    I mean don't get me wrong, lol nothing about this team would surprise me. But I don't think much of this lakers squad, I think they're a "fake contender" even more so than us lol. I'd rather play them instead of OKC, Spurs, Nuggets for example... I don't know. Refs will have an impact for sure, but if the team locks in, I think they can beat the Lakers. Lakers defense kind of sucks, you're right about Udoka though. He'll need to step his game up.

    And I don't think Lebron is shooting like 18/18 against us again for them to barely beat us....

    Goofy ass :D

    He was always smiling, even during the losing. (*except that time he cried and the time he tried to be fake hard ass pounding the table lol)

    Now we got the opposite. Always angry, always scowling, just as fake hard ass.

    Thanks dude, he's actually taking it better than I am weirdly, I've had a lot of people die on me this last 12 months, starting to wear thin.

    I’d much rather play the Lakers than those other teams for sure, and I was very confident about beating them in a playoff series for the longest for many reasons, especially since we were projected to have HCA in a potential series

    this squad just gives off 15-16 vibes to me, but with better overall talent…if younger Harden had this roster, I think he would’ve pushed out around 58 wins

    Much needed easy opponent and win.

    I am still concerned that they are struggling to do very basic fundamentals like inbound the ball - pass when the double comes- move the ball…. Screens on both ends of the floor seem to mystify them.

    They have actually regressed in these areas. Feels like a lack of detailed coaching, poor communication and focus - and a roster that isn’t well crafted.

    Regardless - grateful to get to watch one of the best shooters in NBA history, an emerging Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard.

    Friends? Yeah he actually has a lot of friends. A lot of former players and teammates like him.

    Houston has really laid back media - so it isn’t discussed at all, but his personal life appears to be pretty miserable and he has made some really poor decisions.

    Grumpy or pissed off is fine if you really are good at X’s and O’s and teaching. Pat Riley - Phil Jackson - Larry Brown - Chuck Daley - Jerry Sloan - Rick Carlisle…. All were grumpy, surly and difficult, but they were very good at actual coaching or organizing. If the players decide Udoka isn’t good at it - he will loose the respect of the team.
