber Norman Powell while signing a washed Brook Lopez—and how badly did that set them back?What are the realistic odds the Clippers can claw back to the 10th seed and at least mildly salvage their season?LA Lakers — 1:04:21The Lakers' record is great but their net rating is mediocre—what are their biggest weaknesses or needs, and do they actually play well enough consistently to reach the West finals or NBA Finals?In the MVP discussion, did you underrate Luka Doncic compared with Giannis—if you swapped their team contexts (Luka on the Bucks, Giannis on the Lakers/Mavs), how would that affect their cases, especially when you account for defense?With LeBron driving less and spending more time on the perimeter, would the Lakers' offense be better if they used him more in the post/elbow or as a handoff hub instead of having him just initiate from outside?
