    The Rockets didn't do enough to win the game.

    But Foster was there just in case they did. All in all a net positive for the Rockets. They were never winning the Foster game up 1-0. Got Brodies bad game out of the way and saw the Lakers only viable strategy for limiting Harden.

    Rockets in 6.

    Am I missing something? Why is this a series of tweets instead of an article?

    Only way to counter it is of there are fair calls for both sides.

    The tweets break down the defense.

    Unconventional but informative.

    Hahah I like this outlook. I mean if Westbrook didnt come back in, maybe they extend the lead from 5 to 10, and then I feel like Foster goes to work and Lakers win by a point or two making it even worse of a loss. I find it hard to believe the league lets the Bucks nearly get swept and have the same thing happen to the Lakers.

    A quite objective comment.
    Without question, on the mind of Adam silver n some ppl this league, they got an agenda, a rosy THE BEST MATCHUP scenario, believe they got the responsibility to protect n send the RIGHT team to the final.

    When we cutting a 20pt deficit n giving a unbelievable comeback in the 3rd qrt of game 2, LAL might scare the **** outta themselves but the league not…the league want us to prove more in consideration of our choking history in key games past seasons. Only when we did something unprecedented or more affirmative, the could change their mind; otherwise they won't feel hesitate even w/ a slightly guilty to use notorious foster to rig.

    Gotta say that might be RULE of the game. not about how many 3s ya make, how many boards ya grab, how many assists ya kick etc., all about ya eagerness as well as ya toughness crunch time, that's the only thing help turning the tables on LAL n rewriting the story.
