IMO, we can't get away with resting CP3 anymore. Some people are waaaaay too overconfident about a series that's only tied 1-1, with the Rockets having all the momentum now and being a really good road team. You'd think the Memphis and OKC series of the last two years would have taught our fans some humility, but I guess not.

I thought CP sucked and was a fake leader who chokes away the playoffs?

I already owned up to being wrong days ago, I didn't think he had that Game 7 in him. And nobody's happier about being wrong than me, anyway. I'm far from a hater - I've just been hard on this team because I want to see this franchise hang a championship banner, and this core had only ever found ways to disappoint in the playoffs in previous years.

That being said, choker or not, you can't start Austin Rivers in a playoff series against the #2 seed in the West and expect to keep winning. Especially now that the Rockets have figured out that with Doc's kid in the starting lineup, they can focus literally all of their defensive attention on Blake and the rest of the team wilts. Sitting CP3 even one more game will cost us the series, IMO.

I have to agree with the Austin comment however one way or the other I see us winning. I think we have the more focused and tougher mentality than the rocks. at some point lets hope cp3 can play.

Just want to say, I hate Blake's reaction here.
We were patient with you in Game 2. He messed up. Next play. For that one particularly, next game.

It's a natural reaction, I bet it was way more restrained than the one most of us had at that same moment. But yeah, it was a turnover, it happens, just sucked it had to happen at that time. Just like Blake's in game 2 and Paul's against OKC last year. No need to get on Austin for that particular play.

I don't think you want it any more badly than the rest of us here, but winning a championship is not easy you know. No need to throw your toys at every disappointment like you're entitled to it.

I reacted the same way as Blake

[Quake Griffin]

Understandable for a fan but Griffin?

Kind of showed him up if you ask me AND he's the only Clipper on the court who reacted that way.

I don't give a **** how bad Austin is. He's here and he's gonna play. The team has to get behind him. I appreciate Mr. "Suck my dick bitch" giving Austin the pat on the head at the end of the game and telling him it'll be okay.
