Some tough shots made

Nobody shoots this well from 3, even on all open 3s, this is insane

Hou made 8 in a row vs OKC last series one game and then went like 3/24 after

Lakers need to get physical inside on offense

The inconsistency of this Lakers team is wild. One quarter they look unbeatable then the next they can look like a g league team.

Rockets should think of benching Russ for the entire game. He'll probably do something to screw them over when it's winning time lol

They're like 8-8 from 3 in the 3rd quarter alone. What is the freaking ts% of Houston in this quarter? They might be well above 100.

I am not looking forward to the many teams that are going to try duplicating what Houston is right now.

And that all begins with Harden sharing the ball much more than before the bubble.

I need 10 good minutes of Harden, Gordon, House, Covington, and Tucker. Doing work with that lineup. Mix in a little Rivers, Green for rest and let's see if they can take this home.

Pretty sure CP3's health was the reason for that deal

I know everyone thinks the rockets will come back to earth but lets be honest most of these shots are not even contested so leave them open like that and of course they will make a high clip

Hey he was real good in the regular season....but we were all more than fine letting him go after his playoffs faceplant.

Not only that, but the Lakers havent practiced them at all. Giving up open 3's one pass away on a drive is ridiculous. And ive seen the Lakers do that like 6 times already

LeBron is now just standing around and watching. Guy is the most mental midget GOAT candidate I ever seen. Always taking his foot off the gas at the worst time
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation
