    The Clippers have one kryptonite against Harden, and it's the LA club scene.

    The first two years of Harden's Rockets career I coulda swore he played every game in LA hungover. But this year as his stats have improved, I am beginning to wonder if he has learned discipline. Let's hope it keeps up during the playoffs, because you better believe the strip clubs will be upping their games too.

    Clutchfans in LA unite! Don't let Harden go out!

    CP3 with a hurt hamstring takes away his biggest weapon - the FLOP


    Rockets in 4!

    Gotta let CP3 get his and guard the other guys. Can't let Reddick, Barnes, Crawford, etc... go off.

    wtf is wrong with you guys? its the exact scenario we needed to have a chance! spurs would have hacked us, la wont do it since they have jordan, and our bench is superior to the clippers.

    bunch of sissy boys, put on your big boy pants and root for the rockets.

    People acting like it is 2014. Stop being so scared of the Clippers. Paul is a concern, but they do not have a bench and Howard is back for the Rockets (did not play against the Clippers this season).

    Their stars have more experience than Harden.

    Did you watched the game? Chris Paul could flop with one leg, one arm, one eye, whatever. Heck, I bet he could flopped in the locker room and the refs would still fall for it.

    Crawford = Clips bench

    Guard him and we'll win.

    Crawford is a proven Rockets killer.

    Says who? Griffin and Paul have accomplished absolutely nothing in the 2nd round.


    Harden and Dwight have been to the finals

    No doubt. If we take him out the equation I have no doubt the Rockets will win.

    Will gladly eat crow, but I'm not confident.

    Game 1 will set the tone. Will the Rockets be mentally prepared after a no-defense series with the Mavs? We will be able to tell a lot in 24 minutes.
