    Harden, Westbrook, Gordon, Rivers. All the Rockets guards getting it in. The Lakers can't stop it.

    I'll take Lebron and AD having to hit jumpers to win the series.

    Unlike the Thunder series, it was us who finished the quarter the best. Westbrook making a big difference late

    Rivers finally coming alive in a series

    Russ is getting some rhythm. If we can get the pre shut down Russ averaging 30+ with this version of Harden, we're legit.

    I agree....my worry is those guys officiating...they will be good for 8-10 alone for the Lakers.

    Whenever Westbrook shot a jumper, I was like, "No, no, no, no.,.. yes!"

    Nice boost by Russ. Gotta limit turnovers in 4th and close the game out.

    It’s uncanny. I know he practices it like a fool but a 15-17 foot bank? Just not something you see these days or even back in the day

    Surprised they showed the replay of that Harden dunk on Lebron. I thought the footage would have been wiped away from the universe by now.

    It looks like the Lakers are defending the arc pretty well. This would be a good time for mid range jumpers but only Westbrook will shoot them.

    This is another training series for the Rockets. If we ever make it to the next couple of rounds and hope to survive against the teams ahead, we gotta stop making teams hang around when we can kill them.

    The Team stats comparison after 3 quarters are nearly identical for both teams. Only major difference is 2 more made 3 pointers by the Rockets.

    Fake a$$ 1 seed. They don't match up with us. We should beat them down like the Warriors beat the Mavs in 2007 playoffs.

    Let the Lakers garbage players shoot like Rondo or Kuzma
    They can’t hit the side of mountain
    Let Davis jack with threes so we can take away their rebounds

    Rockets should speed the game up a bit.

    Lakers will a hard time matching that.
