    This sounds TOO Much like a Houston Sports Playoff Scenario.

    Don't give the Sports Gods any ideas ;)

    If the rockets can't win in a dominant fashion against the lakers without Doncic and Reeves, then it's really a time to break up the team.

    Just our luck it would be insane if LeBron went out there and avg. like 30 & 10 & 10 and Bronny looked like a decent NBA Player :(

    Don't forget the NBA would LOVE to say LeBron & Bronny were the 1st Father & Son teammates to WIN a Playoff Series.
    So just know the refs may even be blatantly obvious with their bias to help the Lakers as much as possible

    Are you assuming that the Thunder’s plane will crash or some new super virus from China will afflict the Thunder’s hotel?

    In case Adam Silvers is reading this and the NBA is rigged. Lakers will re-tool for Luka next season, change of ownership and scouting, new cap space opened, they're buiding around Luka. There will be future years; it's a longer term investment.

    Kevin Durant is still very good. Durant facing the Thunder in the 2nd round, a team that drafted him is the much better stroyline.

    Think about it Adam (and referees)

    Rockets need to go scorched earth on the Lakers. Need to outrun, out hustle and never take the foot off the gas the whole game, every game. No half court BS. Run til your legs fall off.

    Rockets have a legit chance to be in two playoffs series.

    I like it. The more we can learn, the better.

    Happy we get a real shot at two playoff series. I won’t be happy if we play poorly against the Lakers.
