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

[2Quik4UHoes]

Is that what I’m seeing?

two straight fourth quarters where it seems like there are 7 Lakers on the court and The Rockets can’t get a decent look

Nah it was definitely 5 on 5. See the difference tho? GOAT franchise bossed up and got the win. Wasn’t no luck in the come up. Y’all barely
survived the Nuggets if not for some boneheaded shyt from them. You saw hour overrated ass coach on the sideline watching his son get his shyt swatted. That’s how y’all finna look next round if Joker an nem don’t do you like Miami did the Bucks.

LAKERS DBL HARDEN...

HARDEN HITS OPEN MAN...

LAKERS CHASE OPEN MAN OFF THE 3
WHILE A TEAMMATE
ROTATES TO THE PAINT...

ROCKETS PLAYER DRIBBLES INTO
THE MID RANGE AND PASSES
BACK TO THE THREE
JUST TO WATCH THE SAME THING
HAPPEN AGAIN.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
WHAT TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT
THEY MAKE.

THEY GAVE THEM THE 15 FOOTER
AND TOOK AWAY THE 2 SHOTS
THEY WANT TO TAKE EVERYTIME.

​

YALL KNOW HOW THE ROCKETS
USED TO HANDLE THIS TYPE OF DEFENSE?

A LOB TO CAPELA
AFTER DRAWING THE DEFENDER
IN THE PAINT.

​

True. In previous runs, GSW made adjustments after a while but it led to easier kickouts for 3s as a result. The issue is Capella has basically been replaced with Westbrook as the non 3 shooter on the floor, and so everyone has to work harder to break down the defense.

It doesn't help that Russ doesn't go for the right mismatches either.

Folks always bring her up. Doubt she would risk her job. And her uncle passed this week so so that’s the last thing on her mind.

Danny Green missing a wide open lay up again

 

[ALonelyDad]

I feel bad for her

Weirdos love bringing her up when something like this happens in the bubble. They did the same when the stuff with Mitchell happened earlier.

My observations:

1. ...is playoff Rondo real?

2. Bron gets a ton of hate, some of it ridiculous. And while I dont think hes the GOAT, he needs to get his flowers. His fingerprints were all over the game. Those 3 blocks near the end of the 3rd? You could feel bron telling those rockets "ya'll want points on the board? NONE of this shyt gon' be easy" I'm supposed to take harden and Russ over that? One guy who shrinks or gets tired when the lights are brightest and the other guy who looked at film for the first time last night? Nahh...

Lebron is a dude, don't let people tell you otherwise

Harden with another 4th Q stinker, hes kind of like AD where he plays great 1st 3 Qs and then just becomes passive in 4th.
