Rockets definitely have one more run left in them. This game is far from over.
Lakers will come out slow in the 3rd.

House dropping 12 pts, Westbrook dropping 15 pts and Harden dropping 23 pts in the 2nd half, guaranteed!

Lakers need to let Westbrook lose out there. Just cover everyone else.

This league is too rigged to not let Lakers win.

We rotated over to him like 3-4 times. Really good half defensively overall but those kind of breakdowns will kill you, especially if this thing gets close.

Westbrook will eventually start hitting shots. They should definitely double off him though.

The difference in the game was that masterpiece Westbrook (and Rivers) painted during the time Harden sat. Go look at that play by play to remember the greatness. The Lakers turned into 7 seconds or less. I can't remember a more brutal stretch for a single player.

The Rockets are a whole different team with the ball in his hands compared to Westbrook.
Like night and day different.

Well to be fair, having the ball in the hands of an 8th grade volleyball player would be a massive upgrade over Westbrook

Yeah I know Westbrook has been hot garbage on a turbo fan but if you watch just how the team plays with and without each guy it's amazing.
Harden came in and they walked a 20 point lead down to single digits. Russ comes back and the lead blows back up immediately.
It's just crazy considering what I've seen from the Rockets the last couple of years.

Explain it to me. In detail how it's rigged for us to win. I'd love to hear it.

Westbrook needs to slash and post up.

They paid Westbrook to turnover the ball and miss jumpshots.

F me, why are we rotating off Gordon?
