But you all knew that. I am convinced The Houston Rockets Organization and the NBA had an agreement for the Rockets to lose on purpose to bring in more revenue from this series. How do we dominate the first two quarters and then automatically turn into the Lakers and go tank mode for 2 quarters.
Actually the Rockets only dominated the First and the let up after they got the double-digit lead. 2nd Quarter was when the Mavs made the big run and took an 8-point lead into the half.
Is 1 day of additional revenue worth risking player injury that could potentially bench 20 million worth of asset?
I completely agree... NBA is just another reality show that they package up with elite athletes and stories and merchandise. Look at how teams like the Cavs are handed superstars left and right. While others tank season after season. We gotta learn to enjoy the drama and great play and not get attached to the outcome too much. The rockets will move on to the second round and we will be rested. We have the second easiest route in the west that was by virtue of earning the second seed. Noone gave that to us.
