I didn't think my respect for Tucker could get any bigger, or that I would have such appreciation for RoCo, but my goodness the way they compete against bigger guys, smaller guys, more talented guys, game in and game out. They are truly the secret sauce of this team along with a good night from Gordon and House here and there.

We're toast if we lose this one.

Gotta tip your hat off to houston. They're looking like the better team.

Extremely dissapointed in Lebron and AD. We need them to perform and so far this second half they've looked like complete trash.

21 point lead against the Rockets is like a 5 point lead against other teams. WTF are the Lakers doing?? Lmao Did they seriously think they could just check out after the first quarter because they dominated it?

Turned to the game off when Lakers were up 20. Just checked score just in time to be back.

Rondo and Caruso at the same time is death for the Lakers spacing

I don't think so

Hou is about to hit 20 threes rn on 50%

Thats all time shooting, nothing can beat that

But AD and Lebron better pick it up RN

Yup. Tatum in your series. Butler in the Heat series. Shamet in the Clippers series.

Lakers offensive strategy...AD taking contested fade away mid range shots over 2 guys.

Seems smart.

What is AD actually doing with those midrange shots and asking for the ball so further away from the basket?

Just post up deep. Both he and LeBron. Run, run and post deep. They'll foul, they'll put em in the penalty.
