Yeesh, a bunch of staff standing around lost while 1-2 guys do the actual work of fixing the clock.

Have you looked at him? He weighs like 185 at 6'9", he's not difficult to move.

Crowd getting up the Rockets, players lifting, not looking good for the young Clippers.
This is when you need your general on the court.

They're going to make Austin fly commercial back to LA

Kosmo Kards · 05-06-2015, 11:40 PM

At halftime I felt like the Clips were gonna win. The Rockets didn't play all that great. LA just had a very poor second half. Griffin was ice cold in the fourth, with Paul out Crawford handles the rock too much and takes too many tough shots. However, the Clippers were down their best player after a tough series against SA and the Rockets barely won game 2 just to stay alive. They should get CP3 back game 3 (hopefully).

Thanks Austin Rivers for being MVP for the Rockets.

Kosmo Kards · 05-08-2015, 09:46 PM

Chris Paul is suited up and ready to play. I was starting to think he wouldn't be ready until game 4.

paul06901 · 05-08-2015, 10:12 PM

This game is GREAT!

Finally, between this game and the last Cavs/Bulls game, the refs are LETTING THEM PLAY. Not many BS, ticky-tac fouls.

And guess what James Harden?! You're NOT THAT GREAT! You're only MVP-caliber when the refs are giving you 20PPG themselves!

Love seeing his flailing shots and drives go un-tweeted by the refs. This is how it ALWAYS should be, but the regular season is such a joke when it comes to things.

Houston gettin swept in LA

Here are all the Harden fouls from last game. Please show me all the flops/phantom calls. : rockets

He gets fouled, it's not his fault teams can't defend him without fouling. He's getting fouled this game too but the refs are calling nothing.

Everyone's getting fouled. I'm not going to even bother looking at a biased Houston Rockets messageboard for any opinion on James Harden. Everyone gets fouled all season long. However, Harden gets glorified for playing "smart" by Rockets fans, everyone else sees it as "cheap acting" to get calls. I'll agree, if the refs call it ... do it. But it's pathetic.

In the Playoffs, it's been much more down-to-earth for Harden. Not COMPLETELY though...

Did you see that play just now, the call on Chris Paul?

Harden literally grabbed CP3's arm and pulled it up through his own arm LOL ... it was wild how blatant that was. And Harden GOT the call.

Harden also had the blatant travel at the end of the half.

I get it, I should be upset with the refs. I am, but Harden is still the one who flops every single drive to the hoop, and every single jumpshot. The ONLY thing he doesn't flop on is those 3-pointers he makes.

ninjacookies · 05-08-2015, 11:15 PM

Brewer looks and moves just like a gazelle.

paul06901 · 05-08-2015, 11:37 PM

Another Harden jump-shot-flop no-call there ... glad to see it resulted in the 3-pt play on the break for Austin Rivers!

drob50 · 05-08-2015, 11:38 PM

Sick of hearing the home commentators complain about Austin Rivers' forearm while Harden is shoveling people out of the way on the other end!

Rabie1 · 05-08-2015, 11:38 PM

Austin Rivers showing Harden who the real MVP is. LOL.

muzikandme · 05-08-2015, 11:38 PM

Rivers is destroying Harden with simple cross overs.

It's just amazing how real things get.

All of a sudden the game gets tightened up by the referees in the Playoffs and Mr. "MVP contender" James Harden's game completely disappears. None of his flopping for fouls is working, and that really changes the entire dynamic of the game for the opposing team. Regular season it felt like Harden had the refs on his payroll...

I'd like to hope the refs calling Harden fairly like this continues into Houston ... but I doubt that will happen...

This is why the Rockets can't be seen as a real contender IMO. When you rely on getting calls as much as they do, you will not win in many playoff game and even less in finals

Houston is the weakest 2 seed. They belong in the East

Kosmo Kards · 05-08-2015, 11:58 PM

Clips owning Houston. I wouldn't be surprised if Houston didn't win another game in this series. Clippers have been way better.

nissandriver77 · 05-09-2015, 12:00 AM

Can this be the season for the Clips ????

tristan20 · 05-09-2015, 12:01 AM

Harden sucks as expected. When you don't get the whistles like you did all season, it shows.
