    Lakers will try to adjust by playing smaller. Lets hope they shoot themselves in the foot by trying to play our style. Let's shock the world again!

    This team is like a hybrid of JVG & Adelman. Kind of ironic.

    With Foster officiating Rockets need to focus on nailing 3's (between 45-50 at 36% or better) and generating 20 turnovers (keep their own turnovers to 10 or less).

    Even without FT advantage, this is Rockets win if above 2 are achieved.

    Another nice write up by @foggy94 !

    Another point not brought up, Lakers looked tired after 3 quarters. Rockets need to ramp up their pace, even MDA noted after game that offense was playing slow.

    THIS is the difference between Harden-CP3 and Beard-Brodie.

    There is a mutual respect-trust-love, even when one is losing their mind.

    LOL

    NBA should be embarrassed AF that their 2× MVP is swept.

    Not too late to change the narrative and right a blatant wrong.

    Do The players not like wearing the home whites? I do not think I seen them play in them during the bubble. The H-Town ones are awesome tho and should be the default.

    Even the gamers have figured this out.

    Lakers cannot match Rockets speed, need to push pace even more in Game 2.

    Not good record wearing home whites or retros, so it could be mental.

    I say wear unis that give them the mental edge.

    Oh man the Rajon Rondo story they just told on NBA countdown was hilarious! I have never heard a team do that. So for those that missed it, they reported that all throughout Game 1 when Rondo would get the ball from everyone intentionally helping off of him, the Rockets would yell “He with us!” so nobody would try to recover and contest his shot. Wow. The disrespect. I love it. So good.

    This comment is how we force show the Lakers loving media clowns to eat their words once again. They can swallow their words with a sip of Texas Tea.

    Tucker needs to stay out of foul trouble.... the worst thing he can do is get in early foul... they may try to bring Dwight down low to bang with him in order to get him off the floor
