Could that lead to Complacency? I wil be very worried if the team does not take every game seriously simply by thinking they could repeat. No team is going to hand them out anything for free and there is no such thing as cake walk. Every win must be earned. Infact, didn’t we remember teams use the Lakers as their measuring stick most of the time? When it comes to the Lakers every team give it their all. So the Lakers must always come out ready to play.
However, I completely agree with LeBron the team could repeat, if not three peat.
It seems like such a simple strategy. The Rockets want to shoot 40 to 50 threes per game so to beat them, just run them off the 3-point line. Until the last two games, nobody has been able to do that. Frank Vogel has had the answer the last two games,
