I don't like this clippers team they are filled with to many knuckleheads. I hope OKC or the Spurs beat them.

One more game for the Rockets to seek revenge. Also, it's possible the Rockets may see them again in the playoffs.....payback time.:grin:

Dude, could someone tell Lin just stop being this tough guy going to the paint???? I mean, look, the refs are not going to give him the calls anymore, we know that. And hold up (conspiracy theory here), but right now they're going to transfer most of the fouls to Harden rather than Lin, even though Lin gets WHACKED way more times, and much HARDER than Harden. Someone just tell him to quit going into the paint like he does unless he has a clear and open lane.

If you guys don't know what I am talking about, just think of all the feather touch fouls Harden gets. Blake Griffin gets it the worse, remember that flagrant foul they called on Parsons? I mean, the refs looked at the tape and they still gave Griffin the flagrant foul. What about that foul Toney Parker committed on Lin and Lin's face popped back? The refs literally waited a full 2 seconds, one of them didn't even want to call it when he had the clearest angle, but a second one finally came in and called it. They were even having a debate on whether or not to give Parker the foul and Parker was complaining!!!! I hope Lin doesn't do this form here on out, but next time you guys watch the game, observe how hesitant the refs are calling the foul in Lin's favor.

Dude, face it guys, Lin is not going to get calls this season. Play his game, distribute and shoot some mid jumpers, but don't go into the lane with 3 or 4 guys. The refs are just not going to call it. It's kind of like how the refs always want the Rockets to lose in favor of OKC, Miami, LAL etc. They schedule the Rockets w/ 25 b2b and usually the tail end of that team is one of those supposedly elite teams.

I HAVE YET TO SEE ONE, JUST ONE, time where the Rockets played an elite team on a non back to back. I might have actually seen one, but I can't remember. Until the Rockets play a so called elite team w/ at least 1 days worth of rest, and not a 3rd game in 4th night scenario, I am not willing to concede that the Rockets are inferior to Clippers, OKC etc. Cheers.

Seriously, I agree 100%. The refs are not going to give Lin the calls unless he's bleeding.

I'm not willing to look into the whole schedule, but off the top of my head I know the Rockets had two full days of rest before the first Clippers game, while the Clippers were on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, as well as their 3rd game in 4 nights... without Chris Paul. Stop trying to find excuses, you are what your record says you are.

Just because the NBA does it countless of times and they show no sign of doing anything different doesn't mean they can't and that it's right, come one now...

when the Lakers and Clippers were playing on TNT Thursday night, I heard the announcer on the radio state that the game would start no later than 7:50, regardless of whether the earlier game on the schedule (MIA OKC) was finished or not.

the league does not allow a game to start later than 7:50 PM.

so, yeah, they don't mess with start times to appease James Harden fans in the second night of a back to back.
