The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)

[Homer38]

A legendary game, maybe, maybe not, but for Luka, it's his first legendary moment and if he becomes an all-time great, we will remember this game, especially because of his game winner....

[Jdw38]

Thanks PistolPeteJR. I share your sentiments.

But man, Luka is rising—and fast!

Also minor aside but not really sure Houston gets by OKC still. As a fan I want Houston there, and think its a far more interesting and fun series, but just a feeling.

Houston are gonna win easily. They got screwed last game it should be 3-0.

How did they get screwed? If anything Houston is Lucky Dort didn't play in game 1. Harden is shooting 5/34 against him in the regular season and playoffs combined. He is by far the best Harden defender in the league and a legit stopper

The ball went out on Adams at the end but they called it okc ball. Okc turn around and score and it leads to OT. If the right call was made the game finishes

Also final 2 minute report there was a foul on Schroder that was uncalled. They're a good team and getting a game that way is something that I can definitely see swing the series, plus if Westbrook comes back I'd expect it to take a game or 2 to get back to himself which they can't afford. Picked them pre-series, I'm not expecting their wild story to end just because it's gone that way for them all year. Lakers likely demolish them but I'm expecting a comeback at this point.

Definitely rooting for OKC to pull off the upset.

I could do without it honestly, they need to actually rebuild. But expecting it to happen.

I hope not, Houston is so much more interesting and fun. I don't even think I'd manage to care an ounce about the 2nd round.

There's enough excitement in the 2nd round out East. I'd rather see a fire series between Paul and Harden with Paul coming out on top then Rockets-Lakers.

You could get that then an actual 2nd round too. Also, I don't think the Bucks/Heat will be very interesting. TBH I'd likely tune out for a few weeks at that point, there's only 1 other 2nd round I could see being very competitive and Paul's team just doesn't have the upside. As an OKC fan I've been incredibly down on this season just b/c they're in a weird stage where its delaying a rebuild.

Oh I agree that Thunder/Lakers will be uneventful, but I believe the Heat could make the Bucks' lives super difficult in round 2.

Guess it depends how Bam fares against Giannis and what Bledsoe does. The Bucks game 1 freaked me out a little but I'm a bit toward the other end, and I don't really know if any other series are interesting other than BOS/TOR. Not sure what to make of Clippers/Jazz either but still kind of think LAC figure it out, PG can't be much worse.

I just feel like Bam is a great matchup for Giannis. In addition, Miami's defensive grit, veteran championship experience on the bench and with guys like Iggy, and their sniper-like three-point shooting against a team like the Bucks who defend the 3 very poorly has got real potential to upset Milwaukee.

The bucks have looked bad all bubble. I cant envision Miami not being competitive and give them a decent shot to win

Maybe it will be closer, I just saw the Bucks score so far today .

Bam is definitely the key to that matchup though.

so we're gonna ignore how houston got a bs tech and posession before that

That’s wasn’t clearly the wrong call though. Did Houston even score off that i can’t remember.


And then Schroder fouled off the next play when the ball webtbodf Adams.


Either way Houston are gonna win the series

Is he coming back?

No idea what’s going on with Westbrook. I thought the rockets would win today regardless but it appears I was wrong

[MisterHibachi]

Damn, OKC might really do the Lakers a favor and take care of Houston. At the very least, tire out their legs.

[kayess]

I feel so **** bad for the Rockets. A lot of those 3s were wiiiide open. Is there something about fatigue level impacting jump shots late in the game or something? Probably not, but jesus. They were on fire too.

The Lakers match up favorably vs. the Thunder no?
