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

espn really putting jorge sedano in the forefront huh

Why is ESPN’s halftime trash compared to TNT?

On TNT they’ll have a whole segment that lasts more than the 2 minute piece ESPN has before a commercial break.

I’m not even gonna cap, if the Lakers continue to trap Harden, and Westbrook can capitalize + shooters can make their shots, the Rockets can win this series outright. It actually feels like the Rockets should be up double digits with some of the wide open threes they've missed and some of the downright egregious turnovers they've had. Turnovers are going to be the death of this Rockets team.

Not having to deal with Lu Dort is a breath of fresh air for James Harden. The choker narrative is cool and all but LA doesn’t even have a legit body to throw at Harden. He's just getting whatever he wants.

AD is going to need to average 30+ for the Lakers to win this series and they definitely need Playoff Bron to show up. The Lakers as a whole don't have enough offensively if the Rockets offense is clicking which it seems as tho it will be given the lack of ability to slow down Harden. This could actually be Harden's career defining series. The Lakers have a severe math problem to overcome with the sheer volume of 3s that the Rockets take.

Lakers and the 76ers are built very similar. They just have Anthony Davis and Lebron instead of Ben and Embiid. They both have a bunch of bigs and shytty guards. If there’s anything we could have learned from this season and restart it’s that guard play >>>> bigs

Honestly, I’m getting real 2003 lakers vibes. It was just Kobe, Shaq and a bunch of old washed guys and the Spurs upset them in the 2nd round.

TNT not beholden to selling Disney products

OKC was way more physical with Harden and the Rockets in general.

Lakers aren’t going to win unless they play big and slow. There’s no shot blocking for HOU.

Okc was physical but they also got the refs bias. Refs swallowed their whistles when the rockets had the ball and call every foul In The book for Okc.

Their young guys can defend though

Waiters needs to get burn this series.

A majority of the time when I see Danny Green, he’s either missing shots or getting beaten on a drive lol.

He was also terrible last year, almost cost raptors game 6 vs gsw when he threw the ball away in a one possession game

 

[UpAndComing]

OKC controlled the pace vs Rockets and made the game ugly, we are trying to do AAU runs with them, smh

Another reason why CP Gawd is a Top 5 point guard of all time

This game has been kinda boring.

That's most Rockets games. There's not a lot enjoyable about watching one player dribble the air out of the ball on every possession, flailing for fouls while him and his teammates take 50 or so threes a game. Harden is extremely talented but their games aren't particularly fun to watch.

Green still living off that one NBA finals with the Spurs where breh was on some Curry shyt
