Stephen A. Smith puts LeBron on blast for how he handled Rockets, Dillon Brooks
ROYAL FLUSH
30 January
Dillon Brooks got under the Lakers' skin once again, helping the Rockets secure a victory over LeBron James and company on Monday night.
And let's just say Stephen A. had thoughts on LeBron James' performance. “Houston whiped their ass last night,” said Smith. LeBron knew what to expect against Brooks, and yet the team had no answers. Not only did Dillon Brooks play the villain role to perfection, but the Lakers got annihilated in this game.
Smith goes on to say he's not a fan of some of Dillon Brooks' tactics to upset his opponents, but at the end of the day, the Lakers got demolished by the Rockets and have no excuses.
Be sure to watch the video above for Stephen A. Smith's full reaction!
Early breakdown of how Astros stack up against potential playoff opponents
Sep 17, 2024, 5:03 pm
With only a dozen games left in the regular season, the playoff matchups the Astros could find themselves in are becoming clear.
It's looking more likely that Houston will be hosting either the Tigers, Twins, or Mariners.
Out of these three teams, which club gives the Astros the best chance to move on to the next round?
The Twins may have a winning record (4-2) against the 'Stros this season, but over the last 30 days, they haven't been playing well.
They are 28th in team ERA (4.96), and 21st in team OPS (.676). The Mariners and Tigers are much better than Minnesota in both categories. It's important to pay attention to how teams are playing as the regular season comes to an end.
But there are other factors to consider. Carlos Correa is back from injury, and the Twins have some big arms that have given the Astros trouble in the past.
This is one video you don't want to miss as we examine the Astros potential playoff matchups and try to determine which team would give Houston the best shot to advance to the divisional series.
