Since lakers whooped on cavs all season does that mean that rockets wouldve beat cavs?? Especially w/ yao?

You can never compare teams by who they beat. Every team has a different style, some styles are better against others. That's why you see top seeded teams losing to someone who barely made the playoffs. in my opinion the cavs would beat both the lakers and rockets, even though they had some close loses to the lakers in the regular season
