OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[P C H]

They told me Trump had no chance of winning in 2016.

He did lose the popular vote by a historic margin

He did lose the popular vote by a historic margin

They had us at 48 wins this season, Bro. Shaky.

Naw there's more that they've been way off about as well.
It was on Twitter about all the things they've been wrong about. I wouldn't trust it.

 

[Nipsey3000]

The rockets can’t really shoot though. That makes me kind of shaky. I just think they’ll shoot soooo many more 3s than the Lakers that it’ll ultimately be a net win

I agree. More like avg. But, 36% on 51 attempts in the bubble. Improved defensively, Westbrook will be in better shape. I don't think it's far fetched.

 

[Nipsey3000]

How much you putting up?

I'm not a betting man. I just enjoy the games.

I respect you tryna convince yourself this gon happen for them to win 4 games

Show in 6

 

[HOU$TON]

Lakers offense is terrible as well...

I’m trolling with 538. My reasoning for picking rox has nothing to do with them lol

 

[HIM]

Man ya'll giving Adams too much credit. I have no faith in him catching the ball and finishing with the time left on the game clock.

What about giving him the ball at the 3 point line?

 

[P C H]

It’s more so their halfcourt offense I think which plays into Houston’s defense.

I like Houston’s defense against the Lakers offense

 

[trynafeelmink]

So let me get this straight..... The Lakers can't guard the Rockets from three, despite them very clearly shutting down Portland in Rd 1 who were a better shooting team all season and who's star duo is far more efficient shooting the ball than Russ/Harden .

Basically everyone's "Hope" for the Rockets is hoping they get extremely hot for a series........ they couldn't get extremely hot vs a tam that employed CP3, SGA, & German Rondo to close games.... but they will surely do it after a 7 game series......... vs one of the better defenses in the league.

The Lakers have two physically dominating players in AD/Bron who literally average almost 30 ppg for their playoff careers....... but they won't be able to stop a guy who got outplayed by Lou Dort in a crucial game?

Man it's much easier to just say you want the Lakers to lose , but watching them play there are very few logical reasons as to why anyonehas the Rockets winning

 

[P C H]

Blahhhhhh

 

[abubakr shaheed]

Rockets favored!!! Gimme some odds on lakers easy money

All facts

 

[dman14]

wow, did not know he's only 21 and left school after a yr. thought he was like 28 with that man body

 

[Peep Game]

Lakers offense is terrible as well...

I think this is one of the in-house guys I wanted as their head coach once MDA is fired again

 

[akajae]

Was P C H more confident in 2015 or 2020?

I can’t decide.

 

[Mr Dink]

Rockets took an OKC team with Chris Paul and a bag of chips to 7 games.

Y'all really think that they're not only beating the Lakers with Lebron James and Anthony Davis in 6, but Rockets are beating them period.

Portland shot 38% from 3 on 30 attempts. That's not exactly a shut down

 

[trynafeelmink]

On another note..... let's not have it lost that both CP3 & Harden with less than a minute left in the game both tried to draw flops on a crucial possession. Those losers deserved each other

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

So it looks like the 2 best teams in the NBA really are LAL and LAC.
Boston looking good 2. I dont think Miami will sustain but then again it's the bubble so who knows

watching how one team performs against another in one series isn’t the best indicator for how they’ll do for another and Houston was solidly better than OKC in that series.

 

[Mr Dink]

I got Nuggets beating the Clippers.

 

[tramericanjr]

“Home teams” in the playoffs
17-8 in the west
8-13 in the east

 

[lawdog1]

I got Nuggets beating the Clippers.

Why?
