With a win today we will likely end the Rockets era of Harden/Westbrook + D’Antoni.... it’s gonna be a beautiful day today if we can make it happen.
It will also likely be the end to small ball as a only option. Small ball will be used during the game when it's a good offense against a particular defense. The concept will not disappear all together.
They just didn't adjust much so far - not sure if they will...
They won't D'Antoni is a one-trick pony. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

“There was audible shouting in the postgame locker room...I’m told Rockets players were holding each other accountable to bring better body language, bring better effort on the floor.”
Our NBA Insider @ShamsCharania reports from the bubble ahead of Lakers-Rockets Game 5.
Don't underestimate the Rockets; they will come out firing on all cylinders.
Yeah this will not be easy. I hope the Lakers don’t think the rockets are going to quit and go home.
I wouldn’t mess around tonight if I’m the Lakers. Don’t let them back in it and risk a game 6 hot shooting night...
Agreed. If there is a team in the bubble that can win 3 consecutive games, it's the Rockets. They have the talent and ability. We can't take our foot off their throat so to speak.

Yep.
Rockets don't have cylinders. They have nozzles and can only carry limited amounts of fuel and oxygen. The Rockets are going to flame out, fall back towards Earth and crash today.

Pre Game Notes
Per Trudell
Frank Vogel said the Lakers played both big and small all regular season (starting with a big, but often going to small groups within games) in part to prep for playoff situations where they had to do more of one style. Bigger vs. Portland, smaller vs. Houston, etc.
Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said he’d save any thoughts on the Danuel House, Jr. situation until later: “We have one mission to do and that’s to win a game, and that’s all we’re thinking about."
Frank said that he decided to start Markieff rather than Kuzma when going small because "Keef is like in between Kuz and our centers. So we still have some size and rebounding, and we keep Kuz in his role, so there is value for both of those guys in doing it the way we do it."
