So long that our organization was deprived of this sacred drink that is the NBA. To celebrate the return of our favorite Darling? We will try to offer you, as often as possible, the little report card that goes well, just to make you relive the matches in a slightly lighter way, as light as a noisy fart on the terrace of a bowling alley. . Come on, send the sauce, send the mash, in short, send the notes.
Last stint in the area for the Rockets and Team Notes was certainly not going to pass up this magnificent opportunity to pull out the scalpel. Because Houston’s season is over… but we’re still warming up. Come on send them slaps notes.
James Harden (7) : It’s hard to note above a guy who takes a huge blowout in a playoff game, but if James Harden has a little more fleshed out his resume of defeats he has not much to be ashamed of this game. A failed start to the match but the result was much better and on both sides of the field, but Ramesse was too lonely tonight. Bonus track for the holidays, Alex Caruso is now her adoptive father.
Russell Westbrook (2) : the best action of his game is a falling out with Rajon Rondo’s overly talkative brother. So much to pick up that we really wondered if he was not taking the cabbage with a hologram, Russell Westbrook completely missed out on his series and will have to answer very quickly for his actions in court in the NBA. Postscript: we knew that there was sometimes water in the brain, we now know that it is non-drinkable water.
Eric Gordon (2) : we found the Kiki Gordon we hate, namely the one who does not return a shot and who wanders on the ground like a butcher in a vegan restaurant. Invisible, useless, good holidays anyway.
P.J. Tucker (4) : some fighting, a few rebounds, a few shots here and there but too insufficient a contribution. Life as a pivot of 1.95 in the NBA is not easy every day.
Robert Covington (3) : he defended less well than usual, and he scored less than usual. The Scottie Pippen at the start of the series turned into a drunken Thaddeus Young, and in the semi-final of conf that does not forgive.
Ben McLemore (5) : he initiated the start of the remorada in the second quarter before disappearing again, as since the beginning of his career.
Austin Rivers (4) : began by rubbing himself with Markieff Morris before realizing that he had a good chance of getting blown up. Suddenly he calmed down and left with the MIP trophy of the match.
Jeff Green (5) : he brought his usual ecot off the bench but did not really weigh because there was already +150 for the Lakers when he returned.
Michael Frazier (-) : a basketball player’s first name, a boxer’s name, but if you want an opinion on the player, contact his family directly.
Bruno Caboclo (-): hasn’t played enough for the world to understand that he is the Rockets’ best player. One day you will understand.
Chris Clemons (-) : The man who plays LeBron in Rockets practice taught us one thing this week: that the Rockets practice.
Danuel House Jr. (9) : It’s largely possible that an article titled “Danuel House Becomes a Dad” will be published in 9 months.

Los angeles lakers
LeBron James (8) : while managing the grandfather. Start of the match canon, in the economy then, and on arrival a 29/11/7 without seeming to touch it. He also gave us a scene à la Bourvil when he took a ball on the head in the second half. Because LeBron’s skull is kind of like J-Lo’s butt?
Anthony Davis (5) : more withdrawn than usual and more concentrated by the distribution at the start of the match, but at the same time… why bother to sweat in a pre-season match?
Markieff Morris (7) : 4/4 of the parking lot for his twin’s twin, and two or three courtesies exchanged with his opponents. In the jargon? It’s called an expected performance.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (6) : he defended hard and returned his shots, so much the better because that is exactly what we are asking him to do.
Danny Green (7) : the Lakers are immediately more dangerous when the real Danny Green is on the field. Sharp wrist, still risky approach but a real contribution on both sides of the field.
Rondo Region (5): still as useful off the bench although more discreet than in the last two games, and he even managed to get Russell Westbrook out of his game a little more through his brother. Family affair.
Kyle Kuzma (6) : again a good contribution from the bench, and a role of sixth man in chief that fits him like a glove. Be careful, this sentence does not mean anything if you exchange the words “glove” and “bench”.
Alex Caruso (45): the cons of the match on James Harden, another on Ben McLemore, and always that interstellar flow that would make any fashion victim look like a victim. Even Florent Pagny dedicated a song to him, it’s crazy.
Talen Horton-Tucker (6) : the nice surprise of the Lakers for two games. We are therefore talking about a team that tests its rookie in the middle of the conference semifinals, it proves the level of confidence on the Lakers side.
J.R. Smith (50) : four minutes without losing a ball, at the same time Gérard never managed to locate it.
JaVale McGee (-) : he played the clown on the bench throughout the game with Dwight Howard, and he attempted a 3-point shot when he came home. JaVale McGee has been clowning all night long.
Dwight Howard (-) : He played the clown on the bench throughout the game with JaVale McGee before joining the party at the very end of the game. That’s all the Lakers can offer him now, but it doesn’t seem to bother him.
Jared Dudley (-) : got into the garbage, weird because we could have sworn he was the one who served us our kebab with samurai sauce last night at the truck.
Come on, the Rockets are over, and we will therefore be able to move on to real basketball in the Conf Finals. The good news ? We are back tonight with the notes of… Clippers-Nuggets, a match to be followed live and in full on our antennas from 7pm. What the hell does it feel good to talk like Laurent Luyat.
