    griffin's #s tend to drop off significantly in the 2nd half. it may have to do with teams making adjustments, but i see that mainly his strength/stamina issue.

    all the flopping and shortcomings aside, griffin is a very very good 4. but maybe he should allocate his physical strength and pace the game better.

    Some people are just miserable fans. What's the point of sports and being a fan of a team if you can't enjoy it?

    We need Mchale to start giving some love to Jones. Give that boy confidence and he will ball out of his mind. Our PF positions' abilities to shoot the three and spread the floor is crucial in this series. That's why if we had dmo's 3 point shooting and post moves, we would be in the driver's seat.

    Pretty good. But the tone this guy has kinda imply the Clippers beat themselves, which I disagree with. We've taken them out their games 2 games in a row. Its more of us playing hard & smarter on defense

    it takes 2 to tango. all great comebacks take both teams to do sth. crazy, imo.

    You have to wonder if the high minutes and heavy workload for Griffin, with no real bench relief, over the last 13 games is exhausting him, leading to those moments Nick spoke of.

    Why is the Narrative from the media about how the Clippers collapsed and not at all about what the Rockets did to change it up.

    I think some of our losses were a combination of the Clips out playing us and we folded under the pressure.

    I think it's only fair to say it was the same thing in game 6, just switch teams.

    I also think fatigue was a factor for Blake and the Clips, but that's where earning the second seed is paying off for us.

    Yes, absolutely. They have been playing him 40mpg with games every other day for two straight weeks. I'm worried with game 7 being after two days rest that he'll have more juice to finish strong.

    Props from a Seoul Warriors fan

    You comeback was one of the craziest, grittiest things I've seen in the NBA (LOL.. I also liked ours against NO). Prior to that I wasn't really rooting for anyone in this series, but now I'd love to see the Rockets finish the gutting.^^

    Found you guys from a link on warriorsworld... nice forum.

    Thank God that McHale has coached us to 'free-lance' all season long :p

    This is my first time seeing one of these videos & really impressed.It comes across like coaches watching tape & giving feedback, such as a fan you never really get to see.
