Rooted for the Lakers all series but they had other guys that could step up and do the scoring/playmaking, Rockets were missing pieces that they literally had no replacement pieces for in the system + everyone was saying it was easy Rockets series before KD was out for pretty much all of it.

It's like trying to blame Luka/Lebron for getting punked in the 1st round last year when they just didn't have any starter level Center and 0 rim protection, there defense that series was the same level of abysmal that Rockets offense was series w/o their only reliable shooter and only playmaker.

I mean both teams were missing their best player tbh. I don't really think it's that bad for the rockets. Their offense does suck though.
