No offense, but Draymond's analysis is more show than substance. Jokic obviously needs to D up but anyone could have told you that. Since Draymond is auditioning for his next job, he might be more entertaining behind the desk than on the floor.

Lakers underacheive, underestimate the lowly Rockets. Lakers outsize them enormously but the game is not only about size but execution. I would think the Lakers would take this series and I don't underestimate the will of Lebron.

OTOH, the Bucs seem overmatched by the Heat. The Heat's starters are an excellent fighting machine. I don't know if the Bucs get swept, but I do think the Heat will eliminate them. This will fill the Warrior fans with hope that Giannis will leave. To me, he doesn't seem like that type of guy. And how do you replace a guy like him? You build around him and come back next year stronger.

Also, I see people comparing Bud to Kerr and I don't get it. Last year in the second round Kerr basically played a 7 man rotation before KD went down, a big departure from "Strength In Numbers". He's not nearly as stubborn as he's labeled, whereas Bud seems to be.

Pointless to say this halfway into the game but I think the Lakers will have a lot of trouble with the Rockets. The 3PA discrepancy is huge, in 2018 the Warriors lost every game where the Rockets attempted way more threes than them and won when it was close.

On the other hand, curious how the fatigue affects the Rockets in this second half.
