    Clippers series price over rockets is a must play

    Too many people will be thinking the clippers are banged up and drained but it will not matter. The clippers are clearly better than houston and it's a good matchup for them. Harden will be a one man team. The amount of confidence gained by beating the spurs can't be underestimated. The clippers might get rocked in game 1 but after that it's all theirs.

    Paul may not play game 1 so this is the best option.

    Love how people think the Clips eliminating the old rickety played in last 2 Finals 6th Seed Spurs was some great, huge accomplishment. Boris Diaw was Spurs best player of the series and went 7. Clips are FINISHED this is a horrendous match up.

    I agree with most of what you say except for Harden being a 1 man show. Clearly not the case.

    Besides free throw shooting griffen by far was the worst player on the floor. he was terrified out there in the 2nd half.

    as i've already posted in numerous other threads, the Rockets will handle the Clippers comfortably. this just isn't that hard to cap if you understand each team's personnel.

    I want everyone to take the rockets. People are judging them off beating dallas. Also funny how clippers beat the spurs because they are old and done. Before that series all I heard was how clips had no bench, Paul was a choker and rivers is an idiot.

    2 weeks later rivers is in the next round and he got good spot play from the bench and Paul is a warrior. The next round will be griffins coming out party.

    Looks like a light line. Clippers +120. I WOULD have liked LA but passing at that number. Rockets are -6 / -240 in Game 1.

    No value at +120 though, so so be it.

    Strongly disagree LB

    Spurs were hurt ( parker , splitter , ginobili ) and they still barely pulled it out

    Harden took a team of nothing and no bodies to the # 2 seed ( Harden the true MVP )

    Howard played in 40 regular season games...Jones played it 33 regular season games...Smith was added to the team in Feb.

    Its a different team now and those three will negate any advantage Deandre and Blake have ( plus Blake is an over rated pussy )


    POP is one of the all time greatest coaches but he was absolutely horrible that series

    Every time he went to the hack a shaq he disrupted the flow of offense from his own team, took away their ability to run and make transition baskets off of defensive rebound and turnovers. Clips bigs need to have time to get in place to set Double High screens for CP3. Pop helped them run it by fouling DeAndre like he did.

    Spurs in the series scored 1.3 per off a defensive rebound and .90 after a made basket / made free throw....Yet he stubbornly did it all series long

    He also refused to trap CP3 on the double high screen....not once did he have them do it !!

    He put Kawhi on Paul in the 2nd half of game 7 who couldn't move because of the injury and that hurt them

    Pop was brutal that whole series


    Poor CP3 carried 4 corpses to the conference semi's

    Who is going to guard Harden ?

    Barnes ? Too slow

    CP3 ? Too small and injured

    Reddick ? LMAO !!!!

    Crawford ?...He is a 6th man and comes off the bench cause he cant play D

    Barnes did a solid job on Leonard. Kawhi had his moments but Barnes made things tough on him.

    Actually Barnes might be the perfect kind of player to throw off a guy like Harden. He can disrupt him and get him out of his rhythm.

    People on here just want to make money, instead of letting the money come to them. Rockets will take this in 5. They'll keep home floor advantage. Steal one in L.A and return home to win it and head to the West finals. No brainer.

    Griffin is NOT a closer....... he can't defend.... can't get his own shot in the half court...... Clippers should trade him in the off season

    As a Rocket fan I thought the Clippers would win because of Paul's penetration and with Bev out, we have no one that can stop him but then I see this butt hurt train wreck's thread and I realized that there is no way the Clips win now. Lakerboy, Dwight only left because he hates you and if you were never born, he would probably still be a Laker.
