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

[AJtheOne]

Rockets may have tapped out

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Literally nobody in the league can stay in front of Austin Rivers but it doesn't matter because he's such a terrible finisher

 

[DoubleJ13]

Knew the Rockets weren't going to sneak up on the Lakers when it took them 7 to get by the Thunder who played like shyt outside 2 games

They got the 1 fill out game

 

[L. Deezy]

Harden man..lol

Sheesh

I expect them to come out trying too hard in the second half. They better mortgage the house for Giannis or something.

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Is PJ Tucker ever happy?

 

[DrexlersFade]

Welp. Looks like Harden wants to go home soon

What else is new

@Tha_Mac

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Harden looks like he’s checked out. Probably wants to go back to his Strip Club at Home.

 

[CHICAGO]

HOUSE CAN ACTUALLY FINISH
AT THE RIM WHEN CHASED
OFF THE THREE

THEYVE MISSED HIM BADLY.

​

 

[DrexlersFade]

Small ball is officially dead

 

[Antdrewjosh]

He's 1-7, lol @ saying its not up for your best player to turn up. In playoffs you depend on your stars because your role players will not always show up

He is averaging how many points in this series?? Not comparing him to Mike or kobe or Bron. But the difference is those guys had consistent help. The other Rockets are getting open shots and not hitting them. That's how you loosen up the defense. Not by harden forcing against double teams

 

[CarbonBraddock]

I’m at the mall, didn’t think the game started til 6 they’re at halftime wtf..?

it started at 6 where i am

 

[Adebisi_Said]

they p*ssy. shoulda gone head to head with the NFL on ABC

But what time will they air Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals this Sunday?

LA will most likely finish off Denver tomorrow night.

 

[Adebisi_Said]

He looks at peace. Good for him.

lol this is not true..also this is whats wrong with just bringing up numbers..if you want to bring up numbers, bring up his 4th Q numbers where he turns into a passer only and does not play like he should.


Also this roster is Harden's fault, the whole system is built around him. Those guys played in Phil's system and sacrificed stats to win. Harden not doing that

 

[UpAndComing]

To be fair. He was originally a 6’3 PG who grew into a PF in one year and I don’t think he ever fully adapted to being a big man. His instincts is still very 6’2-6’4-ish. It helped in the beginning to be a big man with traits of a small guard but it’s gotten to a point where he needs to fully embraces banging in the post (pause)

You right, it'll be to his detriment because just by being that tall, it destroys his lateral quickness to play like a guard

The crazy thing is that he doesn't need to go full on bang in the paint center like Shaq/Dwight Howard/Embiid. He needs to study Kevin Garnett's game. He'll be 10x more effective if he follows that path
