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.

The Houston Astros are set to promote left-handed pitcher Colton Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land to make his major league debut on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Gordon, 26, has been impressive this season with the Space Cowboys, posting a 4-0 record and a 2.55 ERA over 42⅓ innings, along with 43 strikeouts and a 1.20 WHIP. He last pitched on May 9, delivering six innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.
A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, Gordon was selected by the Astros in the eighth round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of the University of Central Florida.
Gordon's promotion comes as the Astros navigate a stretch of 17 consecutive games without a day off. The team plans to utilize a six-man rotation during this period, and Gordon's addition helps fill the gap left by Hayden Wesneski, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow soreness.
He will face Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen, who enters the game with a 3-3 record and a 3.57 ERA over 45⅓ innings this season.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. CT at Daikin Park.
