    Because it takes a special ed version of Chris Paul and our supporting cast going 3-25 for them to have a "chance" to beat us.

    I dare anyone to "like" your stupidity.

    I'm surprised you still speak with me after all your cowardice.

    Incorrect. This is without a doubt travel. people need to actually watch what happens in real life before acting like they know what happened

    2 games separating 3rd and 9th seed. They are A good team at full strength. Well, the positive thing is they can get us warmed up for the championship run. The 09 lakers needed us to be ready and the first ring Warriors had the young Pels in a close first game IIRC. We lived today and we will prevail.

    Lol



    We didn’t hit our threes. Everyone but Harden, Capela and tucker played subpar. They didn’t show up much. Cp3 had a bunch of bad decisions. Yet we still won.

    Means we can win even when we had an off night just like during the regular season. I’ll take the win :)

    Harden being a true leader. We can't do it without Paul...and tonight CP3 realized that he just needs to be a robin. I think his mind was going haywire.

    Right foot literally never moves once it hits the floor after the rebound.

    Please stop with the "they were the 3rd seed before Butler's injury" crap. You know what the difference was between the 3rd seed and the 8th seed? 2 freaking wins! The seedings are irrelevant. The Rockets are a vastly superior team to everyone not named the Golden State Warriors.

    Why are you quoting 'chance' like I said they have one?

    My point was Minnesota is going to make this series more difficult than NO or SA would have.

    It’s just unrealistic that we need to blow out wolves by the end of 3rd. This sort game happens all the time even to the great ones. I can guarantee you the Warriors and OKC willl face fierce resistance in their serieses too. Also don’t take it for granted that we will get past the Twolves with ease. The next game is a whole new game.

    Hmmmm. So they were 3rd.

    And lost their best player.

    What do you think would've happened if their best player played more games? Do you think the gap between 3rd and 8th seed would've been greater than 2 games?

    I mean logical, common sense. Please.

    Clutch should ban the entire Clutchfans population from posting for 6 hours after a game until people get their heads right again.

    I liked it.

    Harden was CLUTCH tonight.

    Usual suspects silenced.

    Timebomb's ticking when he isn't...

    What I learned today is don’t watch the game with friends who barely know anything about basketball.

    Cp3 needs to chill out
    Ariza, Gordon need to practice more
    Luc is the mvp
    Ryno needs to comeback

    At the very least harden has a robin now

    Up to this playoffs game harden had no other legit playmaker who can draw double and triple teams away from harden and who can give harden a rest (from the court and from playmaking)
