    Apparently about 40% of posters on Clutchfans also thought the Clippers would win.

    I am not going to knock ESPN.

    Do they want a team from Los Angeles to win? Yes (although they would prefer the Lakers), but their studios are right next to the Staples Center and the Clippers were at home, ahead at the half and had blown the Rockets out the other two games in LA.

    What a great day to be a Rockets fan. Well, it's always a great day to be a Rockets fan, but this was one of the best days. :)

    Most hated? Come on. Biggest disappointment? Maybe. But the man just isn't right in the head. You can be disappointed in that but hating him for it? Hate Pippen. Hate Barry. Don't hate a guy that's so screwed up he never even played for us and he will miss the opportunity he was given to play in the NBA. He made out a lot worse than we did in that deal. Too, he's a footnote on a footnote on a footnote. You'd have more reason to hate V-Span or even the poor, tortured, late Eddie Griffin (and I don't see how you blame a guy as screwed up as Eddie either). White didn't hurt us. He was a gamble that didn't work out. At worst, a frustration but even with all his bad behavior not a villain. Let's save the hate for guys that actually did something to us.

    When a team is down 19 in the 3rd quarter, even those rooting for the Rockets and against the Clippers cannot reasonably bet on the Rockets to win.

    What happened in the 4th quarter is highly unusual, to say the least. LA sports talk radio has been in shock all day.

    I don't how many times I have to say F ESPN for their bull**** reporting on the home team.

    The Clippers lost the game, the Rockets didn't win it. :rolleyes:

    And to be fair, none of them thought McHale would bench Harden for that long.
