re: Houston Rockets vs. LA Clippers | Game 6 | 9:30 (CT) on ESPN | LAC 3-2

Clips in 6
If Paul misses another game or 2 or is just not very effective, the Clippers can't really win, even with the Rockets struggling defensively.
If he can play and produce anywhere near his normal levels, the Clippers are definitely the favorites.
Lots of IFs!!!

He'll be back. He'll be effective. Clips are the better team. Clips in 6.

They held him out last night because the goal was already accomplished, winning a game on the road. Anything more was just butter. Keep in mind these guys found a way to beat the Spurs in a 7 game series. That tells me everything I need to know. I'm no Clippers fan, far from it.

Historically, plenty of teams have lost after beating the Spurs.

They had a chance to win the 1st 2 on the road which obviously gives you a HUGE advantage in the series. I don't think winning game 1 should or did make them any less likely to play Paul in game 2.

Lil Doc gave the clips some life late with his own 5-0 run
Not to nit pick, but it wasn't a 5-0 run. Harden hit two FTS between his baskets. Reggie Miller said that but he's pretty awful.

I went with Clips in 3, but obviously I was wrong. I'll admit it.
It will be interesting to see the adjustments leading up to game 3, particularly if the Clippers don't have Paul. Slowing the tempo and limiting TOs plays in the Rockets favor in that case, the Clippers struggle to get good shots in the halfcourt without him. While what the Rockets are running isn't much better, Harden's ability as a multiple threat trumps Griffin.

I thought getting stuffed by the rim summarized Austin's career nicely...then that happened.
edit: I've watched that play ten times and this was the first time I saw Griffin's reaction...

You guys can argue intricacies all you want. Clips in 6. I'll be back when that's done.

If Paul comes back the Rockets need to hit some more 3s to win the series. Tonight was ugly as all hell
Posted on 5/7/15 at 8:58 am to Buckeye06
Absolutely. Smith and Ariza have been frustrating to watch offensively in this series.

My guess is Doc was afraid of Jordan being sent to the line repeatedly...he wouldn't have been able to reciprocate it given the foul trouble.
Not putting Jordan immediately back on the floor once the clock went below 2:00 was a mistake though.
Posted on 5/7/15 at 9:07 am to brgfather129
He was hitting his free throws (I think 4/4) until under 5:00 when he missed both and then got benched.
Not putting him back in under 2 min. was bizarre.

Bro Paul is gonna be on one leg all series, sorry I'm not shaking in pants when Ariza shut his little arse down when he was 100% healthy in the last matchup. HOU played like crap the 1st 2 games, the Clips played 2 of their best halfs of the whole season. I stand by HOU in 6.
