Rockets-Clipper Series

[Scoop27]

Will go with the Rockets in 6 games

[sk1]

I will be at the game tonight. Go Rockets!

[slingshot]

With CP injured Rockets should have a shot. Rockets in 6 sounds about right... then lose to GS in 4.

[Saggy Aggie]

Lol the rockets have no chance with CP healthy?

I'm still waiting on Emerson to respond to my bet....

[Roughneck93]

Chris Paul ruled out for Game 1....

[slingshot]

Lol the rockets have no chance with CP healthy?

I'm still waiting on Emerson to respond to my bet....Didn't say that... doesn't matter anyway because he is injured. Will say they have a snowball's chance in... (well you know) against GS.

[Saggy Aggie]

No CP3 and lose at home. That's not good

[Roughneck93]

Ouch...:thmbdwn:

[Scoop27]

Went to bed before the game ended. Got way out of hand

[slingshot]

No CP3 and lose at home. That's not goodRuh-Roh...

[Roughneck93]

:cheerl:

[Scoop27]

What a exciting comeback in the second half even though I feel asleep in the 4th quarter

[caleb_mccaig]

Hahaha I love Matt Barnes talking trash to Harden's mom.

Of course Houston is butthurt about it. If you don't want it happening don't put an easy target in the crowd. Trash talk 101.

[Macarthur]

I'm with Saggy. Assuming CP3 gets to play, the Clips should win this. I think the biggest issue for Houston is that they lack a PG.

[Scoop27]

And they miss a lot of free throws

Hope Houston can win game 4 and go hack to houston tied up 2-2 and regain home court

[Roughneck93]

Another horrible display.

[Saggy Aggie]

Kevin mchale looks clueless out there

[Emerson1]

Mark Cuban was right after all. It's Harden and a bunch of average players. Rockets need to go ahead and thank the Spurs for not trying in that last game and letting it be Rockets v. Mavs.

[slingshot]

Fat lady warming up...

[slingshot]

Did anybody catch the TNT postgame show yesterday? Shaq took off his belt and was holding it, one of the guys asked him what he was doing with the belt off... he answered "Houston just got an A$$ Whoopin'". Funniest quote of the day.

[Saggy Aggie]

Didn't realize LAC were this good. They really picked up their game in the playoffs. I wouldn't call the rest of the rockets average, especially Howard, but even harden has been non existant in this series. Houston just totally outmatched. I honestly did not see this coming. I'll admit I was completely wrong on this

[Saggy Aggie]

Finally won another game, but game 6 in LA tomorrow night will be tough.

[Roughneck93]

Lol...wow!

Go Rockets!

[Saggy Aggie]

Reverse psychology. Hell yeah.... Rockets play like crap all series, everyone gives up then they come out win 2 in a row to force game 7.... ***

Awesome comeback for the Rockets... awesome collapse by the Clippers.

[Saggy Aggie]

Game 7..... Cmon baby don't let me down. What a series this has been

[zebrablue2]

[Saggy Aggie]

Can't wait for everyone to tell me that GS will beat us

[slingshot]

GS will beat you--there you go...

[Saggy Aggie]

GS will beat you--there you go...

Got it. Thanks

[Tejastrue]

Lol Saggy...at your earlier comments on the Rockets.

As soon as I started giving them credit they turned back into the old clippers.

I thought houston was done but they shocked me and everyone else

I hate the Rockets, but I hate the Clippers/Chris Paul even more. This was an acceptable outcome.

I'll have to agree. I thought the Rockets were toast once they were down 3-1. They shocked me for sure. Somehow, I don't think Golden State will be as cooperative. Number one in offense and number one in defense, GS is on another level in my opinion, though they did struggle somewhat against Memphis. I say GS in 6.

My thoughts too on the Rockets being toast.Great come back.GS sweep the Rockets by an average of 15 points during the season.....that's why I'm taking the Rockets.Trap game for GS.Sounds good anyway.lol

[cougartino]

Was it not 1995 when the Spurs had the league's MVP and sweep the Rockets in the regular season only to lose in the conference finals. Maybe history is about to repeat itself.

[Tink4392]

I'm just glad to see that San Antonio is out, hope Harden can keep proving everyone wrong that he is a star and not just a role player!

Saw online where SA won 5/6 against houston in the regular season... Houston of course won the series and went on to sweep the magic in the finals

[waterboy]

Well, the Rockets played much better than I thought they would last night. They still lost, but it was definitely anybody's game until the end. Maybe they can win game 2?

They had a 16 point lead then let their foot off the gas. You gotta have a killer instinct in the playoffs.

[slingshot]

They had a 16 point lead then let their foot off the gas. You gotta have a killer instinct in the playoffs.This. They had the formula to win... then decided to pound it inside with Howard no matter what. Missed opportunity.

[Saggy Aggie]

I still like the matchup for houston.

Maybe dwight will be able to play the full game in game 2 and Livingston won't play the game of his career. It'd be nice if curry or Thompson could miss a couple threes but I'm not holding my breath for that....
