their the ultimate wildcard.
harder and friends can get hot for 3 for a week and it will be tough to beat when you only have 2 guys you can rely to score even if thos dude are bonafide star you need 3 and 4th chipping in here and thereTo be the champs you got to beat the champs

Could be repeat of Portland but I always thought Houston had a punchers chance

AD could go off for 40 and still lose because Houston just has more offensive punch as a team. The Lakers are thin.
The Lakers will play better than this, but I've got a feeling they may not push Houston as hard as OKC just did."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Also pretty clear that team is not mentally tough enough. Raps last year and now the Heat just win every game in the fourth quarter. That’s on the coach but the players are folding, too. They need a Lowry or Smart or Butler or Tucker.

He is one problem. Watch his post game presser. Baffling.

Houston is a lot better than Portland. So LA should be worried. They got destroyed. Danny Green is no Lu Dort. Harden had his way with him. But unlike Portland, Houston knows how to play defense. Tucker and Covington are pretty good athletes. And they both can do a decent job on AD/Lebron. Won't stop them, but can make life difficult for them.
I think that series goes 6 or 7. If Harden continues to play well, and I think he should since he's not going to be defended by elite guys, I can see Houston winning that series.
The one thing I really noticed is that Howard/McGee won't really help much in this series. They might get a lob dunk or two.. but Houston's 5 out offense really negates their rim protection. And they are to slow to chase guys off the 3 point line.
And Rondo really hurts the Lakers on offense since he can't shoot. Having him and Lebron share a court just doesn't make much sense, since Lebron will be doing most of the facilitating. Rondo is going to get wide open looks all game long. And I think that plays into Houston's game plan.

The only thing worse than going to a already good team to try and win a chip would be going to an already good team that just beat you....come to Toronto Giannis, don't be a KD....
There is a chance the Bucks trade him out to the Western conference. Some team might want to pull a Kawhi and get him for a year. And then see if they can hold on to him. Dallas would be the ideal fit next to Doncic. Should be a fascinating off season.
That 4th quarter was so devastating for Milwaukee last night.
