Series Thread: 2nd Round Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Clippers

[69er]

That's not the point. He basically said harden did not play like a top player in the first round and that was obviously a lie as you can see

He didn't. Got damn go watch the entire series. You like to point out games 3 thru 5, why don't you look at the series as a whole? Harden was a role player in that series, the top player from Houston in that series was Coward. Seriously, I'm trying to think of one Rockets player that looked awful/bad/mediocre against the Mavs, noone stood out. This guy isn't in the same tier as Curry, CP3, Blake, Westbrook. He's a tier below.

The Mavs were embarrassing. I'm already knowing in this series alone, Harden will only have a good game with the refs help and his flailing.

And if you think he was the top player in the first round, man you got some low standards for that dude. He must have played pretty well last night in your eyes.

I guess this is what happens when you have Kobe and DWade injured, people forget what GREAT SGs actually look like.

Who was the top player on Houston in round 1?

Harden avg 28 and 8 in round 1 but supposedly he wasn't the best player? What exactly are you expecting from him? 55 and 20? Seriously

Yeah, I dislike Harden almost as much as I dislike Lebron. But Harden was the Rockets best player in round 1.

 

[bksballer89]

Houston are in the bonus 4 minutes into the first quarter

Still is, because Howard is a coward that doesn't know how to step up and be a leader. That's the reason he went with the Rockets. That being said, I'm thinking Charles Barkley's prediction that the Rockets can easily win this series against the Clippers is...... well That ain't happening

 

[bksballer89]

Houston plays no defense

 

[podsox]

harden took 2 shots in the 2nd quarter and 8 for the half. what is his deal? I know they r doubling him on the pick and roll but big players need to step up

Clippers looked great. Kind of surprised coming off a brutal series. Damn Blake Griffin is really becoming a Superstar.

He always was a superstar. But honestly though, people tend to appreciate Blake's greatness more without CP3. He did it last year when CP3 missed a good chunk of the season, and he's doing it again in the first 2 games against the Rockets. People have no idea how talented this guy is offensively.

Outside of a couple terrible 4th qtrs....Blake has been a fucking monster.

 

[bksballer89]

136 points allowed by Houston in the last 4 quarters? Wow

You can say what you want about Houstons D in the regular season, but they look awful.

caught the dallas bug from the last series

 

[Shanemansj13]

We actually saw defense played in the 3rd...omg

I was hoping to see the Rockets get pummeled again, but at least they have made it a game and if you are the Clippers going home to a 1-1 split is a good thing. Pretty tough to go 2-0 against a team in the top of the standings

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I talk up blake and now he's back to doing absolutely nothing positive lol

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

BLAKE kind of sucks in 4th quarters

He had a few stinkers (and a great one) versus SA

But overall he has disappeared quite a bit in 4th quarters in the playoffs
