    Yeah I mean I hate the Clippers on a more personal level, so I wanted Houston to win... but after seeing just a few minutes of that game Houston doesn't deserve it. As gutless as I find the Clippers, the Rockets are just unacceptable. I find both of these teams repulsive so one of them losing will be nice.

    Also props again to @thkthebest for getting some DEWM in here! Suck it Rocket fans!

    My favorites: "This team is dumb" and "Bruh. McHale is the Harden of coaches." :D:D:D:D:D

    Either way, neither have a chance at GS, so let these two teams beat each other up.

    I don't like the Clippers, but I do think Blake Griffin can be a dominating player, without Chris Paul. With Chris Paul, he's a flopping, whining, settling type of player. He's too talented to be a 2nd option on the Clippers.

    ^What that one poster said questioning Harden, Howard and Smith being the "leaders" of the squad? Laughable and true at the same time...

    Biff has improved each year I have to admit. Still got to cosign what @gcclaker said earlier. Plus Flop City and the Evil Empire in effect switched franchises in the '70's so they will always be connected to some extent.

    Reading about an incensed McFail ripping into his team for playing dumb AND half-assed? Priceless!

    CP3 went from questionable to doubtful for tonight's game.

    Well, they already won one without him. Gives him a chance to rest and come back strong.

    Paul out - > loss this time (ft parade for Harden is coming). Biff may post 3rd straight triple double though ;).

    clips came out flat; like they knew this one was a give-up. not sure I blame them, but if I'm doc, I'm telling them that every minute they force Houston's two legitimate nba starters to play is another minute in which they might pull a hammy.

    Griffin already has 22 points halfway through the 2nd.

    The only offense Dwight has is a lob he can dunk. Glad we didn't get stuck with him. Go Clips! They don't even need to play CP3 until they actually lose a game.

    I'm not sure what Rockets are doing, but if they lose this game, the series might be over.

    I'm starting to think the Clippers may have a legit chance at the title.

    They are looking good and Griffin is a beast. I think I completely changed my mind about this guy.

    I find myself rooting for no team in this one, only a player, Ariza. Love that dude.

    Yep I'll drink to that. Ariza was one of those I dreaded letting go.

    88 free throws this game. 58 for Houston. Fun basketball. Man I'm glad Harden didn't win MVP.

    Even Houston fans won't deny the help Harden gets from refs.
