    Clippers neutralize every single matchup.

    Harden will get blocked if he tries to drive so all the clippers have to do is not foul him and let DeAndre eat him up.

    DeAndre is a big enough body to not get bullied by Dwight.

    Griffin is just better than any rockets PF.

    Paul is just better than any rockets PG.

    On the other hand, the Rockets don't have the ability to "stop" the Clippers. Redick and Crawford will get their shots, Griffin will get his, and Paul will get his.

    I hope the crowd chants 'MVP' 100 times louder than they normally do for Harden.

    Nice analysis. It kust depends how we play. If Harden can make himself useful by moving without the ball that would create a great team ball effect that clips can not neutralize. Josh to Dwight and vice versa plus many more... just too many angles we can hit them with. At the end of the day, Clipperd still play alot of heroball which makes them vulnerable and predictable.

    I read the tweet by the douche that can't comprehend our shirts, and the GSW fan response is laughable. I'm getting really tired of these GSW fans that are acting like they're shooting for their 3rd title in a row. Did Laker fans all jump to the GSW bandwagon? They've won absolutely squat in 40 years yet they all act like they in the middle of a dynasty or something. Their players act the same way (Bogut comes to mind first).

    I know it's doubtful, but I want the Grizzlies to stomp their smug a$$es. I didn't hate GSW fans before this year, but they're outta control.

    When did he say they will get swept?

    I'll put in money if we win the series.

    That tweet doesn't make sense... If you check off the last checkbox, you make it to the finals... That would mean the Warriors were eliminated at some point.

    Not really since we already "checked" the semifinals box and haven't won yet.

    No, because then the check next to the semi's would imply we already beat the Clippers... which we haven't.

    Any chance I can get a note from Dr. Harden, I have a feeling I won't be out of work by 8:30...
