Hopefully rockets fans don’t blame this on the refs, Westbrook singlehandedly destroyed the Rockets

Harden was way too passive in the fourth. If lakers can keep it close until the fourth they’ll win the games.

Where's the 8 sec violation? Rondo still hasn't crossed the half court line when the shot clock read 16 seconds.

Just try to get past the Nuggets with Kawhi + scrubs.


You don't agree that the Lakers being so top heavy and a 35 year old with those miles having to play 40 mpg could be a problem?


People have been saying that for the last few years about Lebron.

But here we are.

28 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks on 60+ts% for James. Just high on TOs.

Brilliant performance once again when he's down in a series.

Looked like Davis and Harden were flirting there.

Still don't understand why they always abandon their ball movement and offensive sets and go into Harden iso spam in clutch time situations. It never works...

The Rondo/Caruso lineup, while crippling on offense, was surprisingly effective on defense.

What happened to pre bubble Westbrook that didn't chuck 3s, and drove to the rim on every trip?

Lakers have one of the worst supporting casts I've ever seen. It's Lebron, AD, and a bunch of outdated, old, washed up scrubs
