    I don't even want to watch any more games. The Ime offense with no offensive players is like pulling teeth

    Jerry Sloan Mehmet Okur shooting threes over Big and Slow Yao. Over and Over.

    Very similar how Steve Kerr Buddy Hield destroyed Ime Udoka Steven Adams.

    Jeff Van Gundy is Ime Udoka

    Game over. Rockets will be lucky to fly back to LA for a Game 5.

    TWICE they've changed the initial call in favor of the Lakers this game. I've never seen that before.

    ??? We got an all star, shooters in Jabari and Reed, Amen Thompson.

    If the coaching wasnt abysmal this team would look good. Clearly they werent even prepared or did any good practice before the game. They even had all that time off as well lol.

    Never seen refs change their minds as much as when lakers whine.

    The lakers must be scouting lawyers...

    If Luka and Reeves come back the NBA might just call this series. Save Houston from the embarrassment
