    I know it's only Game 1, but Harden always plays well against the Lakers and Lebron and PJ always clamps AD.

    The fact that no one even wanted to pick HOU to win the series, and the reason for their LAL pick was because the Lakers are bigger, is crazy to me. Rockets have shown they don't care how big you are multiple times during the season. It makes me think no one on TV watches basketball.

    You can add RoCo on that list as well

    Hit some big 3s and played some really really good defense.

    This game went exactly how I expected.

    If Ego continues to play like this, this could actually be a short series. They know what james and russ can do but having a third guard driving and hitting 3s they have no chance of guarding us. They dont have the personnel.

    Vogel will have no choice but to go small and probably play waiters more.

    I would think the Laker's will try the typical counters in Game 2 is the trap of Harden at like 30-35 feet with a big that is harder to split. Basically force EG/RW to beat you by running the offense. Rockets can beat it with Green setting up the offense and RW playing well, but they have to do it.

    On offense, it may be James/AD PnR and post up AD way more. Maybe more zebra calls?

    Why does everyone think Anthony Davis is a top 5 player in the league. He couldn’t even lead his team to the playoffs.

    These guys are definitely better than him:
    Lebron
    Harden
    Kawhi
    Giannis
    KD
    Steph

    I would take theses guys over him too.

    Butler
    Lillard
    Tatum
    Luka
    Mitchell

    That defense was just awe inspiring and Harden played excellent.

    This D with an aggressive Harden and an under control WB can win it all.

    The Lakers can’t run their offense through their bigs as the turnovers just pile up. Hopefully Howard starts demanding some post ups.....

    Somebody has to make a meme of LeBron trying to get PJ pregnant.

    La fans are mad at Vogel saying they played injured Rondo too long and it disrupted the teams chemistry.

    I'll complain because I have to, Rockets have to cut down the turnovers. They played a good game, but the unforced errors were annoying.
