Face it, folks, the Clippers are just better at NBA than the Rockets are

Match up wise, it just doesn't work.

Howard can't do anything on offense when Jordan in the game, he's still playing defense, rebounding and scoring when Jordan is out though ( which the only reason we aren't completely blown out right now)

Nobody can score in the paint with Griffen and Jordan inside, which means we have to rely on 3 pointers nobody is making

We aren't making our 3's because we can get open up the paint, so they are pressuring all of our shooters and where left with either a heavily contested drive or 3 point shot.

Griffen is scoring much better then James on offense, which basically makes James a 0 for us.

They have better shooters

They have more athleticism

We cooked ducks.

 

Yeah, I will laugh.

Austin Rivers, Lester Hudson fresh over from China, Hedo Turkoglu's corpse.

Of course they look good, they're going against the Rockets defense.

If you keep telling me every series how some scrub(or bench player) is going off and looking better than expected, that's likely a Rockets defense problem.

Aminu last series.
Rivers and Hudson here.

 

Yeah, that guy was almost Co-MVP in the Finals after Marbury with better stats so I won't underestimate him.

 

LMA looked like the re-incarnation of Hakeem when they played us, and then went back to bricking shots with SA the very next series. Its amazing how people want to blind themselves.

 

When the other team role players look all together much better than yours, that's normally a clear sign of outcoaching. Coaching is also about motivation, mental preparation, putting your players in the best position to succeed.

 

Yes, exactly.

Compare LaMarcus and Lillard last year vs. the Rockets compared to them vs. San Antonio the next round and Memphis this year

Night and day.

 

Clippers confidence is just so damn high after dethroning the Spurs and even higher after that lackluster Game 1.

I'm usually positive, but man, Rockets make it so damn hard.

 

The Warriors will have problems with either Memphis or Clipper and their interior tough bigs....

so a Finals appearance is not a safe bet.

 

Blake is having an Aldridge moment, let that marinate. ? Then wait till the game is over..smh.

 

Did LM Aldridge have a triple double in that series? Apart from scoring?

 

This is like playing chess with a kid, after going through the varsity chess team.

They're playing without their superstar PG.

 

McHale is getting sorely out coached.

The Rockets can't estate and rhythm, and can't hit shots.

This is the series that exposes our coach, our injuries, and our fatal flaw of the offense going style when we aren't hitting threes.

I'm ready to call the season over, unless something drastically changes tonight.

I wouldn't even mind seeing what Capella could do against Blake at this point.

 

You have to be kidding !!!!!!!!
Chris Paul is not playing and the Clippers are more talented !!!!!!!!
How crap is the Rockets then ?????

 

Relax..It is more about coaching, playoff chemistry, and they have the better matchup in the last couple of years

 

The Rockets look a lot better since Harden's 4th foul

 

We need height! It is clearly showing that we could have used another big like Dmo or Asik in our line up right now. I don't understand why we don't have a body to put on any of the clippers big.

 

Your point.

 

This.

 

Griffin is better than Aldridge or will be better in future. He is more of a physical presence and can assist more.

 

You really think Cuban is happy right now? Look at the future of his team. Dirk is getting old and Ellis might be out. They're stuck with pretty boy Parsons who still thinks he's better than a role player. Chandler might be out too. Once again they're stuck praying to land a free agent like Aldridge.
