    Rockets, up your defense and run the Lakers out of the arena. Go Rockets.

    not from me. I wasn't worried. Refs had to reach down deep in the bag to get Lakers that lead. Imagine if Russ had a regular game, Lakers would be down one million points.

    That elite iso scorer has to be able to keep defenses honest by penetrating constantly, though. I don't see other iso scorers (Lillard, Durant, etc) being able to do this.

    We have
    to win it all to make it acceptable. We’ve made deep runs already.

    A lot of people still look at game 7 WCF 2018 and see how a bad half of shooting can destroy that strategy

    If it wasn't for that wasted first half we we would be the ones up by 20+ and we wouldn't be blowing it.

    They decided to go away from the 3-2 once we started making our 3s, what did I say? They even stopped doubling Harden on every play. Attacking the rim is now totally in play.

    I said this before. WB has to be a team player and still be positive, encouraging team mates when having a bad game.
    He goes and sits by himself in the corner... I dont get it.
    If WB every played with a decent IQ, we will win the championship.
    His play is the X factor.
    Go Rockets
