    Another dude smoking the crack pipe.
    The Clippers at their best were good enough to win three games.
    Rockets were good enough to win four games.
    Who's moving on to the next round?

    It's not just about being talented.
    The Clippers were the weaker team MENTALLY.

    i voted clips in 6 on the public poll thread before the series started. i was wrong. the clips are not a better or more talented team than houston. they have 2 rotation players 35yrs old logging heavy minutes and go only 6 deep no their overall depth chart. maybe 6.5 if you count austin rivers' 2 good games. also, if they choke as carl said then that's simply part of their roster makeup.

    not accepting this is like the guy who loses big on some penny stock investment but still contends the company is great, the market was just wrong this time!

    He started this thread, like most, to bag on Morey. Meanwhile the Rockets have all of their assets intact and the Clips have nothing. They will barely be able to get their current team back next year.

    To Carl's argument: he underestimates our depth which is the reason we won this series. The worth of a team doesn't rest wholely on their starting five, there are other factors. In a long tough series depth is a huge factor, and Carl just dismisses it. Our second unit scored like 50 points tonight. The clips have no real depth and it hurt them badly.

    Another factor Carl dismisses is playoff experience. We aren't the same team we were last year. We're young, but we've got plenty of guys with playoff experience. Brew, Smoove, Terry, Ariza...all vets, all new additions with playoff experience to add to Harden and Howard, who also have a lot of playoff experience. I don't think last year's team could come back down 3-1. The clips have less vet big game experience And they didn't have the discipline and cool to close us down.

    Will isn't some temperamental negative dillhole.

    He is CLUTCH CREW, whip smart and calls it fair and square

    If I'm reading it right you "crackin" on Will, he basically said what you said about intangibles being important

    I don't give a rats @$$ who Will is.

    He clearly said that Carl was correct that the Clippers at their best were better than the Rockets at their best.

    The Clippers best was good enough to win three games.
    It takes FOUR games to win a series!

    The Clippers were the weaker team mentally.

    Carl is a good poster, but I think there is nothing wrong with people razzing him a bit for this thread. It ain't over til it's over.

    Who knew so many people predicted the Rockets would come back from being down 3-1? And they're all conveniently showing up in this thread to point out how right they were.

    But don't you think it beats the alternative? Or would you prefer the quitters showing up bragging about a Rockets elimination?
