Once upon a time, I was told the Celtics were trash for going seven with Atlanta. I was told LeBron was some kind of golden god. I was told Pierce would never get it done. They told me Ray Allen was washed up. Everyone forgets the preseason hate the 08 team got.

Once upon a time, I was told The Mavericks would get swept by the Lakers after going 7 with Portland and having a few awful games. They told me the Heat had it locked up.

This game will separate the men from boys. The percentages about home court, etc can be thrown out the window. This is it.

I believe in your team. Why? Because I believe in myself picking you guys? No. Because I have see Chris Paul not let this team die. I have seen the look in his eyes. The same look Truth and LeBron get. He will give you everything even while injured. Blake is man enough to weep up over a loss like this. The Rockets don't care. They do not mind going home. They are not a team of fate like this team potentially is.

The Basketball gods sail with you through this tempest. When the storm is over, remember who believed and who did not.

It's time to buy into your team. It's time to go all in. Everyone is hating on you because it's easy to do. Let's make them choke on the crow.

This ends with victory. Not heartbreak. James Harden is Mark Price. Blake Griffin is Jordan. Prepare for a game of the ages.

Or you can join the sheep, it's easier in a way I suppose, but why take the easy way out?

Go Clippers. You against the world. I will be rooting from the shores.

Thank you for that post, truth.

It didn't even hit me how awful the loss was until this morning as i was driving to the airport. Absolutely painful, and i don't expect it to get any better. My guess is many others feel the same way.

It'll be a long wait from here till sunday. Try and hang tight. Yeah the articles are gonna suck and the media's gonna suck and this feeling sucks. But for everyone's own sake try and stay positive or you'll drown in the negativity. And we'll see what comes of game 7.

matt barnes is shooting 26% from the field and 12.5% from 3 during the last 5 games, either he is injured or he is bound to have a good game.

JJ has had two bad games in a row, due for a good one.

jamal hasn't shot better than 44% in a game this series, despite shot selection, he usually has a few good games to balance out his handful of bad ones. He has to be due as well.

Obviously getting ahead of myself, but if the Clippers win game 7 against houston, and take one of the first two games against the warriors on the road, or the first two games at home against the Grizzlies, no one will be condemning game 6.

barnes is injured. his right shoulder is busted. since we have no depth i don't really see how he's gonna contribute.

of course doc thinks that matt barnes can somehow be placed by jamal crawford (lol) so i guess we'll see how that goes on sunday.

Can we just play Hamilton (or he is not active for the playoffs), Hudson or even Turkoglu in place of Barnes ffs.

And no Crawford unless he hits every shot.

So **** pissed we are even in this situation. 3-1 lead with two back to back chok games. Even with the win the Warriors don't lose double digit leads.

Fkn Grizz. Needed them to win so we'd play late and I'd be able to watch it. Now we play at 3:30 my time and I'm working 10:30-8:30

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope we don't forget that Houston make their money from deep. I don't care how tired you are, rotate and close out.

For sure we'll be ready. We've already won there w/o Paul and this go round will be even better with him back and ready to win. We have to come out aggressive from start to finish, play solid perimeter defense, make our free throws and go for the high % shots on every possession. Leave it all out there tomorrow. Go Clippers!!!
