I Don't Care What Happens Game 1 Against The Lakers

There going to be tired, and probably lose. But dont let them blow you out, try to make it a close game and try to win it. They will be rested and harder than okc.

 

its going to be refreshing to have a new challenge and have a healthy Gordon and Westbrook and this experience and not having Chris Paul hanging around our neck...

But its definitely going to be the next tier of competition.

 

Rondo gonna throw a punch or spit someone in the face.

 

One thing I'm looking forward too is being done with the quick offensive scoring guards of OKC.

Lakers do not have a CP3, Shai, or that devil Schroder.

Our new challenge will be LeBron, Davis, McGee, and Dwert.

 

Lakers can blow us out all four games and I'll be disappointed but not emotionally crippled like a loss to the OKC Thunder would have made me.

Lakers match up wise is better for us but they are definitely more talented. Rockets can win if they absolutely catch fire from three and they are able to contain Davis enough to benefit on the scoring disparity of 3s vs 2s.

 

Can Davis make it through another 7 game series?

 

Only thing I'm worried about is the scrubs... Scrubs seem to have career games against us... And Lakers have plenty of them

It's like from going from.small to big.

OKC is exceptionally annoying, I don't ever want to see them again.

I look forward to the Lakers series to test out our small ball.

 

Perfect chance to steal a game. We have just been through war they have been chillin smokin cigars by the pool.

 

True.

KCP is shooting 40+% from 3.

Some no name always going to go off.

Always.

In LA's case those scrubs are actually relatively talented.

Waiters, Caruso, KCP, Danny Green, Kuz.....

 

Sure but KCP can't penetrate by blowing by our D.

RoCo got SMOKED by CP3 and Schroeder, to the point where I was begging for him to get pulled tonight. Thank god he found his shot mid-series because he was a big liability on D with the way CP was doing him. This problem is now instantly gone, RoCo is a very good defender on bigger players. Our new problem is going to be LBJ, Davis, and the big doofuses.

 

exactly. this would've hurt too much. i really think i would have had trouble watching next year. now that weight is off. lakers are better than us, no shame in losing to a team where top 5 guys are just running to play for them no matter how badly they've been managed for almost a decade. hopefully the baggage of trying to redeem last year's trade is gone and frees us up a bit.

okc was always a bad matchup, especially once it became clear the refs (and the media for some reason) were ride or die for chris paul and anything he tried. throw in lu dort popping into existence as the greatest harden defender ever and somehow hitting 6 3's in a game 7, and it's a huge relief we won without westbrook for basically 6 games.

 

I thought Dame and McCollum would give them more problems, they did in spurts but yeah their bigs did well.

I fully expect more blowouts, more games won or lost by 10 pts, 6-8 pts.

Not this Oklahoman 2 or 3 pt thrillers at the end.

 

I expect Caruso to be the new Dort

Rocket River

 

The Avery Bradley replacement.

 

We have to jack more 3s than we've ever jacked before. Jack 'em till arms and legs fall off.

 

I don't see the Lakers matching up against us like OKC does. They really don't have the perimeter defenders or anyone that can really bother Harden. Harden has had career games against Lebron and Anthony Davis.

 

If we can end up at 1-1 initially, then the series will become interesting.
