17-3 2nd chance 19-2 fast break 62-24 points in the paint 52-26 on the glass No chance. I didn't think we looked great offensively. It was a group effort, but the D was the best in the bubble for the first 3 quarters (and the 2nd half of the previous game), we got lax and lazy in the 4th. But we wanted it more. Harden was MIA. Let's wrap this on Saturday.
I think the Rockets should try something new, since this small ball is not working. They should go smaller in game 5. If that doesn't work, trade everyone.
Harden had 20ftas, more than our entire team. The rockets shot twice the fts than us. They made more 3s at better than 40%, while we shot 30%. And we still won, dominating them until that little brain fart at the end.
Someone should tell Morey that you need to rebound and play defense in the NBA, especially in the playoffs.
Crushing this team is bringing me such joy. I literally can't watch a Rockets game without DVR. They spend a lot of time running into the opposition and waiting to see what the ref will say. On both sides of the ball. Seeing the Lakers play 4-5 mins of continuous basketball in the 2nd qtr brought a tear to my eyes. No whistles. No complaining. Let's flush this team and coach down the drain for good. Basketball will be better for it.
That was beautiful D through 3 quarters. Yes we got sloppy in the fourth which gave them life but nonetheless it was a pretty glorious win and beat down. Let’s close the door on them Saturday.
that last 5 minutes or so was f*cking painful to watch better keep the foot on the gas pedal and close this thing out
This is stupid ball as its finest , Lakers are leaving the midrange era wide open knowing Rockets not named Westbrook won't take the shot. This is the 1st time I've watched entire Rockets games , don't even want to watch Game 5 despite the 3-1 lead. Close them out in 5 and get some rest .
That feeling when your team does small ball better than the team that is known for small balls (ohh you read that right)
Close it out in 5 please. Houston is not a team you wanna give life to - and they can get hot like we saw in the 4th last night, so series is far from over.
What's weird about the Rockets is that they will literally run away from wide open shots from midrange, even if they're only 10 feet from the basket. I understand not wanting to shoot contested 22 footers, but running away from open 10 footers? That to me is bizarre.
