    Called Rockets in 7, too, but definitely wasn't anticipating getting run out the gym in 3 and 4. Makes advancing that much sweeter.

    I thought the Rockets could win but didn't predict in how many games.

    I didn't think they would win like this.

    I bet 500 on the Clips to win the series when the Rockets were down 3-1...I thought...if the Rockets are going to keep disappointing me in the playoffs, might as well make some money out of it...I have very mixed emotions right now.

    i picked clippers in 6. didnt think we had the depth that they had. but we scrapped and won game 6 and took the series. some epic basketball, they definitely proved me wrong.

    i think morale wise, this win over the clippers is going to be huge moving forward with this squad. the clippers were poised for a championship and have all of the pieces but the rockets had the heart!!

    Not really, thought if we did, we'd win in 7 though. I thought either lose in 6 or win in 7.

    I just went back and checked. It turns out I did in fact pick Rockets in 7 before the playoffs started.

    However, before the series started, knowing that CP3 was going to be playing hurt to start, I actually thought we would win in 5. Game 1 changed that. And I thought the Clippers had it in the bag after Game 4, given how poorly the Rockets played in the LA games. I didn't start believing again until the Game 6 comeback.

    I said Rockets in 6. It would have been too if we didn't lay an egg the first game. Its all good though, I did say the Rockets will win the series despite being down 3-1.

    I had Rockets in 6 going into this series.

    After game 1 I figured it'd go to 7 if the Rockets won.

    After game 3 I thought Clippers in 6 (oops. made the win sweeter at least)

    Find that poll thread. I was in on Rockets in 7, but my biggest mistake was not putting $$$ when they were down 3-1, smh.
    Sweet, thanks for finding it JR.

    The rockets season flashed before my eyes late in game 6.

    I had Rockets in 6! I did keep faith that we could get it done in seven after Game 4 though.

    Let's get these Warriors!

    I called sweep by rockets. How disappointing. This team never meets expectations! I'm done!

    You could say the Rockets keep disappointing me in more ways than one. Never bet against your own team I guess. :eek:

    Yeah, I said Rockets in 7 before the series started. Of course, I'd be lying if I said I thought it would play out the way it did. Especially after the Game 1 loss.

    I did, but the day I heard Chris Paul was going to miss what looked like the first 2 games, and perhaps more, I posted that we'd take them in 6. Wish I hadn't changed my prediction. I no longer vote in non-public polls, unless Clutch starts them, so I won't be voting in this one.

    A great win! GO ROCKETS!!
