[QUOTE=kairi-2008;9173156]Clippers do match up well and should beat them.
But 5 games ? That's a big call.
[B]I do however feel that neither of these teams have what it takes to win it all[/B].[/QUOTE]

Clippers just beat the defending champs and did it in close games that showed they do have what it takes.....



Clippers in 6.

They won game 7 by 2 points on some questionable calls. This aint convincing for me

[QUOTE=Kosmo Kards;9169667]I wish the Clips had better depth. I just don't know if they can endure another tough series after that exhausting win against SA. I want the Clips to win, but I feel that Houston will win in 6.[/QUOTE]

This exactly. Rockets are well rested and eager to play in the next round. Actually they are where my Spurs should be had they not lost that game in New Orleans

Going to be a good series. If paul is really hampered by the injury it's going to be scary seeing Austin Rivers playing significant minutes

Jamal Crawford and glen Davis are the clippers bench, not one other clippers player would get pt on the rockets and I don't even think glen Davis would (smith, jones and a healthy motiejunas are better players). I like the rockets in 6.

[QUOTE=drob50;9173151]I am interested to hear your reasoning behind this statement!

Is it based on the season series being split 2-2?

Or the fact that the 2 the Clippers won included the Rockets using Tarik Black and Joey Dorsey as starting Centers?

Or is it based on the fact that Dwight Howard hasn't played against the Clippers at all this season?[/QUOTE]

No it's based on the fact the Clippers are 11-3 vs Houston last 14 games.

Clippers in 6. Howard doesn't scare me either dose there bench. Him and DJ will cancel each other out. Harden and Blake are X factors. Who's gonna guard them? No one on either team can. And well, Doc vs McHale, no offense but I'd rather have a proven winner on my sideline running my team. Doc is a far better coach then Kevin.

Not too optimistic for tonight's game, but I think the Clips can win the series. CP3's injury is absolutely the biggest factor, but people have overlooked Blake's triple double(and all around game) because of Paul's heroics in game 7. I expect Blake to be on a mission like when Cp3 got hurt last year.

I'm also hoping to see some Lester Hudson at the point. Chinese League MVP who we picked over Nate Robinson. He can really defend and shoot a little(or a LOT better than Austin Rivers, minus Game 4). Give Lester a chance, Doc!

[QUOTE=kairi-2008;9171652]Neither has the ability to stop the other, neither play good defence.[/QUOTE]

What? The Rockets are one of the best defensive teams in the league; they ranked #6 in defensive efficiency playing half of the season without the 4 time DPOY. Fast pace =/ bad defense.

No way I see the Clippers winning game 1 without CP3.

Go Rockets. Have to take game 1 without CP3

Clips are in deep doodoo, I'm afraid..

So you use a sample size that suits the argument? Clippers have not 'owned' the Rockets this year and it's only this year that counts!

I like your optimism, but Dwight destroys DJ every day of the week, not getting cancelled out. DJs 1/1 defense will get exposed I think

Houston is starting to get some momentum in this game. Go rockets!

Love Clippers chance in this series if cp3 comes back by game 2. Rockets don't look any good at all. Maybe Clippers even steal it tonite, LOL!

Lol, Rockets should be embarrased. Same old D12. Harden not getting fouls called on his dropped shoulders.

Was I spoiled from watching Spurs last series? This game seems a little boring and lack of energy even tho my clippers are axtually up without cp3

BS call on Griffin.

This...this is not a good game of basketball

Let's steal this series right now clippers!

[QUOTE=tiger221166;9177591]This...this is not a good game of basketball[/QUOTE]

Maybe harden was really disappointed he didn't get mvp. He looks like he doesn't really want to be there

Houston is sloppy. No energy. Too many 3s. Too many turnovers.
Clippers going to beat them with their B squad

Wow. Only watching the score, but Clippers making me eat my words! Nicely done so far!

If rockets can't even beat them without cp3 they definately have no chance when he gets back.

Houston never saw a bad shot they didn't like. Does McHale even coach?
