Expecting our toughest game yet. Houston have their backs to the wall, going down 1-3 means the series is pretty much over. They got destroyed on Friday, CP might not be at 100% but he's out there, so they have no more room for error.
I'm expecting them to come out strong and a bit worried that JJ/Austin won't be that hot. But Blake/DJ/Barnes should also have a better outing. CP needs to control the tempo and let others do the heavy lifting. Jamal should just try and repeat Friday's understated performance (less chucking, more passing and stealing).

I want our guys to stay focused and take care of business. After the marathon against the Spurs, a few extra days of rest would be great, since Memphis-Warriors will probably go the distance.

Clips need to take care of business. Hopefully there will be no shenanigans to "make things interesting" and that the team just goes out there plays with purpose. This is a golden opportunity.

This is our chance to take control of the series. I wouldn't expect JJ and Austin Rivers to have repeat performances from the other night, but it means someone else can step up for game 4. As long as we can withstand Houston early in the game, I like our chances.

The Spurs blew us out by 30 in game 3.

NO LET DOWNS TODAY!

If Jason Terry is guarding Redick he'll have another great game.

pretty sure redick will have another great game no matter what.

they might put ariza on him (which is their best option) but pretty much any way they go it's all downhill. for the rockets.

Predict Austin Rivers' statline.

I got...

35 points
15 assists
6 boards
4 TOs.

Is that over the rest of the series?

I'd be happy with anything over 12 points and 45% FG (non-garbage time), 4 boards, 3 assists.

37 pts. 12 reb. 13 as. 6 steals. 3 bl. 0 TO

Best of luck today, guessing you should go up 3-1 unless HOuston get 64 FT's again

I hope DJ plays big minutes. Let's compete on the boards, avoid fouling Harden and hold onto the ball and we will win.
