Can we get to Game 7, in 13 OTs, and just decide that neither of them deserve to advance and the winner of Portland's series goes straight to the NBA Finals? I'd be down with that.

Seriously though...I don't know who to pick. Can't bet against the Warriors anymore cause they always seem to overcome it, so I'm going with them in 6.

Dubs in 7....but hopefully 6.

Game 1 is huge. Pretty close to a must win for Houston given the circumstance. Crazy to say for a game 1, but Houston has to get 1 of the first 2 in GS and game 1 is their best chance.

If GS gets game 1, GS in 5.

If Houston gets game 1, GS in 7.

It’s hard to imagine the clippers lasting longer than the rockets. The rockets are a much better team.

This series should go 6 games at least.

tlance's thesis is the only reason the Clippers won even one game is the Warriors mailed it in (game 2 when up by 31) or just looked past their opponent (game 5). In theory, they won't let their guard down against an obviously more challenging team. Everyone thinks the Warriors got lucky winning that series last year (and there was definitely some luck, there always is when teams win rings), so they should be ready to show everyone they can win vs a healthy Rockets.

In theory.

Everyone taking W’s. I will take Houston just for that fact.
