7ft AD had 6’5 PJ on him and he was taking 15 ft jumpers. PJ should be in foul trouble 3mins after tip-off.

- They got 3 centers, but neither are talented enough or like to post up
- Anthony Davis hates playing center, and rather pump fake and shoot 17 foot jumpers
- Lakers probably have the worst perimeter defense in the league, with Rockets being a perimeter dominant team
- Rockets got enough bodies to throw at Lebron
- Anthony Davis can't drive when PJ Tucker is guarding him
Rockets in 6
I agree with all your points
Lol Clippers beat them by 15.
The Clips and the Rockets to me are even because the Rockets can't target anybody on that team when healthy outside of maybe Lou in some lineups, and they can go tit for tat, bar for bar from 3. The Lakers haven't shown us that, size is one of their biggest advantages but I'm not sure if they can properly use it against this team right now.

Dwight & Javale were useless all year and nothing has changed
if those two were bigs with a decent offensive skillset everyone would be in trouble

Tucker is a strong ass bamma. As a tall slim breh who is forced to play center in pickup games I can say those are the matchups you fukking hate.

I think i remember hearing about this but I wasn’t sure.
@murksiderock a friend told me The Clips were up 30+ when they benched their starters. Is that true? ESPN.com is acting funny right now otherwise I’d check myself

Tired of lebron playing like Rick Rubio with a chasedown artist badge. Next game I expect them to come out similar to how they did game 2 vs Portland. Not worried but annoyed

The two L's to Houston never happened, huh? Lmao...
Houston would give them trouble because they gave them trouble. Regardless, my underlying point stands, Houston played at almost peak level tonight. This wasn't their ceiling but nobody expects them to score 140 on 50% from three on this team; this was effectively very near the highest gear they can reach...
LA has another several gears to unlock and just played miserably. I'll stand corrected and be flabbergasted if they can't figure Houston out and lose this series. As it is, after G1, this feels more like an awful performance versus a squad giving you very close to their strongest punch. Lakers for sure gonna have to work for it, but they'll figure it out...

Post ups arent even required. There is nothing preventing the Lakers from throwing lobs all game. They just need movement around the basket- They got 3 centers, but neither are talented enough or like to post up
- Anthony Davis hates playing center, and rather pump fake and shoot 17 foot jumpers
- Lakers probably have the worst perimeter defense in the league, with Rockets being a perimeter dominant team
- Rockets got enough bodies to throw at Lebron
