Clutchfans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 8/6/2020

Through their first 4 bubble games, which happened against the Mavs, Bucks, Lakers and Blazers, the Rockets are allowing 22 4th quarter points per game.

 

Does anyone else have the feeling that Portland is gonna knock the Lakers out in the 1st round?

 

But what a tip.

 

Reckless Russ

 

looks like 1, 7 and 8 seeds are pretty much locked.
now it's up to us which seed we wanna go for. i don't mind staying at 4/5, hope OKC staying at 6th.

 

Defense is tight in crunch time.

 

Rivers hasn't impressed me either.

Hope he was just pressing this game.

 

James looked chill, really content in the post-game interview. Beating LA will do that to you. I’m pretty content myself. I hope he’s right about getting EG back. Nice to get that extra day off.

 

Harden showed he's more valuable than Davis once again

AD is one of those guys Kellerman always ranks above Harden

 

I only see his posts when he’s quoted. Too much of that crap.

 

That's what I would call an early Christmas present with a big huge bow on top!

 

?

 

Okay you aren't the only one who noticed that the dude IS ACTUALLY RUNNING up and down the court. He didn't do that pre-covid. He would do his slow walk constantly.

That conditioning during lockdown really did help him.

 

I just can't understand the people who would take AD over Harden to start their franchise. Say what you want about Harden, but Harden routinely drags mediocre talent into the playoffs every year. AD has had comparable talent to Harden and he couldn't do anything with it.

Harden even took Anderson and EG to the playoffs and AD couldn't.

 

Dude healthy LeBron isn't going to allow that to happen

 

Shaq with excuses for the Lakers. So predictable.

 

The NBA would never let it happen, but Portland in the 8th seed is going to be a monster!
