Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 9/4/2020 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

Amen. From quitting when Cleveland played Boston, to the farcical, drama about going to Miami, and all of the above...This guy's a great great player, but he's also a b****y/fickle queen...with no sense of honor.

 

don't know why, but i don't feel as much pressure vs fakers.
i was feeling very nervous when we played OKC..

 

It be like that when no one expects you to win.

 

Let’s go Houston Rockets for a win in Game 1! You can do it!

 

Some positive vibes going into Game 1.

Blast form the Past time!

 

If upsets were predictable, they wouldn't be upsets.

Im my mind, the majority of the factors are in the Rockets favor.

1) Rockets always play better under less pressure (Lakers heavily favored)
2) A team that relies on bigs and is short staffed in their guards
3) Harden and Westbrook have more to prove than Lebron and A.D. (more motivated)

Having said this, I still cant favor the Rockets. Our guys are beat. They played a hard series vs OKC. BUT, I give us a chance. If we stay healthy, we could surprise.

 

We will surprise indeed

 

Inside the numbers. Dwight is a HUGE liability, JaVale quite not as much.

 

Rockets have to be better at corner 3.

Not just PJ but BMac and Rivers too.

 

Benny Mac redemption game .

 

Luc is healthy and seems to be a coach on the bench, but I would like to see Bruno in this situation.

No guards to dart by him. This Lakers team is perfect for his defense and 3ball.

 

Who is GOAT again?

10-4 advantage Harden. Mind boggling.

 

I guess he isn't perfect, still one of mah fave fantasy players of Alltime.

 

5 years older, that's like saying Yao dominated Shaq but it's the older version of Shaq.

 

Remind me which Lebron version is playing tonight again?

I thought so.

 

Expecting Russel to dominate this entire series....I predict sweep or gentleman sweep
