“If this Lakers team blows a 3-0 lead to this Rockets team and you don’t even have Durant on the floor, good luck to LeBron scrubbing this one out because this will be a stain on a lot of what he has done.”
@NickFriedell explains:
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.”
Lebron is amazing. Never been a guy so good for so long. I don't like downplaying what he has done. But MJ was an absolute maniac killer, and you young people just dont get it. Hype up LBJ, he deserves it. But this MJ assault every time is something I can't not speak on.
Checking in on the NBA’s old timers…
Durant’s flirting with 10 turnovers in his first playoff game as a Rocket.
Steph’s at Coachella.
Kawhi’s planting trees.
LeBron is averaging 39 MPG & 24-8-10 to go up 2-0 without his team’s 2 leading scorers.
