    Clippers are a really tough matchup but I think we can get them.

    Can't stand these cry babies but all we got do is put Ariza on Paul and that's give us a great chance.

    Clipps don't have a great wing man to worry about, just Paul, let Terry and whomever Chase Reddick and hope for the best, just hide Harden on Barnes.

    Great, great matchup with Dwight versus Jordan, playoff Dwight, nuff said.

    I just hope Harden doesn't let Jordan stifle and intimidate him we will win in 6.

    Just rotate Jones/Capella/Smith on Blake and lets see where the chips fall, I must say I like my chances.

    Sorry to vote against the Rox. Hopefully they'll all bring it and win the series; but Griffin is gonna eat our lunch.

    Go Rox!

    Dwight is really the only guy that led the team by himself. Don't talk to me about OKC and who the No. 1 and No. 2 were.

    I guess Harden won some playoff games for them but the entire burden was not on his shoulders.

    LA while did not come out of the West so far, they did frequently make the 2nd round and played the likes of Spurs and Memphis, (top of the West in the last years)

    almost every year.

    We have to win Game 1 and 2, especially if Paul and Griffin aren't 100%.

    Hope we can steal one on the road then win it in 5 or 6. My heart probably won't last a Game 7.

    Get ready for 4 hour games with all the hacking!! :)

    Lol at you. I am not even among those who voted for the Clippers.

    I am giving the Rox a good chance. Seriously you are pointing out my statement?!

    Because the Clippers just defeated the reigning Champs?!

    We have 40 year olds trying to check the second best PG in the league and a top 5 player in the NBA. I think you're right.

    I dont think people understand how serious hamstring injuries are...

    Paul's performance tonight was 100% adrenaline and will power. I wouldnt be suprised if he was out until game 5-6

    Exactly. We're better than we've been since 1994 - 1995 team. I think CB and Smoove give us the edge. We have more depth and enough defensive to get by the Clips.

    Didn't I read something once upon a time that talked about how Smoove does well defensively on Blake?
