Lakers in 5 or 6. AD is gonna have another monster series against this severely undersized Rockets team. Lebron will get his. I don’t trust either Harden nor Westbrook late in games. And the Rockets just seem to be playing their worst basketball of the season right now.

Harden got so lucky :lol:

Lakers in 7 this is going to be difficult.

Harden and Westbrook are chokers when the pressure gets high but they will be the underdogs this series so watch out

as long as we can defend the 3 well, we can win this. Lakers in 6.

So we get to see if this small ball gimmick offense Houston runs can actually speed up the bigger Lakers. Lakers backcourt will be tested heavily. Harden may look different offensively in this series.

These schedules are brutal. I hope all teams get at least 2 days off between the 2nd round and the Conference Finals.

Well I should hope so. They’ve only played 5 games in 5 months... lol

I think Harden and Westbrook will cause the Lakers problems. Their perimeter defenders aren't as good as OKC's in containing drives.

I'll go Lakers in 6, but this should be a very tough series.

Lakers in 6, gonna be exciting for sure.
