Huge game 7 tomorrow. I think clips can do it cuz the only teams that have bounced back from down 3-1 were all all-time great teams and lets face it, these rockets aren't that. But on the real, ITS THE CLIPPERS so anything can happen

I do hope the Clippers will make it through to the next round

That always reminds me of the 2010 World Cup where i was watching second half of matchesat 5am before heading out to work

However I would not be surprised to see Houston make the Conference Finals next season, really this year they could have but Clippers decided to weirdly show up.

The Rockets won final 3 games after "Real Coach" Kevin McHale switched Smith-Jones in starting lineup......swapped Ariza defending Redick.


Doc Rivers is now 1st coach in NBA history to blow multiple 3-1 series leads.

 

This is going to be a looooong summer for the Clippers who have more than $50M tied up in five guys......DeAndre Jordan is now a unrestricted free agent.

Teams in last 20 years to win after down 3-1: Rockets ('14-15), Suns ('05-06), Pistons ('02-03), Heat ('96-97), Rockets ('94-95)

ROCKETS Cashed All The Checks!!!!

Rockets outscored Clippers 125-83 in last 4 quarters. A 25-11 run to close out 3rd Quarter, gives them 17 point lead (85-68) heading to 4th Quarter......Clippers outscored Rockets 32-38 in the 4th Quarter.

Were you not entertained?

HISTORY

[Bytor Peltor]

Clippers @ Rockets Game Seven (series over)

The Rockets only won two 3rd Quarters this series: Game 2, Game 7

The Rockets NEVER trailed in Game 7

1st Q 28-21
Halftime 56-46
3rd Q 85-68
End Of Game 113-100

Blake Griffin: 27 Points, 11 Rebounds, 6 Assists
Chris Paul: 26 Points, 10 Assists, 5 Rebounds
DeAndre Jordan: 16 Points, 17 Rebounds......zero first-half offensive rebounds for Rockets when DeAndre Jordan was on the floor (20:57).

 

Pablo Prigioni played huge in Game 7 (his 38th birthday).

Doc Rivers: "They outplayed us. We got destroyed."
Doc Rivers: "I was a player in this league 13 years and I had my heart broken 13 straight years. ... There is only one winner."
Chris Paul: "Ricky Bobby"

Kevin McHale:"We just had a lot of guys play well, that's what it takes."
Kevin McHale: only person to come back from a 3-1 series deficit as an NBA player AND as a head coach.

 

How You Like Me Now?


@MagicJohnson - I thought the Spurs taught the Clippers how to win after a tough 7 game series. I was wrong. The Clippers are still the Clippers.


@mcuban - Congrats to the Rockets. Gotta admit I was wrong. A lot.of guys stepped up. Congrats @dmorey


Two finales yesterday and one later this week:
Clipper Men
Man Men
Letterman

Hey, i gave yall the slow clap and i did specifically say, "its the Clippers so anything can happen." Congrats to Rockets. However, yall did realize that Rockets been allowing over 115ppg in these entire playoffs right? That's not good. Warriors can conceivably score 130 if rockets keep playing defense like that. So good luck

Btw. Im officially calling that the Nobody Really Wanted It Series because, well, both teams exchanged "mail it in" games and had body languagelike "fuck it im just here cuz i don't wanna get fined."

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Also, you guys are happy now but admit it, when Rockets gave up those back to back 25 pointosses surely you at least momentarily agreed with me no?

To be sure, im not in any way a Clippers fan, indeed i kinda liked them more before Doc grounded Lob City. I also used to like James Harden, a lot, until he morphed into the Flop Masterpiece Theatre

[Rob Instigator]

I have watched every minute of every game in that series, and goddamn was being down 3-1 disheartening, but as an old Rockets fan I know and have seen firsthand, that teams can come back from down 3-1 through sheer willpower. The Clippers did not want it.

I understand how Clipper fans are waking up and walking around Sob City today......their Clipper gear now in the back of the closet......such as life living in a city of Purple and Gold.

Donald Sterling wanted his girlfriend to bring black guys around more than the Clippers wanted it!

Hence The Nobody Really Wanted It Series

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Poor Clippers.. i just realized they possibly have a larger fan base outside of LA then within.. when Lakers are 14 games into the playoffs the city is saturated in purple and gold, fans everywhere. Clippers? Its like nobody even noticed, like as if it were a team from another city. Ondeed i see more Bulls and previously Heat fans than anything remotely Clippers.

[Rob Instigator]

we live in a time when the Clippers and the Warriors are deep in playoffs and the Lakers are a JOKE.

strange days.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Oh, the entire NBA knows the Lakers will be back soon. Lakers success is like Judgement Day, its inevitable. Skynet is drenched in purple and gold

[Rob Instigator]

only when Kobe is gone. No one wants to play with that toxic asshole, self-nicknamed Black mamba. odd nickname for a rapist
