Kuzma with a -21

 

[Big Boss]

rockets showed up and didn't use the fatigue excuse like the nuggets

 

[Teko]

If Lakers don't control the glass the rockets can pull it off. The rockets aren't a bad match up for the Lakers.

This. Rebounds were tied at 41. The Lakers should be playing closer to the basket and getting second chance opportunities. The Rockets are too small

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Harden sound like he didn’t even break a sweat tonight

 

[Nero Christ]

the difference b/w this G1 & the Portland G1 is that Houston was in control and able to combat everything that LA threw at them

also Dame just went crazy and the Blazers still barely won...The Rockets won running away

still think LA's size will ultimately make the difference with Harden & Sabo always ready to implode but there are things to be concerned about for LA

 

[Don Homer]

Okay lets see where the Lakers fukked up.

-Keeping Rondo in for way too long
-Out hustled
-Lebron 0 points in 4th quarter
-AD taking n too many tough shots cause no spacing


Vogel dumbass rotations

They got a bunch of nonshooting ass nikkas

 

[Sccit]

Don't put this on LeBron. They were some shyt.

THE TEAM GOES AS LEBRON GOES

AND....

This is G1 vs Portland all over again. This is about as well as Houston can play. LA can play much better. Houston is a better defensive team than Portland with better lead guys, but their style of play can be exploited...

This was q bad loss but needed. They'll be much better in G2...

Nah I said during the playoffs game against Memeohis that if Portland was good against the Lakers without Ariza there. Their perimter defense was that bad. They couldn’t keep anybody from getting into the paint. All Lebron had to do was be aggressive

THE TEAM GOES AS LEBRON GOES

AND....

The game had already unraveled in the 4Q the energy was trash all night.

 

[Cadillac]

This was the matchup i wanted for the Rockets since February

Lakers are very good and rightfully the favorites, but nothing compares to going 7 games (WCFs) and 6 games (WCSF) with the KD GSWs.

Literally couldn't make a single mistake vs them and their role players were savvy, if not limited.

Lebron's impact is similar to Steph as far as being the system, but AD ain't KD.

AD ain't KD.

That limitation of creation his own shot is a bytch.

 

[Sccit]

Are you even watching the game

he’s been the lakers best player out there

ARE U DUMB?

 

[Ozymandeas]

Houston is gonna get past LA. I see either Harden finally getting his first ring or Kawhi adding a third.

 

[The D-List Vet]

Rockets in 6

I Agree can see them winning in 6

 

[Nero Christ]

rockets showed up and didn't use the fatigue excuse like the nuggets

the Nuggets also just ain't no kind of matchup for the Clippers...that'll be a quick & painless death for Denver
