CN's team with the quit. It's like they think Game 6 in LA will be an easy win. Even if that's the case, that's not the mindset of a championship team.Quote:

Fuck it hope the rockets force game 7 too, would make some shit pretty interesting around these parts.

if Clips can cut it to 10, Doc needs to consider hack a dwight
If the Rockets really manage to choke this game, that franchise should just be contracted. Don't see it happening though.

McFail still shitting his pants in fear by hacking even though this team only just now decided to start trying.
jesus christ mcfail. your team scored 3 buckets in 3 possessions and you start hacking.
The atrocious defensive effort shows why this comeback attempt is just fools' gold.
Exactly the Hawks almost did it the other night with a 21 point comebackQuote:

Rivers and Barnes a combined 1 for 13. Where was this performance last series?
I'm so sick of commercials I need to DVR these games. How is that farmers only shit so popular? They constantly blast commercials
Winner of game 6 will win this series.
They were playing a shitty defensive team last series.Quote:

Why don't they start fouling Terrence Jones instead, he is horrible free throw shooter? :lol
piss poor effort by the Clips... I expect them to play much better next game
CN needs to have to faith. The Clips have bounced back after every loss that made them seem dead in the water. I thought they were done for after Game 3 against the Spurs, then after Game 5, then after going down late in the 4th in Game 7, but they've proven they have what it takes to respond.
Clips by 20 in Game 6.
The hacking is taking away fast break opportunities from the misses.... hate that side of the strategy.
Much more effort this game
Rocket fans are going to be very talkative today...
Clippers seem to play their best ball when their is a sense of urgency. They should win the next one.
UH-OH!!
These are teams that are fueled by the crowd.Quote:

Wonder how the Clippers will show up in game 6
To be fair, that was the first round and the Spurs were the heavy favorites to win that series. The Clippers were basically playing with house money that whole time. Now they're the favorites, they just had to close out a 3-1 lead against a team that was dead in the water, and they couldn't do it.Quote:

Given our recent playoff history (Games 5 and 7 against Phoenix, nearly blowing a 3-1 lead to Memphis, getting backdoored by Memphis, Games 5 and 6 against OKC) it's hard not to brace for the latest chokejob.
I really hope I'm wrong, but my gut is right a lot, and it's telling me that this game will come back to bite us.
Clippers will close it out at home.Quote:

They were both ruled out for the post season.Quote:

Hopefully he'd at least fire Doc and blow it up before keeling over. If they blow this series, this core doesn't deserve another chance.Quote:

No Clips have blown them it multiple times there. Haven't seen Houston play hard consistently enough. Which they need to leave it all on the floor game 6. Don't go out like quitters.Quote:

The reason:::Pop adamantly refused to win Game 82. Coulda held a gun to his head,,,once an idea takes root he's incapable of consideration.Quote:

Yep, Choke City, no chance for the Rockets.Quote:

Just pointing out how laughable the "media wants the Clippers" argument is.Quote:

But, Media wants a tidal wave and they'll get it should you get into the Finals. In this case it'll be just as good as ringing. You get there, Cleveland rings, MLK is reanimated, Sterling is hoisted up again, whitey is beaten black & blue,,,then sent to virtual reeducation camps once again. If we say one fuckin' word untoward we're beaten again......Media sells oodles of "papers." You get your LA privileges back, you beat off, moment of crisis you squint eyes and I take off after you with Oriental hodge podge.Quote:

By the way, it seems like I talk noise about the Clippers and their lack of fans but I'd love nothing more than to see them become THE team in SoCal. I can't stand the Lakers and their "fans."
Cal, sweetheart, you must "Reply With Quote" in order to keep the responses & conversation cogent. Do you understand?Quote:

Even then. You don't "Reply with Quote" only when you're responding to the OP's initial post. Though it is permissible to use a (^) for a post directly above you. That is my invention.Quote:

But, he did exactly that last nite. You were just fortunate that the Clippers were as retarded to start it as you were.Quote:
