Game one film study: How Houston made easy work of the Lakers

Very well done.

You raised a number of excellent points. I would add that while AD has the reputation of being able to guard on the perimeter, he cannot guard the Rockets one on one in the perimeter without a shot blocker behind him and that just doesn’t work for other reasons.

 

I love you dissected that dude's particular tweets. Btw. He's good a good analysis but completely bought into the Laker's two big lineup without any and, ifs, or buts.

 

The Ringer's KOC is also pushing this narrative.

I thought he was smarter than that.

 

Good stuff. I dig reading your analysis and you keep it unbiased.

 

I think they might be banking on Russ killing our spacing while not taking into account that they really have no one who can stay in front of Harden LOL. I still really like KOC.

 

Playing 2 bigs is nonsense because Rockets 5 out pulls them to perimeter negating rim protection and rebounding.

Unless Lakers just pack paint and pray that Rockets go cold from 3.

That sounds like death either way.

Their only chance is Scott Foster fouling out Harden, PJ and RoCo while sending AD and Lebron to FT line 30 times.

 

Love +/- but 15 minutes is very poor sample size but I hope they keep trying.

 

Exhibit A
