As we know, LAC let Game 6 and a trip to the WCF slip away
w/LAC up 89-70, “inpredict” metrix numbers had Clips odds of winning Gm 6 at 99.3%
That doesn’t factor in the foul issues on Harden & Howard, or the toxic mindset of Houston in general
Houston simply pulled off the unthinkable
This must be a sobering wake-up for LAC
Houston at HOME may be under as much pressure as LA
Really just think a BETTER TEAM - LAC - wins this Game 7
LAC has been better in each proficiency department, most notably:
LAC OTR +6%
LAC eFG +26%
Simply put, as square as it might feel,
Taking the Vet Team vs a group of erratic individuals
Taking the team w/recent Championship Winning Head Coach
Who has had an extra day to gear up for Game 7
LA big Sunday
