I think it was less that they didn't have an inside game, and more the fact that they had a 0% chance of ever stopping Lebron and AD with their microball lineup.

Is the Lakers defense doing anything special or is Houston's offense just really bad?

I wonder if Houston regrets the CP3 trade. And now what'll they do? Trade Westbrook for something lol? I don't think Houston's winning anything if Harden's your true #1 and they keep doing iso-ball. West is also going to get tougher

Also, these are probably D'Antoni's final days with Houston

It's Westbrook or bust for Houston. No one's taking that albatross of a contract without some ridiculous sweetners, of which the Rockets have nothing. No draft picks, no interesting young players, and no avenue to get better. It's looking pretty bad for the Rockets' future.

How can James "best scorer since MJ" Harden only have two made shots in a vital playoff game?

DAntoni a goner.

Expect he’ll end up in Indy.

Let the trade rumors begin.

Seriously glad the Cs won’t have to face the Rockets in the finals. Our worst matchup.

Still seeing the glass as full!

One (of the many) things that drives me nuts about James Harden is his inability to finish after contact. He seems more concerned about selling the foul call and getting his free throws, then concentrating on completing the shot.

Westbrook will earn $47 million during the final year of his contract  :o ???

He’s a mediocre scoring guard. I thought that before the Jazz series, I thought that during the Jazz series, and I think that now.

He went off against the Jazz because those two teams played some of the worst playoff defense I have ever seen until game 7.  Just no effort by either the players or the coaches to get stops.

Still don't see the logic of a best-of-7 series.

It's 3-1 to the Clippers and this game just doesn't bring any expectations or excitement. These games are just superfluous.
Same goes for next Lakers-Rockets game. Everybody is aware that the series has been decided.

Less is more. Just change it to best-of-5.
