Well, this proves Houston is at least on LA's level

[Walk on Water]

LA got up to such a start. Up 21 and then barely pulled it off. Rockets showed they have no trouble coming back from down 21. Better respect that. Series is tied at 1 to 1 and Lakers fans acting like it's over. Lebron put his ALL into it and they barely won.

Do you realize that Lebron would lose if his attitude was like yours and thought he didn't have to even try or put effort into it? Lakers fans should show some respect. Lucky to not be down 0-2. Show some humility.

[highwhey]

interesting, can you elaborate further?

No you're right. I didn't watch the game tonight but was ready to cringe opening up the ESPN box score. Rockets are a very scary team. And fans defintely are overconfident, especially users on this site. I think most of them are trolling tho.

[BigtimeNBAFan]

I don't think anybody thinks it is over. It will be a hard fought series. People are more laughing at those that acted like the Rockets were winning the series because they won game 1.

[Marchesk]

Rockets attempted 26 more threes than the Lakers this game. Live by the analytics, die by the three.

[Tobio-Star]

Not really. Sure this proves Houston is a real contender but it looks very bad that they shot this well and still lost by 8 (they were up by 2 going into the 4th).

I know the Rockets wont shoot as well anytime soon. Proof? They were hot in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and completely cooled off in the 4th. They sustained that for only 2 quarters.

And dont forget Rondo is getting his groove back and looks like Dort when hes on Harden. If Im the Rockets rn, Im more than worried

Lakers were doubling Harden the whole game. Rondo didn't do shit.

Bron's lackadaisical effort was glaring in the first quarter, but he turned it up on both ends on the 4th.
The Rockets hit almost two dozen threes this game and still lost. It's not gonna happen again in this series, them hitting that much three ball.

On the contrary. Rondo was a +28. He also forced a turnover, maybe a couple from James Harden that led to easy baskets.

Rockets will adjust for Rondo. Rondo won't be as effective next game. Problem for Lakers is that Rondo/Caruso is good for the Lakers defensively, but a huge hole offensively. Neither of them can shoot. Don't be surprised to see Rockets do zone defense rest of the series. They will stack the paint and dare Lakers to shoot.

Lakers need to adjust as well because it seems we will need someone else to start for McGee. I say put Morris in there at 4 and move AD to 5. Morris could be big from 3pt line next game before Rockets adjust for him too. It will have to be him or Kuzma

[GimmeThat]

no, it proves every time there's an isolation play, there's someone that wants to learn or play the game of basketball

But if they lose the series 4-1 then it proves that they're not on LA's level.
