Always the best sign

that’s the tell. not the oblique, the haircut.

A new Lego haircut

I love that despite being grown men with tons of money who are media trained and have a public image which needs careful attention, athletes still post stupid shit like new haircut selfies

Shams said this morning he just started basketball activity

Probably week 5 at the earliest. So around game 2 of second round. Just depends on when that series actually starts.

Probably mid way through round 2 apparently he is just starting light on court stuff recently so likely a week if not 2 away as he had a grade 2 injury

10-14 days most likely

No one knows

I doubt he comes back. If they close out tomorrow I assume the okc series starts Saturday and I believe its every other day at that point?

Round 2

He won’t be back unless the lakers make the conference finals. A grade 2 hammy and he has a history of pulled hamstrings as well? 6-8 weeks minimum

no if Rockets win this one with Reaves it would be super interesting.

Very hard to come back from 3-0 down though, one bad quarter and the game is gone.

Not at all.

Rockets are playing against an injured team missing a top 5 player and mvp candidate.

They should absolutely be tied 2-2 right now if it weren’t for some insane level choke plays late in game 3.

Not really crazy. This was supposed to be an “easy” series for the Rockets. Look at all the doomer comments from over the last two weeks. Lakers being up 3-0 is already insane for them. So this being shaky kind of makes sense to begin with.

Ngl I’m feeling quite nervous about game 5. Sure game 4 was really soon after game 3 and it went to OT so lakers might’ve been tired but they still looked so messy and committed so many awful turnovers. I just hope the extra rest plus Reaves coming back plus being at home ends this game early

No you’re not. But if Houston somehow takes it to 7 games, Luka will probably rush back since he’ll likely be cleared or soon to be cleared by then. So Houston loses anyways.

Nah. Lakers looked good the first couple of games. They were gassed last game and got cooked from turnovers and lack of three point shooting. Doubt they’ll be that bad again. All they need to do is play have decent and they’ll get the 4th win over these games.

Considering that everyone with half a brain (rightfully) picked the Rockets to win, I don’t think so. The Lakers have overachieved like hell to this point.

Nah, Lakers have this. No shot they blow it up 3-0

An 80% AR can be enough to finally put those guys out. If not now, then in Game 6. I still like our chances in Game 7 if there is any but I’d rather have our guys have more rest against OKC.

Not at all. People will say that nobody ever comes back from 3-0 but ignoring the context. A team that goes up 3-0 (like OKC over the Suns) is usually a dominant team over the other team. So yeah, it’s hard to beat a better team 4-0. But are the Lakers that much better than the Rockets? I don’t think so. One game at a time.

For a reverse sweep to happen, you need a superstar or 2 to go supernova and a really great head coach to gameplan surprises and counters to whatever the Lakers are going to plan. When Cavs did the 3-1 comeback, Kyrie and Lebron performed out of their minds. Who’s going to step up for the Rockets?

Lakers are gonna drop the gavel in game 5

You wouldn’t be crazy but I still wouldn’t expect an upset. Especially if KD remains out, all it takes is one Reaves or Bron explosion to end the series

A little, probably. I believe in our team to get hot and stay hot(that’s how we’ve been for the past two seasons) before we go cold again, but winning 4 in a row is hard enough, but LeBron is on that team and already single handedly mounted a comeback and beat us once. You get Reeves back and we could steal one more if he’s not on top of his game right away, but to do that two more times in the playoffs is very tough, especially when we don’t have a point guard still, making it very easy to break our offense down.

🤝🏻

Thanks for being a good sport about it. :)

Please show up

What they should have done is rest lebron 5 minutes earlier. The game was clearly lost

Going up 3-1 without Luka and Reaves was best case scenario in my opinion. Maybe sweeping but I’ll take three chances to win one game with two of them in LA.

Tbh the Rockets just shit the bed and they also Shit in the shower After

SECRET PHASE??! NOOOO!!

So does that mean that if luka returns he’s the secret boss that you had to do all the side quest for?

You gotta do 3 rhymes.

KD LIED, CANT HIDE, HOUSTON FRIED,

LAKAS IN FIIiiivvveee👴🏿

Also crazy to me to come back from a Grade 2 in four weeks. I had a Grade 2 on my wrist and I was out 10-12 weeks, and even when I returned I wasn’t 100%. Obviously I’m not a pro getting pro treatment, though.

Is KD done then? If he’s back, and avoids the double team turnovers, I think Rockets are better than LAL without Luka and AR. If KD is out then yeah, you’re cooked.

I do think we can win this series without him, but i think it’s smart for him to get “warmed-up” vs y’all instead of OKC.

It’s kinda why they lost game 4

ime said KD might come back this series however Shams said hes not likely to play game 5

Boy no one is doubting your team is great, but do you have to act this way every chance you get? Cmon man

Rockets have to win 3 in a row lol.

No one down 1-3 in a series is in control lmao.
