    Haberstroh was right; the clippers only missed 23.

    I don't blame them though, the Rockets hadn't done anything to warrant any other response.

    BUT, even if we played them tough game in and game out, these clowns still would've said these exact comments, so that's where the lulzzz come into effect.

    Change "thought" to "hoped" and the title of this thread is correct.

    Anyone know of any well-trafficked LA Clippers message boards?

    No. And no need for you to be "that guy."

    Let's just keep rollin' with uncle "mo" to "Yallcansuckittown"

    Yes, I wish Jon, Royce, Pippen would go to Singapore and get caned. Obviously, Royce would take a boat.

    Nah, I know what they're saying, just browse comments on any of the national articles. Don't blame ya for that, we just don't need to be rubbing salt in the wound on a rival site was all I meant.

    Let's finish this series off at home with a convincing W, a handshake, and a "good game" and take our class with us to the next round.

    I don't hold anything against the media. They had every reason to believe this would be a laugher with the Clippers planning for Game 1 on Sunday. Not game 7.

    We were done. We had no right coming back from 19 points and blowing out the Clippers in the 4th QTR like that. That was just weird. How can you be mad at those who would not see it.

    It's like thinking the bad news bears were going to win. I mean in real life. In the movie sure, but does anyone expected us to win down 19? Let me tell you, I bet no one would make any kind of significant bet.

    Why are you seeking credit from a babbling moron? We could put local high school daily news casters on espn and they would come up with a better product.

    You haven't given the Rockets a chance throughout the series. I'm surprised you actually watched the game last night.

    Can you really blame them? I didn't think the Rockets would win, either. I have to say, it's nice feeling stupid and happy rather than stupid and sad like these guys, though.
