4-1 Lakers. We just saw how terrible are Rockets in the clutch in last series... Lakers need to keep it close till the 4th qtr and its easy win for them every time...

The Houston team cannot defend LeBron and AD simultaneously. Lakers in 5 or 6.

They are going to abused rebounding. Overpowered offensively. If they don't get supremely hot from 3, it isnt a contest.

I think the only chance they have is to put Tucker on LeBron and Covington on AD.

Then have a pre-game ceremonial ritual ended with a prayer.

Lakers in 5 or 6. Debating whether I want to mess around for a game or two or dunk on PJ's head.

If the Lakers are allowed to play physical defense on Harden, they'll win going away

HOU was able to scheme out Adams on both ends of the court. I think Laker bigs will be more involved. Would be up to Harden and the 3 point shooting.

Lakers are gonna get some good practice in against some wings and wing defenders

HOU offense has been mid all bubble, but defense has actually kept them afloat. They gonna need Harden and Jan - Feb WB to actually challenge LA and rn they don't look like they are in that form.

Fortunate for us none of our bigs move like they have cement blocks on their feet.

Almost forgot to mention that the NBA 100% wants to see the LA/LA conference final.

I'm astounded how bad Adams was and he still gave HOU some trouble.

There's a bit of a difference between a slow fat dinosaur and 3 guards vs AD and Lebron. There's gonna be a lot more pressure on the rim.

Comes down to the Lakers making their shots. If they bring that perimeter defense from the Portland series and make their shots at an average pace, they should win.

MotownMadness · Post #39 » by **MotownMadness** » Thu Sep 3, 2020 4:13 am

Should be a easy series for the Lakers. They got Davis, LeBron and WestBrook to finish off Houston

Fan wise this is the preferred matchup. I’m interested to see how both teams will attack each other.

Who ya got?
