Biggest takeaways after this game for me are

Rockets defense forces teams into good old Iso-ball. The ability to switch 1-5 shuts a lot of shyt down

Houston's defensive weakness is quick guards. Only Eric Gordon & Austin Rivers can stay in front of them that's why CP3 and Schroder were both cooking our ass in the first round. Even guys like Trey Burke & Ish Smith eat against us. Lakers only have Bron who's a great Isolation player. It's going to be tough to generate offense if 3s aren't falling.

Harden must be thanking God he don't have to face Lu Dort anymore. That nikka don't make sense. Size, strength, length, footspeed, discipline, IQ, hustle, fighting over screens etc. He was keeping me awake at night. Lakers guards are BBQ chicken compared to what he just went through.
You did what most casuals do, forget Hardens defense. Having good defense and not trying verses trying but not being able to play good defense is two different things.

knowing harden has the ability to shut down (edit:contain)Kobe defensively then fast forward to being abused by scrubs is infuriating.

Hardens defense on the perimeter and post rivals Dorts defense against him.
It’s all there for you to see when he commits. Sadly it takes a bad shooting game for it to happen.

I think the key is the lakers make adjustments. Watching the lakers play before corona they were always in close games, played solid defense in the 4th and got the win. They should win this series.

The lakers are like the boxer that takes the early rounds off.

I don't think there's an argument against that but that shyt won't work against the fakkit ass clippers so it's not good enough.

Oh and people acting like Rondo doesn't make thing flow better on offense need to stop watching. He hasn't played in months I would expect him to be worse than he was. Breh was slipping and sliding all over the court
:mjlol:

Everywhere...You never there.
If Westbrook is hitting jump shots AT ALL this series is over.

this actually might be the better part of your take ... when I saw Russ was on splash mode I was like ruh-roh :lupe:


... I don’t know if he’ll be able to maintain that kinda shooting over the course of the series tho :manny:

I could see him next game revert to clank mode, running around unbridled without much control . :manny:
