This means nothing, literally nothing. Rockets healthy sweep the Clippers in a 7 game series no questions asked.
The game clearly meant a ton to the Clippers, they were playing extremely hard. The Rockets are going through the motions right now, the same thing every great NBA team does. It's certainly not fun to watch, but it really means almost nothing in the grand scheme. With Harden and Paul in May, this team would be lucky to take 2 games off of us.
