how are you any good? you are giving Austin Rivers 20 minutes a game?? you have no playoff potential Well we are 37-12 since we got him....18-15 when he arrived...he (along with House and Faried)did help us to stay afloat until CP3, Capela and Gordon got back...I really do like his defense off the bench as well.....we are much deeper now.... most of those wins came from chris paul not playing its also the regular season mike dantoni is your coach harden cant play the way he does in the post season and you have chris paul, whos going to get hurt when the defense gets tougher you wont get past the 2nd round |

I am pretty sure you had us not getting past the 1st round.....again I will say we will see...Harden playing the way he does got us into the Western conference finals and a hamstring away from going to the finals.

Htown, I gotta just thank you guys again for giving us Lou and Harrell, they have both been so outstanding for us on such great contracts, it's been incredible............and to think Harrell is still just 24 years old. We could have him locked up and performing at a high level for us for the next decade. Lou's gonna win another sixth man of the year too on one of the best value contracts in the entire league while we have a shot at the 5 seed in the playoffs and two max cap slots in the off-season. Isn't it crazy to realize at such a late point in the season that we only have 3 more losses than your team, even after trading away our best player?? Thanks again! Hey you are welcome! Had to give up something to get something....if you were able to go back and look at my original posts on the trade I know I said that I really hated giving up Harrell as part of the deal. I love his activity and hustle....Kudos to Lou for winning another 6th man of the year but guess what happens now? The playoffs.....you probably need to go back and check his playoff history before giving thanks. Lou is going to be suspect in the playoffs.... Kudos to being only 3 games back as well but like I said a quick exit in the playoffs is going to leave a bad taste in the mouth. You guys will need a true star to be competitive...I like your pieces and the heart you have played with but reality in the playoffs.... Playoffs for our team is gonna leave a bad taste? Nawww. Did you see what the vegas over/under was for our team in wins before the season started? This is all gravy from here on out baby. We are sittin pretty, and Lou/Harrell/Bev have been outstanding pieces for us, the future is bright. We have zero expectations, if we lose every game by 40 pts, who cares, we weren't even supposed to be there at all. The fact that we could finish as the 5 seed is just incredible. What would leave a bad taste for me though is if my team was built around players who are in their prime right now or starting the downside of their career, but another season is wasted because of the Warriors dominance, that would leave a bad taste. |

Houston let a championship get away last year. All those missed threes in game seven. Even without CP3 they should have won and the Cavs were very beatable in the finals. CP3 must still be pissed off about that series. If I were a Rockets fan I would be pissed about giving CP3 a max contract. Well past his prime and often injured max players usually prevent you from winning in the playoffs. He checked out two of the last three playoffs he was in with season ending injuries. Let's see what happens this year.

Well be careful on what you ask for if you guys get us in the 1st round....it will be a quick exit for sure and then the excuse will be...hey you were supposed to win...so its lose lose for us anyway...Faried and Rivers didn't play at all last nigh and we still be the Spurs with Harden yet going into beast mode....if he doesnt win the MVP for yet a second year in a row...he already been robbed of at least 2 mvps

The Clippers are a bad match up for the Rockets... Clips play hard and physical for 48 mins.... 48 mins....

You guys can't physical us...Capella does get abused by bigger centers but with Deandre gone you guys have no one to do that us against him. Our pick up of Faried and House Jr. will definitely help us in that department....While I give you guys credit with playing well as a team and with heart you need superstars to win in the playoffs and you have none. The good thing is like you have said you guys really have nothing to lose and can play balls out because no one expected you to get to playoffs...personally I would have wanted a higher pick but hey you made it...big accomplishment I hope we play you guys as well......I love to see how far playing hard for 48 minutes gets you playing a talented team with shooters and the reigning MVP who has been on a historical streak. |

Just take out Harden and we win this series. And Beverley will try and do just that. Not being dirty. Just trying to get in his face and stop him from shooting the whole game.

I love Beverley's heart and in your face attitude but he way too small for Harden....oh and btw Harden isn't CP3 or Durant or Westbrook...he has been very durable throughout his career. Quite a few better than Beverley have tried....Leonard has probably given Harden those most trouble in the playoffs as well as the team concept with the Warriors |

I think we'd lose to the Rockets. Rockets are good. Better than Clippers. I am just happy we made the playoffs. And if we can make more than the 8th seed its practically a miracle, given the team we have.

Sam hates Austin Rivers with the fury of a 1000 white hot suns, and thinks Chris Paul is the anti-christ. Facts will not dissuade his faith. I dont hate Chris Paul Even the facts say Austin Rivers sucks, which is why 60% of the board wanted him out of the league I am with Sam. I judge players by the quality of their play relative to the salary and minutes played. CP is a #2 on a good team worth about a $50 million 2 year contract, definitely not worth a 5 year max. Austin is a journeyman who should be playing on minimum contracts, definitely not worth the 3 year/$36 million contract he signed with us and not worth 2,000 minutes played per season. It will be interesting to see what is Austin's real market value this summer without his dad handing him a contract. In other news, #13 UC-Irvine beat #4 Kansas State yesterday. Watch out for Doc pushing to draft Spencer Rivers in the second round. At the very least, he will get an internship with the Clippers. |
