    Ernie is the only trying to keep these morons in check with their stupid analysis.

    Small ball doesn’t take into account fatigue.

    Wow, tied at the half. Can the lakers sustain this and hold the onslaught of the small ball the whole game? We'll see.

    We can hang with this gigantic Lakers lineup, but will somebody remind our players that Danny Green is there to do one job, so don't leave the ****ers to help out on the inside. If they score a 2, so be it, Green wide point is an automatic 3.

    Everyone at the TNT crew thinks small ball is a terrible idea. I'm starting to think this just might work.

    Why are these guys looking for ways to tear us down?

    Lol it’s not going to work. It’s a gimmick that will lead to nothing in the playoffs.

    You can tell TNT hasn't watched the Rockets. Rockets get stronger in the 4th with the micro lineups.

    That was a very encouraging first half. Yes, the Lakers got easy points in the paint, but the Rockets got open looks at will, too.

    Also, who is this Danuel House character? He seems like he came to play tonight.

    Look for Lakers to post up AD more in the 2nd half.

    Why not play Hartenstein a bit? We can go small and go big too...is this like an experimental game for MDA?

    I mean he'd be right...but it's not like we getting post up to death.

    I agree when we play Jokic or Lopez, we may have to throw in Chandler because you can't give skilled post up players those shots, that's an easy 2 points for them...

    But for like 90% of the teams since low post offense is nearly extinct...there is no wearing down.

    He's not wrong. Rockets are having to play insanely hard on D to have this strategy not fall apart.
