NBA: West Semifinal Series: 2 Houston v 3 LA Clippers

[Bulaien999]

Rockets lucked out by getting clippers without CP3 fully healthy. Rockets in 6

[ImDaNuts]

Rockets in 7.

[GuerillaBlack]

Gentlemen sweep.

[djohn2oo8]

Gentlemen sweep.

Lol what makes you so confident? Rox struggled on defense against the Mavs.

[sook]

I'm not so sure, they have our number . Like djohn2oo8 I want this really bad. Golden State is an easier matchup, regular season against both these teams are deceiving. Clippers are much better than our record vs them, and Golden State is actually on even footing in a head to head matchup.

Paul is injured, Big Baby got hurt, Blake took a fall at the end last night and took a while getting up, while the Rockets rested. Clippers are coming in banged and bruised. That and the Rockets teams they played during the regular season are different now. One of the Clips wins against the Rockets came with Tarik Black, Francisco Garcia, and Canaan in the starting lineup . Plus, the Clippers don't have a bench. I say in 5 if Paul is hurt. In 6 if his injuries are just theatrics.

Still, I'm not confident in Terrence Jones' defense on Griffin. He owned him last time. Ans Red and Crawford are Rocket killers. It's going to be a tough series.

If Paul really is hurt (and not just Paul Pierce hurt) it changes the series a lot. If he can't run around, and you make him beat you instead of letting him facilitate, the rockets should win.

[Double-Up]

Let's not get too y, this team just beat the defending champs. As far as Griffin put Smith or Howard on him.

This.

[Caltex2]

But they beat the defending champs fully needing every ounce of HCA (at least in the last game) and mostly healthy. They will have neither benefit this series. It was the physically and emotionally bruising series that if you're a Rockets fans, you hoped for (I was hoping for an OT or two last night though) and while it can be said that it'd have been preferable for the Rockets to have swept the Mavs, perhaps that's a little too much rest and thus, nearly a week off should do the Rockets just fine.

[mkurts]

Clippers win if they bring back Monty McCutcheon, but if not then Rockets in 6

[Duncanforthree]

Coin flip but I see it going 7.

Meanwhile the Dubs are chilling and waiting after another sweep.

[ambchang]

Clippers in six is my pick.

[313]

Clips win in 5 or 6 with a healthy CP3. Rockets in 6 with a hobbled Paul.

[D-Wade]

Clips in 7. No way they win this first game though.

[JamStone]

In Houston and going to the game. No rooting interest so I will root for a season ending injury to either Matt Barnes or Josh Smith.

[baseline bum]

So now Chris Paul is out. Can this le run get any easier for Golden State?

[ElNono]

No rooting interest here, but I'll be mildly surprised if the Rockets don't win this series...

You, sir, are a saint.

[Robz4000]

Chuck just said outside CP3 and Crawford no one on the Clippers can create

[RD2191]

Rockets are huge gots and so are their fans. Hope the Clips can somehow pull a win.

[baseline bum]

That shot by Rivers

[baseline bum]

Holy , that got hit a three

[baseline bum]

And then he has Terry run right by him
