    Our home advantage in game 7 consists of having LeBron and not having Harden.

    LeBron and Harden chucking 3s to determine the series ..... this is right where we want them.

    1. We have a size advantage at every position
    2. Our defense is elite.
    3. They have no answer for Lebron.
    4. They have no answer for AD.

    Lakers in 4 blowouts.
    I'd be surprised if we even lose 1 game.

    Our role players can't make open shots , it's at least a 6 games series .

    I'd be VERY surprised if we won Game 1 as we are going to do everything we shouldn't do against them

    I'm not too worried about winning this series. I think we should win for a variety of reasons and the rest is out of my control. My only concern is whether or not we can end it swiftly enough that we get as much rest as the Clippers. The Rockets make you burn a lot of calories to beat them.

    don't forget their smug, grandstanding general manager.

    this is good and supports my repeated point: you can't beat them at their game. dantoni has been prepping his whole life to play this way. he's going to win if you go small.

    season series was 2-1 houston, with them beating us comfortably in the last two (after they committed to microball). we're also missing our best perimeter defender (well, second-best (eagle)).

    If Harden and Westbrook play like they have been, we take them in 5.

    IF they get going in this series, it goes 6.

    Time for AD to stay offensively engaged the entire game. This is the series he can really pile on the stats. And we go after Tucker early, they're f***ed. Hell, we might even get a Chandler sighting.

    I want Rondo to punch Harden, Westbrick, or MDA. He does that and he's my series MVP, damn the stats.

    I'd love to see Chandler on the floor. First of all he's a good dude, and second... it means they lost the game.

    All Golden State fans , Kawhi fans ,a few hundred of Clippers fans, Bron haters,Lakers haters and Spurs fans want Houston to win,and some people who always rooting for underdogs.
    So basically it is entire world vs Lakers.
