For years some of y’all have been “uck those picks” and the minute Rob trades them for the perfect center next to Luka and AR it’s “wow that’s too much”.
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.”
Reaves, who suffered a Grade 2 left oblique strain on April 2, was originally expected to have a 4-6 week recovery timeline.
Exactly three weeks from the injury, Reaves is now on pace to return tomorrow night against the Rockets, barring no setbacks in shootaround.
