    Davis And Dwight are going to get abused in space and everyone's going to scratch their heads and wonder why. Also why aren't they giving it to Davis in the post more because the Rockets are short. Harden, not known for his defense, is playing good defense. Did you guys know Harden isn't known for his defense?

    Jesus Mike Greenberg doesn't even watch sports.

    I've never cared much for Greenberg. Out of Golic and Greenberg all these days, Golic at least had a brain a decent amount of the time.

    None of them do, Fiz was saying Dort shoulda shot because he was in bounds. He wasn’t, he stepped out before he tried to throw it off Harden.
    Obviously they don’t realize Harden has been an average to good defender for 3-4 seasons now.
    They don’t realize the length every player on the Rockets has, and that rebounded doesn’t matter if they limite turnovers and create turnovers (the key to rockets routinely having more shots put up)

    A potato on a stick has more charisma and basketball knowledge than Greenberg. He's a waste of oxygen when it comes to commenting on basketball.

    So what happens with this series in China? Will Chairman LeBron make some calls to get the games televised, or will the NBA be blocked out for every upcoming series the Rockets are in?

    Fizdale is so overrated.

    Cannot believe he is publicly commenting on a game he did not even watch.

    Otherwise he would have known that Dort could not take another 3 attempt because he stepped out of bounds.

    And neither Fizdale nor Legler are aware that Rockets had the Lakers number in regular season and in bubble.

    Rockets are Lakers worst nightmare, they take a ton of threes and Lakers do not defend OR shoot 3ball very well.

    I hear u but dont underestimate thier size. I know we won in the reg. But in the playoffs u focus more on ur gameplan and technique To me its gonna be hard for both teams..going 7. Each team presents major problems for the opposing team.

    Lbj is super smart....i saw he already picked up on something I was worried about...n thats the rockets forcing turnover..he said that they have to focus on clean passes to the post since rockets hands are so active. To me that where teams was messing up against us. They were kind of post rushing instead of slowing down making good passes n using the height smartly down low.


    Teams should post but throw it over the top to get it deep in the post. Its gonna be a classic series I think....like a boxing match..ali vs Tyson.

    Not going to be a sweep, but Rockets were built to beat teams like Lakers where best players are bigs.

    There best player is lbj.....n bigs can beat the rockets dont get it twisted, if those big do what they do harder strong better then we do what we do. Like the ali versus tyson I mentioned. One has speed n power while the other reach n technique. It's no hard n fast one is better. Its how do u do ur strength better then the other guy does his strength.

    We will see.

    Rockets will shock the world, only way Lakers have a chance is if they beat Rockets in TOV and Rockets do not hit 34% from 3.

    Saying it right now, book it.

    On that note, OKCs bigs line up just as tall as LALs. And with more youth! This should be a great series. It was OKCs guards that killed us.

    it's our first game 7 win since the 2015 western semi's? they act like that's a long time. or like we played more than 1 game 7 since then. again, sorry we couldn't beat a 4 HOFer juggernaut that trashed everyone else.
