ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 5/4/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

Get Trevor on CP3

 

4-0 coming up

 

Not an easy 6 game if you meant that.

Course they can... it is not a given though they have to earn it by going up early at home

All that is said Clippers should be as tough as GSW or the best of the West

 

We'll hear excuses from Clippers fans and the media now if the Clippers lose game 1. The Rockets haven't used an injury excuse all year for being the team with the 3rd most injuries.

You can already tell.

 

We're so much deeper than them. If CP is hurt they have no chance.

Rockets in 6

 

The 2-2 split plus Howard's return gives me hope. Harden's struggles with them, plus our matchup troubles bothers me a great deal. If Bev and D-Mo were fit, I would feel more positive.

I expect the Clippers to win in 6 or 7.

 

This series will get ugly. We can take it if we keep our composure

 

Keep Corey on him. Ariza needs to take on Crawford/ Redick. If K-Pap was playing well on defense, it would help us out. Alas, he is a non-factor in the playoffs.

 

Can't have quarter long lapses anymore. We gotta be consistent and for the love of god, get back on defense.

 

Key to the game

 

We have to go up early. Losing one at home would be digging a hole.

I do not fear them as much as the Spurs but they have weapons in the clutch.

Very evenly matched even with a hobbled CP. (not buying this serious injury crap until I see him miss 2 games)

 

Losing 1 at home wouldn't be terrible. Not ideal, but if we're 2-2 after 4, I like our chances. Only thing we absolutely cannot do is start of 0-2 like we did against Portland. That's a fairly obvious statement but rings true nonetheless.

 

Rockets in 5 let's do this!!!!

 

Finally the game thread!
Rockets are taking game 1! Go dominate them Beard

 

Put me in the "no way CP3 misses a game" camp. I don't expect us to be favored in this series, but I believe we can win. These guys have to be dead tired. Punch 'em in the mouth and run like hell.

 

are we going to see hack vs hack? the games could take 4 hours

 

Corey Brewer's energy off the bench will be huge.

 

I hope Ariza shows up offensively.

 

BEAT LA! BEAT LA! FLOP FLOP FLOP CITY

 

I'm nervous.
