Gameplan: Dominate the boards and win big on points in the paint
Reality: Boards tied, Houston won points in paint.
****** Brutal
Reality: Houston matches up better against LA, than LA matches up against Houston.
How can LA guard against Houston?

Remember. Lebron is 15-18 in Game 1s of a playoff series.
A rusty Rondo last night didn't help.
Believe it or not, Rondo had a decent game. Topped his ppg and his 3pt percentage on the year.
I still wouldn't bet my money on Houston to win this series, but man it's close. That wasn't just a "oh we didn't play well" game. Lakers did not have an answer for Houston's small ball offense AND defense. They need to figure that out, and im not convinced they have the personnel to do it.
Lakers are done. Clippers are gonna win it all and Leonard, not lebron. Will win a title with 3 different teams.
... the Clippers though.. Not sure Houston would get even a game on them. All about matchups, and The Rockets do NOT match up well there.
That luckky 3 for raptors might change the season. 2 2 now and momentum Heavily with raptors.
Murray behind the back pass to Jokic... Jokic cross course pass to Gary Harris.. triple. Great ball movement.
Watched some of the Bucks Heat game. The first NBA game I've watched in a while and definitely my last. I can't believe how racist the league has become. It's just awful. I predict the ratings will stay in the gutter forever.
Well when I was watching I was focused on the excellent basketball game that was playing out, but okay
Yeah Heat are fine played good and we don't want a sweep thats less games to watch.I for one like the daily double header get to watch games and see beautiful weather this coming week.
Gotta think Lakers bounce back tonight,I'm hoping to see a Lakers n Heat finals.Herro earning respect fast though like watching Spoalstra leave him in down the stretch.Bams stat line lead Miami though.Go Cats!!
I haven’t watched the NBA in a long time. Maybe 10 minutes here or there. Just wasn’t into it. I’ve watched more this time around with the bubble than I can remember. I love the set up, the caliber of basketball, etc. Not sure if I’ll watch again when it goes back to a normal year, but this definitely has my attention.
I like the absence of a home court advantage.
Rondo 6 assists in the blink of an eye.
Then hits a 3 at the buzzer,

For whatever reason I just never got into the NBA. Perhaps because I was such a big UK fan as a kid and there were no real NBA teams in my area especially after the Cincinnati Royals left. Without having a team, I just never enjoyed it enough to sit and watch games unless it was the playoffs and generally just the finals. Great athletes, great skill just do not have the connection that I developed as a kid to baseball and football. I do enjoy seeing UK players do well and will follow them casually but no true rooting interest. And without a rooting interest I do not really watch any sports for just entertainment.
Robert Covington completely transformed this Rockets team defensively. He's a perfect fit for them alongside the two stars (although Russ has been the opposite tonight). I'm not sure he will get the credit he deserves for this
LeBron still being this athletic is ridiculous
I remember watching Rondo catching alley-oops from Patrick Sparks. They always had great chemistry
