Only way the Clippers play a full lineup is if OKC drops their next two. Since one is @home vs the Pistons, I don't think that will happen.
Rockets fans need to stop saying that. This is a team that barely beat New Orleans 2nd and 3rd stringers at home, lost and gave up 51 points to Corey brewer. Rockets are playing like garbage.
Nope, we only need ONE win OR Portland to lose ONE and we're locked for 4th seed. And even if we slipped to 5th, I still think we beat Portland. GSW is too much of a crap shoot... because they have 2 perimeter sharp shooters in Curry + Thompson, we lose a big chunk of Dwight's advantage in the paint. I'll take Lillard + LMA all day, especially since Portland's defense is mediocre and they have NO play off experience.
That was a total BS foul that sent Lillard to the line. He wasn't even touched on that layup attempt, refs only gave him FT's because he missed the shot. Now the Rockets better get serious and win a game either vs. Spurs (doubtful) or @ Pelicans the next night.
I'm not even concerning myself w/ the Blazers/Clips game. Rockets just need to handle their business, plain and simple.
Well we are locked into that 4/5 San/Mem/Phoenix 1st two rounds matchups... Which is the best road for us to make the WCFs. I think we will get HCA in the first round -- BUT if we should happen to miss out on it (doubtful) I don't see Portland as a challenge... And we matchup well with SA too... so I am settling in for a LONG playoff road for the first time in DECADES.
the officiating in this game was horrendous, very favorable calls toward the Blazers at the end of the game.
All I can do is laugh after that Blazers-Warriors game. Iggy with the wide open brick. Oh well, because the Rox been farting around the past week they still have to suit up everyone in meaningful game tomorrow. Was hoping Rox, especially Harden, could take this week off heading into the playoffs.
Blazers have also moved to the top of my Most Hated Teams list. Lillard, Batum and Matthews -- can't stand any of them.
Ehh I would be pretty shocked if you guys lost @NOH. Those guys blow so many leads all you have to do is be within 20 with 5 minutes left.
What do the Clippers owe them for? Clippers vs Warriors in the playoffs is definitely going to be my number one series to watch in the first round. I expect the Clippers to win in 6 or 7 highly entertaining and competitive games, but i'll be rooting for the Warriors.
