Not really...or at all. It was a poor call but beyond that?

Twice as many ft for Rockets. Equal number of fouls.


..this is after game one where 8 more FTS for the rockets.. and again equal number of fouls.

Just surround Harden with shooters and it's a competitive game again

That was pretty close. Davis could have gotten seriously injured there when he landed on Lebron's leg.

Lakers interior D has been a lot better. Rockets were getting uncontested layups in game 1. This game they're collapsing and forcing Russ to shoot uncontested 3's.

This is what supposed to happen when teams play small against Lebron/AD. Lakers should play aggressive cause the Rox cant defend and keep them off the glass without fouling

Rondo minutes a little too overextended for my liking.

Great adjustments from the Lakers tonight, including in energy level. Looks like Nuggets/Clips game 2
Thank you Nico!

If Russ just keeps doing that.. hustling not shooting and making simple reads they'll be so much better.

No lead is safe with the Rockets. If they get hot they can trim a lead quickly but this game looks over

I've noticed with Westbrook for about the last 6 minutes he has gone into energy guy...he's not shooting but he's running all over the court trying to make hustle plays. If he commits to that I think he could be a plus for the Thunder.....
I'm so tired of the typical......
