Amen ascends to superstar. 29/10/6 on 55% fg. Rockets in 4. He turned on MJ mode in G7 against the Dubs but It was too late to matter. He learned from that and toggled it on during the win streak and there’s no going back. He’s here.
Rockets in 5. KD effectient Amen all around good throughout Sengun 4th quarter closer Tari redemption 4th best player
Rox in 5... KD delivers an efficient 25-35 points each night... a vocal portion of CF still want him traded and Ime fired...
This series hinges on Doncic. If he stays out, then the Rockets take this in a gentleman's sweep. If he comes back around Games 2 or 3, then the Lakers take this. The geezers will cancel each other out because I think Durant will hold back. That leaves Sengun, Thompson, Jabari, and Eason against Kenard, Rui, Smart, and Ayton. It shouldn't be a competition. Rockets in 5.
I think folks are being a little overconfident with this series. Even without Doncic, LeBron is a force of nature. He's 41 years old, yes, but he's playing with his son and this could be his last playoffs ever. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion . . . and LeBron has proven he can be a champion. I think this series has a chance of being much more of a dogfight than many people expect.
