WCSF: (1) Los Angeles Lakers vs (4) Houston Rockets, Part 1 | Series Tied 1-1

There is nothing intelligent about Houston's offense either. They are either hitting 3's or not. The only chance they have is if they blow out the Lakers in every game because anything close and they are gonna get LeGOAT'd.

Dame...err Harden is going to light the Lakers up! Blazers ummm Rockets in 6!!!

Go sit down, you just got lucky in beating the freaking Thunder.

Blazers play traditional 1-5

Lakers going to get picked apart on mismatches on the perimeter but they can't take their bigs off the floor to stop the bleeding because they can't small ball either.

Why can't they go small ? AD is the perfect small ball center

We get two days of Houston fans talking themselves into more of this nonsense

Lakers in 7 because Harden and Westbrook will go all out vs Lebron and the Lakeshow!

Literally no one gave a damn about Dort before this series. Only the Rockets could make that guy look good.

Harden found his master in lu dort. Lakers don't have that kind of defender. Houston might even sweep the Lakers just based on matchups.

Houston's still the (4) seed.

Just like they were in the First Round.

Not with that weak offense, HOU shooters have been really overrated.

Still waiting on playoff LeBron to make an appearance. Despite his 1st round output, he has another level to hit. I have a feeling we might see it in this series.

Lakers in 6.

Lebron should be the one that’s the aggressor on offense, not AD imo. AD should just continue to play his game and move without the ball and have Lebron set him up. AD is not meant to be a big post up player. That hasn’t worked so far the first couple games and becomes too predictable

I'm ready for LeBron to finally play a non-Warriors Western Contender since the 2014 Spurs.

This series will answer the question on whether or not the East was weak, 2011-2018.

this could go either way, i dont think lakers are favourites out-right, though i do expect them to win

PlatinumState · Post #98 » by **PlatinumState** » Thu Sep 3, 2020 8:32 am

Lakers in 6. Id be suprised if Houston goes through

Statlanta · Post #99 » by **Statlanta** » Thu Sep 3, 2020 8:39 am

Rockets in 7

Davis off-ball game is neutralized by the small lineup, and because he's a mediocre post player he can't take advantage of HOU.

Harden is a better offensive player than LeBron at this stage even with the loss of Bradley.

Lakers in 7.
