Lakers Boss Makes ‘Nightmare’ Claim Ahead Of LeBron James Showdown

James Harden may be a nightmare for LeBron James and his teammates as noted by Lakers head coach Luke Walton.

The Houston Rockets star averaged 37 points per contest against Los Angeles last year, and is considered a dangerous opponent in tonight’s game.

The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to keep winning games. The team takes the fifth position in the Western Conference, and their 17-10 record is not bad at all.The Rockets had a completely different tune this season. they are at 14^thspot with just 12 wins.

However, Walton is still concerned about the team and Harden.

“The way the rules are now, you can’t touch anybody. Harden is as skilled as anybody in our league offensively. He’s a brilliant shooter.His go-to moves are shots you normally want people taking, step-back fadeaways. You got to get all over him to take that away. When he drives, it’s natural to get physical with somebody. He’s a nightmare matchup for any team.”

“We have to be disciplined. We got to keep him off the foul line. You’re first job is to get him of the three-point line. From there, don’t foul him. Then, we can have our team defense help from that point.”

Harden had a huge message for his team after their win over the Portland Trail Blazers. “It’s big time for us,” he said.

“Finally back at home and seemed like we were playing well. I think other than that Utah game,we’ve been playing, putting some really good quarters together. But tonight was a four quarter game and we had to just build around it.”

The Lakers are in the middle of all events these days as they are related to every trade rumor. The team is trying to land another major star, and several players have been included in the talks.
