    People predicting us to win this game easily are going a bit crazy. It's our 3rd game in 4 nights, the Clippers are at home and have had an extra day of rest. There is the potential for us to roll them if we dominate them on the boards, but there's no guarantee that's going to happen.

    The next two games are schedule losses, winning even one of them would be great.

    Because basketball is a team game. Lots of players didn't win until they had good teammates. Heck, Jordan didn't do anything for many years until he started to get a team around him.

    Paul had very mediocre teammates prior to joining the Clippers. The last two years the Clippers have improved, thanks largely to Paul. They just happen to be facing some very stiff competition as the West is as tough as its ever been (having the Westbrook-less Thunder would have been a blessing, for example). This year, with a real coach, I expect them to go further. No real excuses anymore.

    Hate to break it to you, but Doc is overrated besides motivational.

    Doc may not be elite but VDN was the worst coach I've ever seen, and as a Clipper fan, that means a lot. This is a man who didn't play his 3rd best player (Bledsoe) because apparently deadwood Billups is more valuable.

    Can anyone post the vid of CP3 flopping on a ref? But in total serious discussion, CP3 eats opposing guards for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Still, we can probably pull a win if we don't play like the previous 3 games, except by combining the 1st half (minus those last minutes in the 2nd quarter), the 4th quarter from the Utah game, and we should be golden. Go Rockets, kind of expecting a loss, but D12 still a game changer when he shows up.

    I'm really looking forward to this game. This is gonna be a good game to see if our recently subpar performance will catch up to us or if we were just playing down to the competition. Can I dream of a 65 win season???

    That is not the reason why Coach played him for 43 minutes LOL.

    Another thing ole buddy was saying Harden will play 40+ minutes a game. So where are you getting this playing on a sprain ankle stuff from.

    Finally the first 2.30pm game of the season, I like this more than having to wake up at 11am.

    Hou: 108
    Clippers: 103 or 118
