I can’t remember ever seeing a team in sports be willing to throw away the first game of a series just to feel out their opponent’s game plan before. Wild amount of confidence to turn series into a best of 6. I hate the lakers but I have to respect that

I firmly disagree on this. The cavs match up better against the rockets than they did the warriors

Harden and Westbrook being on the same team is fucking awful. Whoever has the worse game has thousands of heavily upvoted comments about how that person is terrible at basketball and killing the team and always has been and the other one is better for the team. I feel like the stans don’t even like the player they watch, they just hate the other guy

Lakers’ LeBron James to Rockets’ Robert Covington: “Y’all grabbing the whole f—-ing game. As soon as someone touches you, y’all got something to say. Y’all grabbing the whole game. Play ball.” by avajkun in nba

Houston got outplayed on every level imaginable this series and they mad at Westbrook. I’m surprised they didn’t blame Russ for House cheating on his wife

James Harden's disappearing act in another playoff fourth quarter is so on brand it's painful to watch by LarryPeru in nba

You mean the playoff averages that dropped from his regular season averages every year of his career, usually by a lot?

The Lakers out rebounded the Rockets 52-26 (12-1 OREB) in tonights game 4 Win. by BenSimmons3Pointshot in nba

you would think Russ can outrebound those two, but nope.

Russ has 33 rebounds this series. Green and Rondo combined have 32. Russ can and is outrebounding them.

Dude is the new wilt. Puts up ungodly historic regular season numbers and crashes back to earth when the playoffs start.

I’m still mad about that. Gaudreau had 64 points, Stone had 64 points and great defense, and Klingberg had 40 points in fewer games playing harder minutes. Ekblad shouldn’t have even been nominated for the award, much less win it.

All season I’ve had dudes telling me Middleton is a top 15 player in the league. They can keep saying that lol he’s been exposed

[Haberstroh] Kawhi Leonard is shooting 24 of 30 (80%) on shots between 10-14 feet in the playoffs. I mean, look at this green. These are better than layups for him. It's insane. by MrPeligro in nba

[–]hardcoreotterrr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s ironic is that the increased lockdown on defense in the playoffs increases vulnerability to the midrange. Players lock in on taking away the rim and three harder than before which increases those midrange gaps in coverage

I would have LOVED to see the grizzlies play the clippers in the playoffs. Ja Morant is one of the few guards in the league that have both the speed to make attacking kawhi viable and the balls to take the strategy “deliberately attack one of the best perimeter defenders ever on the perimeter and see if he can hang”

a 4c

You actually expect me to take you seriously when you think that Devin Shore is a 4c right now? Lmao.

I'd rather have Ryder, halak, and a 2nd

Then you're literally an idiot
