What is the NBA’s equivalent to “Can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?” (alien.top)

For those who aren’t familiar, british soccer commentator Andy Gray said this of Messi back in 2010/11, questioning whether Messi could dominate in tough conditions against a physical premier league club. It’s now a popular joke within the soccer and internet community.

For the NBA, is it “Can he do it after a night out in Miami?” “Can he do it on the second night of a back to back in Denver?” “Can he do it after the Lakers sent missed foul call video evidence to the league?” Something else?

I assume it's similar for other teams, outside of the teams involved, that the Texas Triangle is never a fun road trip. If it's not something that other fanbases know about, it's a road trip with games at San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. At least 1 of the 3 has been a playoff team over the last 30 years and with Wemby, Luka and Houston's glut of young talent, it's likely to continue to be a less than fun road trip.

So, Can he do across the Texas Triangle?
