Clutch woes, fourth quarter collapses, bad losses, and they are going to face a team that runs a ton of zone.
The Houston Rockets this season have seen the third most zone in the NBA behind the Detroit Pistons that Zena just brought up and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
They are 26th in terms of zone efficiency in the NBA.
They are terrible at scoring against the zone.
And the Lakers, with J.J.
Redick at the helm, have been running a lot of zone lately.
I think they're going to do that.
They're going to force Houston to shoot.
Of course, Kevin Durant will have a great series.
He's had a great season for the Rockets.
He's had to do so much for them.
But I just do not see how the Rockets score.
And I'm very, very curious how they're going to be able to break this zone.
So I know no Luka.
I know no Austin Reeves.
But I actually think there's a chance the Lakers will win this series.
In fact, my bold prediction is the Lakers will win this series.
LeBron can beat the Rockets.
