    Or should you be saying Go Harden! That's all that matters tonight for many isn't it?

    Clippers need to win this game for homecourt advantage.

    Actually they may not given that Utah has to go to Golden State tonight. The Warriors are resting guys here and there, but they're not exactly coasting to the postseason either.

    Why take the chance if you are the Clippers? They are actually playing well this last quarter of the season and would do well to keep that momentum going, from their perspective.

    I'm kind of hoping for two more wins for the Rockets, and two more losses for the Thunder. 10 game gap between the two teams in the W/L column, and some good momentum heading into the playoffs.

    I don't think they're gonna halfass it. I think the Clippers will try to win tonight. I'm just saying that if they look up at the scoreboard in the 3rd quarter and see that the Jazz are down 20+ to the Warriors, they may not go all out from that point on to secure the victory.

    My game plan would be starters 1st & last 6 minutes of each half. Bench the rest of the way with a few guest appearances like B Brown & Montrezl, Troy Williams & Onakuo
    Win game high priority, some says it doesn't matter, but it always matters. Go RedNation. Let the Clippers be blinded by the Rockets Red Glare and the Bombs bursting in midair.

    Well him and Bev have made it clear they think resting is for pu**ies, so no chance they sit out.

    fwiw: Popovich was so mad at Spurs for Clippers handling them so easily last game he said "no rest for you" for last two games. This is a good practice-run game, since Clippers want badly to win it.

    Yeah, at this point i think we'll lose unless the Floppers are going to pull one of their classic chokes...but who cares, just let Harden get his record and than unleash the kids.

    In fact, fwiw since i don't really think he'll come here...if the Floppers get home court advantage they'll have a better chances to eliminate the Jazz, which means more chance that Hayward leaves this summer.

    Yeah, and maybe against the Wolves too...Westbrook is the MVP because he won against three lottery teams...lul

    Harden goes for 115 points but Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson both hit 3-3 on 3ptrs. ESPN bottomline, Rockets shooters carry team with perfect performance.
