    Funniest outcome would be Durant getting swept as a heavy favorite minus LUKA and AR

    Rockets are pretty sad getting whooped by a undermanned Lakers team.  Udoka can't coach

    Rockets past KD and Sengun have maybe the worst supporting cast in the league. They have a couple guys that can defend but no one else can score. If they can’t beat LeBron and the LA bench they weren’t beating anyone

    They got me for a few hundred so far… I doubled up yesterday on them moneyline….. …. Didn’t watch one play… but with the lakers missing two starters…and Houston not competetive…… it is a head scratcher…. Done betting nba… after week one…. Had Boston moneyline in a few plays as well…. Looks like they were trounced.    I’ve played enough nba over the years to know better…. Every time I dip back in…. I immediately regret it….. I again regret it…. Don’t watch.  Don’t catch scores…. Don’t get tempted… just don’t.  For me.   Prob lost 500$ on nba week 1.

    As Boston knows, when it counts, Udoka can't coach with rotations in mind.

    Rockets bench is meh.

    Like, why is Jeff Green always sitting.

     Jabari and amen are top shelf confused

    Success is never final, failure is never fatal, and it's the courage that counts.

    ive watched the rockets give up alot of leads the last 2 months..im sure you all have too, they're unreliable and I think  Durant isn't  great leader and i just don't see the cohesiveness there. Everyone of those guys on the Lakers are playing hard.

    rockets are somewhat young imo i know durant there but jabari smith and amen thompson are good man but folk blasting lakers starters. smart and kennard no slouches. ayton can be dominant yet inconsistent. i dont know why reed shepard only gets 11 min especially when not scoring. imo things will flip flop in Houstan if not coach Udoka gotta go. too much talent around them. Otherwise that trade to suns shipping out brooks and jalen green whose lighting it up not looking so good
