    How much will Home Court mean? The Clippers did not play well at all in game 2.....and still won by 21. That was their letdown game like what OKC did with Dallas. Durant was HISTORICALLY bad and OKC still almost won that at the buzzer. Portland was bad in Game 1, mad adjustments, Clips played bad and got blown out again in game 2.

    I think Portland gets a game at home and the Clippers are just flaky enough like with what happened last year that they even let Portland back in this series. But it's going to take a big departure from what has been going on for this to become a legitimate series.

    We've won 18 of our last 21 games at home. We've blown out the Warriors and Cavs at home. I like our chances on Saturday. I thought we played better in Game 2 then we did in Game 1. We're getting used to how they're playing us and Mason Plumle nearly had a triple double. He's the key to the series. When Dame gets trapped, he gets the ball to Plumlee and Plumlee can make plays. We need Aminu and Crabbe to make shots. They should shoot better at home. I think we blow them out in Game 3 but Game 4 will be the tough one.

    I hear what you're saying, but this is the 3rd straight game with the same team. That kind of throws out the home records. 18 of 21 is nice and all, but a 3rd straight game and perhaps a lack of confidence... it will be tough both games. I do believe we can win game 3.

    Poor Kingspeed, one of his overly-optimistic predictions finally came true, and no one will even give him $100.
