    At this point, let's see what KJ can do. He can at least provide some length on the defensive end. Maybe he can be Troy Daniels for us on defense.

    Rockets, whatever you do, just don't quit.

    A mentally intact team - this would happen. But it didn't in game 1.

    He's out with a broken wrist. Do you even keep up with the team?

    It just slipped my mind that he got hurt in the last game of the season.

    James harden can't be afraid to take his step back jumper, whether it be a 3 or long/mid range 2. EVERYONE has to crash the offensive boards... We have been jacking up stupid shots and everyone just stands outside the 3point line. CRASH THE DAMN GLASS!!!

    On defense, STOP LEAVING THEIR WINGS OPEN!! Chris Paul will take his man off the dribble and run into Dwight. Let him have the tough contested 2! They are murdering us because we sag off on Crawford/reddick/Barnes/rivers... WHY!?! I swear they make a few passes and our whole defense collapses leaving someone wide freaking open for 3.

    Rockets will play toe to toe for 3 quarters and somehow the clippers will go on a 18 - 3 run in the 4th and celebrate their way to the WCF. Several rocket players will get ejected, will be one of the worse elimination game losses since 2005 Dallas.

    They don't seem to be calling the goal tending on DJ as much as Dwight. There were numerous times the ball hit the glass first and DJ prevented it from going it's natural course afterwards. This combined with other things just adds to the frustration and weakens the Rocket's composure.

    Clippers complete the gentleman's sweep on the Rockets court.

    It is called the gentleman's sweep because the other team is kind enough not to end A teams season in front of their fans.

    Rockets clearly don't care anymore. This will be another blow out
