HOUSTON -- Lakers center Tarik Black on Monday night added his name to a long list of wounded rotation players whose absence is undermining the promise that marked the first few weeks of this season in Los Angeles.Black suffered an ankle sprain in a 107-101 home loss to the Utah Jazz, increasing the number of sidelined rotation players to five for the Lakers (10-13). Relatedly, the Lakers have dropped three consecutive games, four of six and six of eight as they ready for their second meeting with the Rockets on Wednesday night at Toyota Center.When the Lakers topped the Rockets at Staples Center on Oct. 26, it seemed to mark the start of something surprising. But one by one, the Lakers have succumbed to injuries, with Black following guards DAngelo Russell (left knee), Jose Calderon (right hamstring) and Nick Young (calf) and forward Larry Nance Jr. (right knee) to the injured list. The Lakers momentum has suffered in lockstep with the lost bodies.Just continue to play, continue to work, Lakers guard Lou Williams said. Its still early in the season. Weve hit a little turbulence right now and hit a little rough patch. Weve got to have other guys step in and weve got to continue to compete.The Lakers were forced to utilize a patchwork lineup against the Jazz, starting rookie forward Brandon Ingram at point guard. The experimentation was borne out of necessity and strategy, with the Lakers attempting to employ a personnel package capable of switching everything defensively. A similar gambit might be required against the Rockets, whose pick-and-roll proficiency has yielded the third-ranked offense in the NBA.For Ingram, opportunities abound with Russell and Calderon unavailable.Its great for him. Its absolutely great for him, Lakers coach Luke Walton said. To be able to call plays and bring the ball up and play from that position whether he struggles or has a good game, its still great learning opportunities and experience for him.The Rockets (14-7) thought theyd been made whole with the news that the front office had matched the Brooklyn Nets offer sheet for restricted free agent forward-center Donatas Motiejunas, at least until his agent -- former Bulls guard B.J. Armstrong -- declared Tuesday that Motiejunas would not show for his mandatory physical.Assuming that the issue is resolved, Motiejunas provides the Rockets something theyve lacked in his absence: A big who can pass and help facilitate their offense. Motiejunas posted a career-high 12.2 assist rate last season. Currently, second-year forward-center Montrezl Harrell leads all Houston big men with an 8.0 assist rate.Thats where hell fit in, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said. He will move the ball a lot. Most of our guys move it toward the rim, which is good. I like that. Its hard to get into specifics with what he can do because hes not with the team but his role will be a good one. He knows how to play so I cant see why it would be anything but positive.Added Rockets guard James Harden on what Motiejunas brings to the table: His passing. Hes versatile. Hes smart, playmaking. Hes not one-dimensional. Hopefully he can get acclimated in our system and be ready to go.Doug Flutie Womens Jersey .

Robin Harn, the event coordinator of The Big House series, started the tournaments in a small ballroom in the heart of the University of Michigans campus. In order to generate excitement, he convinced two of southern Californias superstar players, Oscar Lovage Nilssons and Johnny s2j Kim, to travel to the Midwest. Their attendance spurred on other top players from Canada, California, and the Midwest to come to the first ever Big House event. In total, 115 players attended the first Big House, which sounds small now, but was amazing five years ago.Fast forward to 2016 and we are at the sixth iteration of The Big House series on Oct. 7-9, which boasts over 1500 entrants for Melee singles and a strong majority of the Melee It On Mes top hundred players. A large part of the growth comes from The Big Houses reputation as a well-run event. Harns priorities have always been to maximize the experience for the players and attendees. Players testify to the great experiences they have at The Big House where Harn scrutinizes every detail to ensure everything runs on time. The growth over time has made The Big House the premier Smash major of the fall season.Momentum and godhoodAs players prepare for The Big House 6, the landscape remains uncertain among the top players. At the last major, Shine 2016, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman won the event over Zachary SFAT Cordoni in rather dominating fashion. Interestingly enough, SFATs goal at the beginning of summer was to win a major and he was within striking distance of achieving it. Many scoffed at his lofty goal, but he turned heads over the summer, defeating Joseph Mango Marquez in three sets and also Juan Hungrybox Debiedma in one set during that span.SFATs recent performances have generated excitement within the community. Other than William Leffen Hjelte, no one has ascended into Melee godhood. Others have come knocking on heavens door only for them to slump shortly after. Yet, in 2016, SFAT and Justin Plup McGrath have risen through the ranks and strengthened their resumes as prime candidates. They have put together strong performances with SFAT finishing in second at Shine 2016 and Plup finishing in third at Evo 2016. They hope to continue their momentum into The Big House 6.Uncertainty at the TopPicking a winner for a major has never been more difficult with big questions surrounding each of the top players. Leffen signed up tentatively for The Big House 6, but his visa issues leave him uncertain on an actual appearance. For the first time in a while, Hungrybox has the overall fiirst seed in the event, meaning that he will not have to face Adam Armada Lindgren or Mango until winners finals.dddddddddddd Although he has the easiest path to winners finals, he has looked shaky in the past two months. His edge guarding and execution were lackluster towards the end of summer. Earlier this year he broke his Evo curse by winning Evo 2016, but he has yet to win a Big House event, finishing in second place three times. Can he break his Big House curse?Armada had a quiet summer by his usual standards, choosing to stay in Europe after Evo 2016. He won Heir 3 in August and Syndicate 2016 in September, but still is untested in his matchups against tougher players. Can he get revenge on Hunrgrybox for Evo 2016? Does he have a solution to Mangos Fox and Marth in a best of five set? Despite these questions, the extended rest may prove beneficial for Armada as he will be in good shape for The Big House 6.For Mango, he has had a solid year despite his inability to close out and win tournaments. He has a winning record on Armada and is catching up to Hungrybox in their head to head records, but the big question is whether he can play consistently for an entire event. At Shine 2016, he lost early to Michael Nintendude Brancato and mustered a solid losers run before losing to SFAT for third place. Mango can go toe-to-toe against anyone, but the issues of consistency remain a costly one. Can Mango make it into the top eight through winners or will he struggle through losers at another major? If 2016 has told us anything, he will need to stay in winners if he wants a chance at his third Big House trophy.Mew2King comes in with the most momentum after winning Shine 2016. His confidence has reached new heights after demolishing his bracket, but he did not have to face Mango or Hungrybox in the bracket. Historically, hes performed poorly against the likes of Hungrybox and Armada, but his positive mindset may be the x-factor in helping him overcome two of his largest thorns. The Big House 3 was where his return of the king moment happened three years ago. Can he pull another to win his second Big House?The Big House has brought some of the most exciting moments in Melee history, including Mangos exciting losers run at The Big House 4 and Mew2Kings return of the king run at The Big House 3. The Melee landscape is more unpredictable than ever as several players can take the entire event. The early stages of pools at The Big House 6 start on Friday and conclude on Sunday.
