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

I will say Vogel is making MDA look like a genius... lol

I dont know why teams dont just force it down our throats... so often teams get to the rim with ease that I dont understand why they arent hammering it more.

I thought OKC had figured out at the end of 3 was it? They just kept driving in for easy layups...

We'll see how things continue to unfold and hope for the best!

 

I love Magic. Don't even care if he was a Lakers great.

 

I think we are all overlooking the true MVP of this game. MDA. Not for his offensive strategy...or being the head coach of the best defensive team in the bubble.

But for his amazing timing of his time outs tonight. That....that was the game changer.

 

One thing I would like to add in all seriousness. The fact that Covingtons defense is so....much better against this style of team rather than OKC.

 

They was from the quick gaurds tho our weakness. Lakers don't have guys that can beat us like that on drives....n short they dont have the personal

 

I can finally see what D'Antoni is going for now in reality after 20 years of watching his questionable gameplans. The three pointer is so much more valuable than regulars field goals (+50%) that if you get a team that is so guard dominant over another team and shoot three pointers and layups and also be able to have guys playing both power forward and center on the three point line while those dominant guards drive the paint . . . ok . . . it's working

I can't wait to see the adjustments in game 2. I don't think Lakers have the personnel to guard rox dominant guards on the perimeter.

We'll really see how this plays out in the next round against the Clippers with their four premier perimiter defenders. Kawhi vs PJ Tucker will be unreal. But that's getting way way too far ahead of ourselves.'

Mike D'Antoni, props for this bubble game plan so far. I like winning.

 

Are we watching the same games?

So often teams get to the rim with ease? Huh?

 

It's got to taste a little sweet for MDA, as he got a playoff win on his old team. His head coaching stint over there isn't like the run he's had with HOU.

 

Not surprised knew it would happen all along.

They recontextualized what he said. The quote was in response to the Rockets being too small. He wasn't insulting the Lakers, or implying AD does not have heart (like the picture suggests), he was giving his boys props.

 

Yeah same lol i just wrote yesterday that lakers are p*****s and our mvps will go off

 

Also we from Europe and had to wake up 3am to watch this game and went back to sleep at 6 am only to sleep 2 hours more.... is that what haters do?

 

at least basketmad is not even pretending to be unbiased

 

lol yes....! spot on... but to be honest last night i fall asleep and missed the games.. i was terribly tired due to constant lack of sleep due to late games and staying wake entire nights in order to be able to watch it...it doesnt work for me to go to sleep early then wake up in 3 am
