    We're watching the same game, right? Austin Rivers is lighting it up out there. JJ Redick is also playing out of his mind. Griffen and CP3 are taking the night off so they can get ready for the next.

    So what exactly are we doing wrong? If Redick and Rivers are owning us, then how are we supposed to get to the next level?

    The Rockets are doing nothing wrong. The Clippers are just better than the Rockets at basketball.

    Well mchale decided to put a 37 year old terry with a hamstring injury on one the quickest off ball shooters in the league. Rivers is scoring against James Harden the "superstar"

    That might be true, but Austin Rivers isn't Michael Jordan / Ray Allen / John Stockton in one.

    And with that, I'm turning off the game. Goodnight folks.

    Austin Rivers is outplaying Harden this series. Where's the heart, James?

    Austin Rivers isn't nearly as good as he is. He's playing vs. the Rockets.

    You're correct. Rockets have a very good team but clips are just better.

    What are the Rockets doing wrong, you ask?

    They don't care about defense. Austin Rivers scored 15 in a quarter. They are devoid of desire.

    As I said in the game thread,

    "Who knew Aminu would be a Rockets killer?"
    "Who knew Rivers would be a Rocket killer?"

    Next round, should they advance, you'll be saying

    "Who knew Justin Holiday was a Rockets killer?"
    or "Who knew JaMychal Green was a Rockets killer?"

    Yeah, bench/scrub guys who keep going off, it's your defense!

    I wish Morey took a chance at him Clippers got him for dirt.

    He would be a prototypical combo guard to take pressure off of Harden.

    Austin Rivers is a legend. I was waiting for ever for someone to stir the pot in Harden's face. THIS. IS. EPIC.

    I am celebrating what I see as a basketball fan.
