[ClutchFans] Clutch City Lives! Rockets pull off historic comeback, advance to West Finals

That's awesome. Each of their faces are funny. CP goes from cool to flip-out in an instant. And Dwight barely seems phased... Like his annoying little brother won't leave him alone.

 

reposting from the game thread:

My mind is really blown. For the past three years, the Clippers have owned the Rockets. They meet in the playoffs, get down 1-3, then win three straight elimination games, including the epic comeback in game six to eliminate the Clippers and go to the Western Conference Finals.

Amazing.

 

I thought of this video when I saw Chris Paul guard J. Harden down the stretch and than realized Harden is only 25

I hope they can defend curry cause his last game he was in the zone splashing at will

 

I never legit vote in these polls, the jinx is real

 

That's because it's still brand new!

 

Man, **** yo mama!

 

My prediction: Rockets in 6. Rockets takes 3 home games, and steals one on the road.

Grizzlies exposed Warriors's weakness in round 2, that Warriors need hot perimeter shooting to win. Tony Allen and Mike Conley's injuries really screwed Grizzlies in that series.

On defense, Rockets have players defend the perimeter, with Dwight protecting the rim. Grandpas can stay with Curry, like they did against Chris Paul. Ariza will shut down Klay. Harden will be on Harrison Barn. Warriors don't have much inside game, which makes it much easier to guard the perimeter.

On offense, Rocket's inside game will be too much for Warriors to handle. Bogut is a good defender against average centers. But he is no DeAndre Jordan. A healthy playoff Dwight will eat Bogut alive. Dwight/Smith/Jones/Capela will be too much and too atheltic for Warriors front court.

ESPN does not give Rockets a chance against Warriors, just like they did not give Rockets any chance against Clippers. I will be happy for Rockets to prove them wrong again!

 

Rockets are on borrowed time, but maybe playing with house money will help them. I doubt it, though.

That and their home games will be in front of the least deserving fan base in the NBA outside of maybe Miami's. So much quit among fans here. How many did we have writing them off last round on this board?

Warriors in 5. This assumes Harden sells about 18 free throws worth of fouls in a game.

 

at this time i say worriors in 7. but that's subject to change w/o notice. we shall see...

 

Bad news is 4.36% of the ppl who voted have already been proven wrong.

Good news is the other 95.64% of us are still in it!.

 

Gotta take the game to more night. I still say Rockets in six. Originally thought we'd get the first game tho
