    A truly bad and possibly game altering mistake by the clock guy, but hat's off to the Clippers as annoying as they are.

    Game on, Rockets. We're going to have to play our 4 best games of the season in the next week or two to win out.

    How huge was the Spurs season ending loss at New Orleans? The difference between the two and the sixth seed. So glad they lost that last game of the season.

    Regarding the upcoming series between Houston and LA. Any chance the NBA/refs do everything they can to have an all California Western Conference final? Rockets are going to have to play their best basketball of the season to win this next series, but I have no doubt they can do it.

    Clock guy was a relative from the Utah clock guy.

    That's now how Reddick kills Harden. It's him running his ass through multiple screens which is a huge weakeness for Harden on defense. It wears him out.

    Well I hope you guys are right and the Clips are beatable, I think CP3 will destroy us, let´s just hope we win the interior battle because I don´t see Harden going off on Redick and containing him on the other side.

    The best thing about the Clippers > Spurs - is that hack-a-Houston will be non-existent because we can do it right back to them.

    This is going to be a huge series for Corey Brewer on the defensive end. Dare I say it - he could be ultimately the deciding factor in whether we advance or go home.

    McHale switched Harden off Redick and it was fine. Rockets finally won.

    Two completely different types of players. I don't even think they can be compared. Paul is a true PG, and Iverson is one of the best pure scorers the game has ever seen. Iverson revolutionized the game though, and paved the way for guys like Chris Paul. So given that aspect I would give the edge to Iverson.

    Popovich press conference:

    "There was no baloney going on the series except for me fouling Jordan" :p

    Yeah, that scorekeeper needs to be booted immediately.

    That's the closest thing to cheating outside forces can do.

    If Paul, Griffin and Davis aren't 100%, that will be huge.

    Clippers only play 7 guys real minutes, and Paul and Griffin play over 40 minutes each.

    Our rest might be huge coming to this series.

    Makes me sick.

    Everyone is a Clippers fan all of a sudden now. Every person on Twitter. Celebs, you name it.


    We're going against the power of LA now. Houston is going to get so much hate

    Never seen pop so upbeat ever, especially in a press conference
