    F*cking love it. If you haven’t learned that harden balls out when the media buries him, you haven’t been paying attention.

    I like the Rockets for the series but for G1, after seeing what the Clippers did to an exhausted DEN, I have my doubts. Hopefully the fresh legs of McLemore can't alleviate some of the minutes. It's going to be tough. Lakers from a Vegas standpoint makes total sense.

    People who don’t have their own opinions
    They need someone to tell them opinions

    Yup. Rockets just beat a healthy Chris Paul and a very confident rocket team. If you can keep the ball out of Lebron’s hands, the Lakers will fall. His pride will literally be his demise. That’s why you see AD disappear. Case of too many chiefs over in LA. If it weren’t for the refs and the league, they’d be embarrassed.

    I have a lot of compassion for these people who once spent tons of money in school of journalism only to be told what to say. It would be life-sucking for me. These guys cry themselves to sleep every night. I mean who’s NOT sick of Lebron except Lebron?

    Is there a drinking game where you drink every time Chris Broussard says LeBron?

    When we beat the clippers in the epic game 6 comeback. We were not favored to win that one.

    The ELO based model only gives the Rocket's a 32% chance. If I was betting I'd bet the Rockets for anything the implied odds under 40%, but Lakers otherwise.

    Who's going to guard Anthony Davis? That alone is a huge problem.

    He will and he'll dunk all he likes too. The benefit of having someone six inches shorter than you trying to guard you.
