    I voted that the Rockets would take the series in 7, but I've changed my mind. Rocks in 6.

    'obviously' because we already have dwight so there's no chance we offer him a contract this summer. also we have capela who's 6 years younger and doesn't offensive goaltend :p

    Rockets in 7. I think having home court will be a huge factor.

    Rockets in 5. The clippers are tired and they have no bench at all. We are 10 deep and with rest.

    Go for it! How could we pass up the chance to round out our collection of the worst free-throw shooters in the league?

    Terry, Prig, Harden, Ariza, Brewer, Josh, Jones, Howard, and Capela.

    Not 10 but we do have 9 solid guys to give us minutes compared to LAC who have 7 if Big Baby and CP3 are healthy.

    Howard's presence will limit Clipper's inside game, basically cancels inside games out for both teams. It will come down to who makes more outside shots, and bench depth.

    Rockets in 6.

    James Harden plays BAD against the Clippers (as Clutch pointed out)

    Season averages, 4 games

    .358 FG%, .240 3PT%, 20 Pts/Gm

    And for HARDEN'S CAREER AGAINST THE CLIPPERS

    JUST AS BAD :confused: (in fact terrible)

    While its been focusing on the PF and PG situation, its Rockets MVP thats been the letdown against them. Rockets have won against Clips in SPITE of Harden, not because of him.

    Positive spin, can that Harden is ALWAYS bad against Clips, can say last game was Clips making him "look bad" rather than Harden lacking energy

    Negative view, is obvious. Harden CONSISTENTLY bad against Clips. Outlook looking dimmer. Harden needs to find way to overcome it
