Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s.
April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.”
April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.”
April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!”
April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!”
April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.”
May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!”
May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”
Let there be no revisionist history about this series, Houston was a massive -600 favorite coming into it. Impressive as hell for the Lakers to have won the series like this. JJ coached circles around Ime, LeBron set the tone, whole team stepped up. GO LAKERS
@noah_riley32 The play in every year has been so fun to watch. The lakers have been the 7 seed twice and I was a little frustrated with the idea of missing the playoffs but I’m always down for more meaningful hoops. I’m for it. I agree with you
