There’s also a real debate:
👉 If the Rockets win this series, will it feel legit—or will people say they got “lucky”?
This is the kind of matchup that can shift narratives fast. Either Houston proves they’re ready… or the questions get louder.

Two of our major key players are out as well. FVV and Steven Adams. Boo hoo. Play ball
To say it’s not worth playting Luka as if the Lakers shouldn’t try and win now with LeBron is some casual crap to say. Everyone should be wanting the Lakers to play as hard as the oldest player in the league has.
