    I was surprised at that. I did not tune in till the end of the 2nd where they were down by a few.

    Then I saw all the negativity and thought they were down the whole time.

    Well that is a positive sign. Could be rotations. Rockets usually do well in first quarters and good in 3rd and 4th when winning.

    What I feel negative about is that outside of Griff and Jordan and Crawford, nobody really sticked out. (Hudson delivered some momentum)

    They still turned it around and led the score.

    What is the situation with Spencer Hawes BTW? Did not see him play like forever

    Yeah, it's over. Any doubts about Harden's intensity should be quelled at this point. I think we'll be seeing the MVP candidate from now on

    Splash brothers need to come up with 45 pts and more otherwise Memphis has this.

    I think both GSW and Clippers are teams that have been 2nd round teams for quite some time and really could not go beyond that.

    3rd round virgins if you will. They are hungry. Believe me. Memphis has to play their best.

    Harden's mom should have punched Matt Barnes. NBA can't suspend her.

    Yep....I see 3-1 leaving Memphis. Clippers got the leverage they needed when we handed them game 1.

    Barnes is a dumbass, reminds me of that regular season game where Harden was sleeping until he tackled him.

    I hope McHale sends in Dorsey to take out Barnes.

    Hope Harden punks him like Kobe did while back.

    I m so glad mchale made the necessary adjustments in the 2nd half.
    i admit i stopped watching after the 1st half, yup, shame on me. i eventually decided to get back and watched the final 9 mins. i m so glad we won.
    now go take at least 1 game in LA.

    Now this was classless and unprofessional. Dude needs his *** kicked for disrespecting Harden's mother like that.

    This Rockets team is long due for a couple of great games. Might them be the road games?

    This is despicable. I've never seen this **** before.

    I was just watching sportcenter, the highlights were good. Talked about Blake's domination. About the lobs, about Harden closing it out...then after the highlights they talk ALL about the FTs. How the Rockets shot 64 FTs. Barnes/ Blake/ Doc all whining about FTs. ESPN pretty much complaining to the refs for the Clippers.

    Hey yeah, maybe if you guys didn't fouled Dwight 21 times there wouldn't be so many FTs?

    Ah well, damage has been done. Rockets getting 5 FTs next game. ESPN won't talk about the disparity then of course.

    Howard on Griffin is a must , If Deandre gets in foul trouble and heads to the bench just have Howard guard him for the rest of the series it was a success doing it
