Maybe whether LeBron can stop Dort on the other end is the better question. He's challenging Bron's reign for the crown of best game 7 player at the moment :lol:

Lakers in 6, Houston will be a tough but I trust LeBron and AD like 10x more compared to Harden and Russ.

I think the Lakers will have some problems with Harden and Westbrook. Their perimeter defenders aren't as good as OKC's in containing drives.

But I'll pick them in 6. AD will be the key.

Rockets it is. I hope Vogel is proactive here. I don’t want them coming out like they did against the Blazers.

As bad as people wanted to see Cleveland vs LA in 2009 and 2010 with Kobe vs Lebron it never happened. Apart from that I think Clippers vs Lakers is the one matchup people want to see since then.

Really wanted lebron to go against dort in the end. Good warmup for the clippers wing defense.

Will Westbrook be able to make a layup because he missed a lot of bunnies in the fourth there. Curuso and AD should contain him well enough

Lakers need to be very consistent when it comes to closing out on 3-pt shooters. They tend to freelance off of shooters. Rockets will live and die by the 3, that’s their bread and butter. LeBron needs to strike them from the get-go. LeBully-Ball needs to take advantage of his size and strength matchup against that small team.

I think this lineup would be too much for Rockets to overcome.

PG-Caruso
SG-Green(They’ll need his defense)
SF-Pope
PF-Bron
C-AD

I'm looking back on LeBron's highlights in LA's loss to Houston post-Capela trade and it's pretty clear that he mailed it in effort wise.

Watch on YouTube

He rarely tried any hard drives to the paint or postups, was pretty careless passing the ball, and he attempted 8 3's. He was more focused on playmaking but even then he took a more passive Draymond Green like route instead of actively creating. He did get blindsided by House a few times trying to lay it in but yeah, I'm not too worried about that.

I'm feeling good about this series. If he plays physically and attacks the rim they don't have an answer for him. I can see him having another 30+ average GmSc series. The only things to worry about are McGee getting too many minutes and Harden having a hot streak

LA might come in cold. I can see them missing all their threes and LeBron getting blocked by Covington a few times in game 1 sparking another "DAE LeBron can't score in the half court??" conversation but this will be a 5 or 6 game series

Playoff Bron going against a team with zero rim protectors. Sheesh.

Triple-doubles have kind of jumped the shark but he's gonna average it again in this series.

That’s been the ideal lineup all season
