    They can't defend us if all of guards are aggressive and our forwards box out like fiends. Better match up than OKC in certain key ways. Foot on the throat man. Go for the kill every game.

    Lol, I imagine harden feels so much relief not to have Dort on him. Without bradley, the lakers have no one who can come close to checking him.

    Some of us called this. Now, lots more to prove, 3 more games to win...

    But I've said all along that we matchup well with this team. I even said in the first round, we match up better with them than against Portland.

    We were 13/39 threes...we did not take 50 threes tonight. I think that threw the Lakers off...they weren't expecting all the driving to the paint.

    Ad needs to play more aggressive if he doesn't want to lose.

    People disrespect OKC just to try and **** on the rockets. They are a legit good team.

    It's all about match-ups man...that's why Scott Foster got the green light from the league to put a red light on the Rockets because of the match-up problems and the threat they pose to their LAvsLA dream.

    I saw a headline on NBA.com this morning: "where Giannis gets the ball may determine the series".

    That doesnt sound like an MVP player to me!!

    James Harden is taken for granted.

    Looking forward to the banner hanging from the ceiling! "Beat LAL in Game 1 in West Semis."
