    Good Ole Scott Foster! Always has been a thorn in games, when a an opponent are favored vs the LA teams. .God I hope it's not 5 vs 8 this series. We'll see.

    It would be way too obvious with Luka and reaves out. If lakers were at full strength they would have made it to the finals.

    I hate hearing the Lakers fans saying we are a flaw team because we don't have PG.

    **** Stone.

    You even can't get a PG from buyout market.

    I do think they have an answer for KD.Marcus smart did a great job defending KD in the most recent games. Getting under him and playing physical/forcing him into turnovers.

    A loss to the depleted Lakers is going to be an epic fail

    I know how easy it is to be a cynic. You don’t feel heartbroken if you already know you lost before you started. But this is our team, and let’s ****ing go. We’re gonna roll through the Lakers, and if we find ourselves, you better get ready…..I’ve seen this before. I hate all the woe is me hand-wringing. Jesus I’m not sure how most of you work up the strength to wake up every morning. We have no control over how this is gonna go…but let’s ****ing go!!! Our team is in the playoffs. You’ll be dead soon enough. Let’s go!!!!

    Knowing the Referees Bronny James gets a Career High. While Reed Shappard gets benched by Ime Udoka.

    Dalton Knecht Career High. Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves returns.

    I voted Rockets in 7, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lakers will come out victorious. The Rockets need to defend the 3 point line effectively and consistently. Go Houston Rockets!

    Would rather DFS play than Tate off the bench. At least his three point shot was starting to come around and he can spread the floor. The Tate lineups have been awful and they’re still giving up a ton of points on defense, so you’re not getting nothing from Tate on either ends of the court. Those lineups are the reason why the Rockets constantly give up leads.
