    You should feel great knowing that your presence here unleashed the jinxmaster general in your favor. You can't prove it but your fellow fans owe you a great debt.

    Jeez. Josh Smith was on fire. God. They say our franchise is snake bit. But Clippers take the cake.

    Rockets beat a bad for team in the Mavs then played a bad playoff and an overrated team in the Clippers. They'll get demolished by the Warriors.. I wouldn't be shocked to see a couple 130 point games by Golden State.. It's just funny seeing how tough the West was this year and seeing the Rockets in the WCF...

    I like you, SB, so don't take this the wrong way... but that's not people doubting your team, that's people straight up disliking your team.

    I'll cheer for fans like you to see success, though. :)

    Sadly he would've been our best player in the playoffs, period.

    Epic collapse. I haven't seen anything like this since our 4th quarter in game 7 of 2000 WCF. Clippers was even worse. Type of collapse that could hang over a franchise for a few seasons.

    Man, I've been trying to bait him into another "Rockets will get swept." comment.

    You guys are cool too, why I keep coming back...I mean I do come back to get Kingspeed going again.

    It was pretty amazing to see. From my eyes it looks like CP3 was the only one out there that was about winning the big game. Blake Griffin COMPLETELY disappered, at one point forgot he was even playing. Deandre Jordan was laughing and smiling all over the place. I've never seen Dwight do that in a playoff loss, he does a lot of smiling and laughing but when we were down 3-1 a lot of people speculated that he was crying with how red his eyes were in the locker room interview.

    Chris was the only one and I actually found myself feeling bad for him because it was clear that those other guys kind of froze up (especially Blake).

    I'll be nice though, that term of being a choker is a temporary thing. the Hakeem Rockets were once known for being "Chokers" which is why Clutch City was termed so. It was named "Chokecity." at first.
    What the Clippers need the most is another guy with heart...Like Wes for example. They also need Blake Griffin to to stop shrinking when his team needs him the most. Was pretty amazing and fortunate to see, I've not seen a big time player choke like that in a while. I completely forgot he was even in the game at points, he'd just pass it around and chuck up that ugly mid range shot.

    Keep jinxspeed going and Dwight will have a 3 inch growth spurt that fixes his back and makes him jump higher, McHale will discover the fountain of youth and become player coach and fuck it if Harden doesn't shave that hideous beard.

    They'll win the championship and Silver will institute a new NBA champ gets first overall draft pick rule.

    ANNNNNNDDDDDDDD......your local tv stations will all run a Bones marathon at the same time....but your power will go out just before. That is luckier than having Warren Buffett make you his sole heir.

    They have the size up front to make things real interesting with the Warriors.

    A healthy Dwight and a good Josh Smith could give these guys some issues. However with Beverly still out the Rockets have no chance of slowing down the Thompson Curry combo. If the Rockets can make 3's and Harden can get to the line consistently they have a chance, but the odds of getting 4 good games from Harden and Howard is good, the odds of getting 4 good games from at least 2 role players in the same game is not. GS wins in 6.
