    Don't be too confused by this post. Smith and Terry have worse ratings. Dwight's is over 110. The Rocket's have played really bad defense as a group against the Clippers.

    Before game 6, Harden had a better defensive rating for the series than Howard.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Doc Rivers could become 1st coach in NBA history to lose multiple series when leading 3-1

    And if Doc does lose the series after being up 3-1 again, he will likely do it with this guy sitting in the front row with Rockets owner Les Alexander:

    That's worse for LA as it would be 12:30 for their biological clock.

    That explains one game, what about the entire series and 3 years worth of playoffs? Come on people, fcking JJ Reddick and Austin Rivers are checking him.

    Have you watched the series? Barnes has guarded him more than Rivers. He was sick for 2 games with the flu. He's played well throughout the playoffs. Sorry Lin fans. The truth hurts.

    Did anyone watch the video in the middle of the article? In it, the senior editor of SI said that we can't trust Dwight in game 7 because he is not a competitor. Extremely frustrating to listen to...

    ESPN LA 710's radio host Steve Mason, a big time Lakers fan, is rooting for the Rockets and hung out with Daryl Morey at Game 6:
