    Giannis is leaving in FA next summer probably if Milwaukee loses out. Probably join LeBron and Davis in LA

    What I'm tripping on is the fact that both LeBron and AD were heading to the bench down 13 with 2:20 or so remaining. Like wtf...????

    How in the hell the Rockets can play defense like that without a Center... They all rebound too.

    All their players have great upper body strength so they cannot be bullied in the post. Their D is really great. Great team effort for the rebounds as well.

    Didn't Harden and Westbrook win the first game the last time they and LeBron met in the playoffs?

    Yes, in 2012. But, the Heat were a super team. Lakers arent as good as that Miami team. Not nearly.

    Nope. I dont dislike him as much as I do Westbrook and Harden, and even rooted for him on the Cavs against the Warriors. But, going to the Lakers. I can't support a Laker, ever.

    And, if I tried to defend Lebron he would run me over like a freight train.
