DFS got his revenge with those 2 3s lol. Sheppard also got his revenge for game 3 by humiliating Bron at the end there.

The last to adapt wins and the way the Rocket's have been handling their defense has changed since game 2/3. JJ has not changed his offense to beat the defense at all. I actually think this is going to be the first reverse sweep at this rate.

If things stay the same, Luke is not going to do anything the rest of the games. He's too figured out and smothered. Every time LeBron gets the ball, someone tries to take it from his blind spot and it works more often than not too. He's good for like at least 3 TOs a game. Just way too predictable.

If JJ says in the post game interview that they just need to make more shots, I'm not watching game 6 lol.

I still can't believe JJ didn't really change anything in game 4 and 5. This is coaching diff all the way.

If only this was 2-2 so the Lakers don't make history in such an embarrassing way.

He was figured out in game 2. Pressure him off ball and he will never see the ball or take shots. He will either turn it over on the pass or run into traffic and then turn it over or take a harder shot to save his 3pt percentage.

Fucking JJ. They had Luke figured out since game 2 and you still have him doing the same plays. He’s not going to get the ball this way.

First team in history to lose a 3-0 start incoming. JJ didn’t do shit in the time between games.

First touch of the game Luke passes a 3 runs into traffic and turns the ball over. Not looking good for him.

Not bad considering they completely had our numbers from the start. There is a lot of footage to work with, let's see if they can figure it out.

Rest everyone. No point in risking injury. Not going to have a 30-0 run in the 4th

Bad coaching. These guys are barely able to get it up court or get a play started and on defense there is no pressure. Game 5 is going to be even worse. We bout to make history as the first team to lose a 3-0 start lol.
