Let's go Clippers!

Rockets are an interesting matchup. I don't think any PF on that team can handle Harell, so playing him at PF would be a solid choice in this game. I like the idea of pressuring Harden just to keep him on his toes defensively, though of course the Rockets also have CP, but just pressuring both of them in general.

Wes getting minutes = no chance of winning. He needs to be permabenched ASAP. Again - someone please tell me again how Doc is a good coach doing a great job this year... I need a good laugh.

Both teams with a high D pressure, specially clippers with two stickers on Paul and Harden.

This is just some good coaching. Clippers have frustrated the Rockets more than any team in the league

It's only active if your post is the last one in the thread. You can edit and replace it with something else if it makes you feel better. I usually replace my double-posts with pictures of Clippers Spirit cheerleaders to turn lemons into lemonade.

Houston's announcers are always good for some laughable takes.
