hope this is true
and we better not let scrub like austin rivers lite it up against us

I fully expect Paul to play and the Rockets better be ready to roll.

Did Dwight play in any of the games against the Clippers this past season?

harden should be on barnes
he's not going to chase redick
expect to see lot of ariza on paul and brewer on redick/crawford

Nope. Missed all 4. Last season he played in 3 out of 4 games avg. 19ppg on 60% shooting and 9.3rpg. He had 4 blocks, 2 steals, 7 turnovers and 11 personal fouls in those 3 games. He was 15 of 30 from the free throw line in those 3 games.

Good thing about playing Clippers is we probably won't see much Hack-A-Howard. Bad news is the late west coast game starts and finishes.

Yep Hack-Howard = Hack-Jordan

Harden should be MVP clear cut. I feel bad for the clippers tonight. Beard gone snap.

It 's ok...coming in 2nd sets him up to win it next year if he has another season like this one.

Remember when this happened to Olajuwon? He went nuts, we won the title. Beard has even more to proove in this round. Man, it'd be funny if we demolished the Clippers, meet the Warriors in the WCF, and obliterate them as well. I am not taking anything away from Curry, he is a fantastic player, and the Warriors have clearly been the best team this season. I just think that when it comes down to who was more valuable to their team this season, Harden wins by a country mile!

Let's go Rockets, what's done is done, time to get ready for game 1, round 2.

put harden on barnes would be the smart move. if they're gonna roll with the old pgs who cant defend their position, then ariza on paul.

MaxRider · Post #593 » by **MaxRider** » Mon May 4, 2015 10:45 pm

Local broadcasters until the last few years had the opportunity to work games into the second and third playoff rounds, but those games now belong exclusively to NBA network partners Turner Sports and ESPN. So Worrell, game analysts Matt Bullard and Clyde Drexler and studio analyst Calvin Murphy are done for the season

that really suck

in the past few matchup Harden is already on Barnes
wouldn't surprise me if we see Ariza on Paul and Brewer on Redick and Harden on Barnes/Crawford
we need to keep the turnover down
Clippers is not a high turnover team so our fast break point will be lower in this series

Dream was the reigning MVP so it's a little different. This is more like 1993 when Barkley won MVP and Hakeem finished 2nd. Hakeem finished 5th in MVP voting that year Robinson won. Even Patrick Ewing had more MVP points than Hakeem in 1995 if you can believe that. Finals MVP more important award anyway.

No Paul tonight, so...this is a must win, right? They can't afford to drop game 1 at home vs a Paul-less Clippers team.

Hope they don't take it for granted.

zapatasblood · Post #599 » by **zapatasblood** » Tue May 5, 2015 12:21 am

To me this series begins and end with howard. He needs to punsh the frontline of the Clippers, mainly dj, if they look to protect the paint. The second key is Brewer and Smith in working over the second unit. third harden can't force it.

Wait no Paul in game one?!! rockets have to win this
