    D'antoni will make adjustments and all the haters will go back into their underground bunkers.

    The Lakers ain't gonna score 70% from the threes but Rockets gotta be smarter. Westbrook is playing like crap, ball hogging and taking stupid shots and making big time errors.

    Nothing you can do about that last Rondo shot but we need to close faster on some of the shots they’re taking.

    We're giving up wide open 3s and can't figure out how to beat the trap on the other end. Hope we made an adjustment soon or we're boned tonight.

    Rockets were fine if Rockets didn't try to get all the points back in one play.

    Rockets tried to draw fouls to stop the runs and refs are not going to call those fouls.

    I thought Rockets were smarter than that.

    The Rockets look like they were satisfied with winning game 1. The Lakers obviously want this win more than the Rockets.

    Turnovers killed us at the end of that quarter...sheesh. Protect the ball Rockets. Let's get going and turn this around. Go Rockets.

    Westbrook has no idea how badly he’s killing the rockets

    Rockets have no counters.

    Once teams figure out the Rockets simplistic gameplan, it's just a matter of us scrapping out wins maybe, like we did in the OKC series.

    It a combo, we're losing the game, and the Lakers are now taking it.

    We're still in this. We were expecting a punch in the mouth. If we can keep it respectable at the half (12 or less) we have a chance.

    Dantoni is still terrible at adjustment.


    I believe He won't call timeout even we lose 20 pts in 1st quarter.

    Adjustment quarter. This is how the playoffs go. Gotta turn the defense back on and figure this thing out.
