It's exciting to watch them. Not something we've been able to say lately for an extended period of time

Clips went into OKC and shut them down so let's hope BG doesn't drop 30+ on us tonight.

I hate living on the east coast. I mean am I really going to stay up on a Wed. til 1 am to watch a regular season game? If it's the playoffs you MAY get me to stay up, but no way for a normal game

Trudat bro. It's sometimes tough for us Central guys as well if there is an OT/2OT with the first game. They start the doubleheaders entirely too late.

I just want to thank the NBA for giving the rockets the two best teams on the 2nd night of the two back to backs on a 5 game road trip.

Did anyone else just hear Doc Rivers say that Harden reminds him of Paul Pierce?

Funny, I made the same comparison like a week ago and a few really smart posters said I was crazy.

I read that. And immediately thought of it when I heard his comment. "paul pierce at guard".

Nice call!

I agree with the Paul Pierce comparison. Idk why people were bashing Rockets fans for this, I think Harden has potential to be better

Ehh, relies to much on the flop and not that good at D.

He's not just a flopper, he's the best in the league at drawing fouls. Crafty player, similar to Pierce which is what Rivers said.

Tough loss. We just don't match up well with the Clippers.

We played much better this time around. I'm loving the addition of Hamilton. Gave up our 3rd string pg to get a wing player whose taking Caspi and Garcia's minutes. Looking like another good under the radar move by Morey.

Matt Barnes looks like El DeBarge

I love the Hamilton trade. At first I was unsure just because I didn't know very much about him but I'm learning to just trust whatever Morey does

Also I heard Charlie Villanueva wants to go to Houston if he gets bought out. Could be a solid addition to the bench

We really don't have an answer for Griffin. It's a mismatch putting Jones on him and the Asik/Howard combo doesn't work. The one thing we have on the Clips is our depth. Our bench stepped up pretty big last night.

Is it me or is Lin getting worse every game?

Trust me...Charlie V is garbage and you do not want him anywhere near your team.

I wouldn't mind him as a 3rd-4th guy off the bench

I thought this was the best defensive matchup VS Griffin/Jordan last night. Asik does a DAMN good job of just moving his feet and keeping a strong base. He was not biting on Griffins fakes like Jones & D-Mo do. But it just bogs everything down so much on the other end of the floor.

It is NOT just you. I'm loving Jordan Hamiltons addition to, but I was missing AB last night. Lins defense is no worse then AB's. He is unbelievably terrible at staying in front of anybody.

And Collisons scoring in the 4th was almost entirely on Harden.
