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.

whats the line?Comment -
I might wait and see if they lose Game 1.Comment -
Clippers are more balanced for sure
Paul is banged up thoughComment -
Good luck stopping hardenComment -
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.Comment -
Rockets in 5 or 6 don't throw money away on clippersComment -
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.Comment -
worried about CP3 and Superman affecting GriffinComment -
Agree
Script says Clippers win it all
Beat Cavs in finalsComment -
Warriors are bunch of hot dogsComment -
I think Rockets take this, they have the best playerComment -
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.Comment -
Looks like a light line. Clippers +120. I WOULD have liked LA but passing at that number. Rockets are -6 / -240 in Game 1.Comment -
L t the problem is that if we wait and somehow clips win the first game we get nothing.Comment -
houston/clev in a parlay series any dayComment -
i hate the clippers but i think this is a pretty good pick.Comment -
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'sComment -
It will be a very interesting series.
Will watch.
Will bet Rockets a few times I'm sure.Comment -
Griffin already came out... averaged almost a triple double in the SA series... he isnt sneakng up on anyoneComment -
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

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.Comment -
Rivers vs. the Frankenstein McHale.Easy choice.Comment -
kind of like Minnesota wild play?Comment -
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.Comment
