Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

This series doesn't even feel like it should be 7 games.....

What's ironic is this is the very series EVERYONE on the radio/tv were saying was over after four games. Yet it will be the only one going 7 from this round. I love when the experts are proven wrong.

I'm picking Houston in this game. The Clippers had their chance to end this series and failed, now they're going to lose today.

I'm still going to say the Clippers take this game and finish this series off in convincing fashion. However them blowing that lead Thursday and ending up in this position in the first place scares the **** out of me making that pick.

Rockets. By a lot.

Harden goes for 30. Smith has a double double and the Clippers bench contines being...well, the Clippers bench.

I'll go with the Clippers here. It seems like everyone forgot that the Clips had a pretty big lead in that game before the collapse occurred. They've outplayed Houston for a majority of this series and nothing Houston did in that last quarter leads me to believe that they had figured anything out.
Everyone saying that the Clippers can't recover after a loss like that, probably said the same thing after game 5 against San Antonio. I think they'll be fine. With that said, its game 7 and anything can happen at this point.

So Rivers and Crawford will continue to out produce the other teams bench and Big Baby will come in and be more effective than whoever is on the court for Houston or San Antonio?? lol

Their bench is still garbage, but those 3 have had a hell of a playoff run for all the **** they were taking before it started. I can't keep hating on them, Rockets letting Rivers out score anyone on their bench and do it efficiently and Big Baby was out there looking like the Duncan-stopper.. So bizarre lol.

Harden gonna go off me thinks. Don't like the Clippers if they're going to run CP3, Barnes, Griffin, and Jordan 40 minutes each. Just no depth.

Wait, who wouldn't play their best players 40+ minutes in a must win?

Considering how exhausted Blake,Jordan, and CP3 were in the 4th in Game 6, I'd have some doubts.

They had a good run but these last two games they've came back down to earth as most expected they would.

I just don't expect those guys, to go in to Houston in a Game 7, and give LA the performance they desparately need to win this game. Paul and Griffin looked absolutely dead at the end of Game 6 and rest assured both those guys will need to play another 38-40 mins tonight. Just think Houston wears them down again today and puts them away at home.

Weak foul. And lol that prigs steal.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I really don't like that foul call on Howard... there's some contact there, but that's not foul worthy, IMO.

Of course. My only point was that any team should play their best players 40+ with the season on the line. The problem with the Clippers is that they've had to do it pretty much every game.

Oh I agree. If I'm Houston, Harden and Howard are each playing 40+. I just really don't think Paul and Griffin are fresh enough to do that.

Clippers not looking good right now.
