Tall ball verse small ball. It would hurt basketball if Houston were to win this series, despite the severe underdog getting up. This should simply not work. I don't understand having Rondo on the court when you should be posting every single play and kicking to shooters. Danny Green keeps putting up junk off the dribble, surely he realizes the Rockets want him to put up any shot that isn't an open 3. The Rockets were getting open looks and Lakers were taking bad shots, that sums it up. LeBron's jacking up 3's when they have no rim protection. Davis puts up good numbers, but there's no one on the court who can possibly defend him, he settles and passes off too much and his teammates couldn't make shots. Gotta say, the Lakers threw in the towel in this one though. The Rockets actually match the Lakers on the boards and get 13 steals as well. Harden with an efficient 36 points.
