WHAT HAPPENS TO A ROCKET WHEN IT LANDS IN A LAKE?: LAKERS VS ROCKETS 2ND ROUND PLAYOFF SERIES THREAD

[who_better_than_me]

Lakers can beat and blowout Rockets in 5 games if they make a simple adjustment and play straight man on man and dont leave Rockets players open, cause NONE of em can create their own shot besides Russ and he fukkin up, like I said I miss Rasheed Wallace....that nikka would have been in a back line of defense hollering "STRAIGHT UP, make their bums earn they shyt" I am never a believer in leaving nobody open for a shot, I wouldn't even leave Shaq open for 3

Stop it, I guess you know something 29 other coaches don’t. If it was as simple as you say then Houston would be a lottery team. You may think he’s overrated or a gimmick player but Harden will slice and dice up any defense if it’s straight man to man. Even Dort wasn’t straight man to man, he had help behind him. There’s nobody on the Lakers team that can stay in front of Harden, let alone make like hard for him

when you consider this and his post up ability....D'antoni is limiting just how great he could be on the offensive end

Real shyt I forgot he could post Dantone gotta get the fukk outta here Harden can be so much more

Man to man is what got them blown out in the first game. That hybrid zone they had worked well most of the game. They were able to disrupt the passing lanes alot better with the game 2 strategy. They just need to pick one player like Westbrook or someone like Covington that they don’t mind rotating late on and keep the rest of the defense set.

fukk it, imma just assume the lakers are gonna lose their first game every round.

No reason for Russ to be having 7 three attempts. Terrible game and terrible coaching from DAN TONEY

Lebron been tracking him all series long....he’s scared to go to the rim

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

almost thought this nikka was dressed up like a inmate

Nice. Westbrook going for 30 next game.

Didn’t Bron punch his shyt into the digital crowd late in the 4th?

 

[MikelArteta]

Russ ain’t the challenge; you either let Harden torch you with a 40-50 point triple double, or you live with those role players hitting/missing their shots

Box and 1

These dumb ass coli dudes would probably think Shaq shooting threes is the way to go, analytically.

As dominant as Shaq was, they would say some stupid shyt like "Shaq HAS to develop a 3 pt shot"


Russ bread & butter is midrange on in. There have been many threes he missed where he could dribble 5 ft closer for a midrange pull up.

But the more threes you shoot, the better, they say

30 shots?

They gave up 22 3's

Kind of like how y'all forget this nikka quit during the playoffs...

That was a pro Black decision, can’t be helping the Cacericks in the playoffs
