I thought it was terrible because Harden pushed off at least as much as Paul did a few minutes earlier. No call for Harden though.
Harden and Bogut are probably my two least favorite players foul-wise. Just the bull#### they get away with is absolutely ridiculous.

Least surprising Clippers outcome this season. They're a damn good team but until they quit #####ing about, well, everything, they just won't win it all. They need to tighten up mentally or this will play out year after year.

It's been a POE for over 10 years now. ANY contact on the elbow during a shot gets you rung up.

Paul deserves better than this. Such a great player.

One of the top choke jobs of the 21st century? I think so. They were up 3 games to 1, and in game 6 they had a 19 point lead at home late in the 3rd. It's up there with the 86 Red Sox, Greg Norman.

Harden is bad, too, but something about Paul just makes it more irksome.
Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

Golden State in 5
Hawks in 7
My brain says Cleveland in 6, but I don't like them so.

Can the Clippers even afford some better bench guys? I have no idea how their cap looks or who they have to resign.

You knew you were going to catch hell for the hater comments after each Clipper win, but seriously worst day of your life? Just being a Clipper fan means this doesn't crack the top 10.

Had the Clippers advanced, we would have had three teams in the semis that had never won an NBA title. Warriors are fun to watch, hoping they win it.

2nd highest payroll in the league this year and Jordan is a free agent.Can the Clippers even afford some better bench guys? I have no idea how their cap looks or who they have to resign.
I'm sure Ballmer will be fine with paying the luxury tax to keep Jordan, but they're not in great position to add help.

It's not all about the money. Three major contributors to the Rockets win today were added mid season.Some GM's are just better than others, Doc isn't one of those good GM's.2nd highest payroll in the league this year and Jordan is a free agent.Can the Clippers even afford some better bench guys? I have no idea how their cap looks or who they have to resign.Bench +/- today: Crawford -22, Rivers -17, Davis -10 (in 5 minutes), Hawes -3.

Is this a different Hawks franchise than the one from 58 or whenever?
P and s maybe we'll get the Cavs-Warriors series that should have happened in 76 if not for Jim Chones getting hurt and Rick Barry quitting on his team.

Not only that, but they beat the defending champs in the prior series and they had destroyed the Rockets in back-to-back games to get up 3-1. And the game 6 comeback was without Harden. An epic choke. The Clippers are a fun team to watch - I'm disappointed.

I am not a Chris Paul fan, but pinning this defeat on just him is really dumb. This has to fall on the coaching staff, too. They say a team is often a reflection of its coach, and given that the Clippers are a bunch of whiny complainers, one need only look at Doc Rivers to see where they get that from.

Bill Simmons has talked about this on a few occasions. Barry got into a fight during a game and not one single teammate came to his side. They just stood there with their hands on their hips.

Him not shooting may have been justified but that's still what cost them the game. Maybe if he wasn't a giant D they might have helped him.

In terms of conference finals teams I don't think they're really good. I don't think they're really bad either. I don't think they'll pose too much of a problem for the Warriors either way. I don't think anybody else left will either.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
I don't think they are, but I could be wrong. If they go at least 6 with the Warriors I will give them some credit. Right now it feels fake. They beat a very old Dallas team, that had their point guard go rogue on them and lost probably their most important player in Parsons, then they beat a Clipper team that has proven over the years to be mentally soft and it really looks like the Clippers lost that series. If the Rockets won a hard fought battle in game 6 against the Clippers and then took it home for game 7 and took care of business it would be one thing, but the Clippers gave away game 6, they were up 19 points at home.

They still won 59 games in the Western conference, which is pretty great right now.

The thing about the Rockets is that Brewer and Ariza are long defenders who can play against most positions. Both are effective outside shooters as well. That makes this team better than people think, IMO.

I've never really considered the Rockets all that great but somehow they keep winning. Still surprised they were the #2 seed.
Ghost Rider
Footballguy
I stand corrected, but my point still stands: you don't win that many games in the West without being really good.

Sounds realistic to me. Warriors swept the Rockets in the regular season and I don't think the Hawks are all that great.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
Sorry that came off as kind of no know it all. I think the Rockets get a bad rep because the we're 11 - 16 against the west playoff teams and 23 - 21 overall against playoff teams. So that means against the rest of the league they were 33 - 5.

The Warriors are a ridiculous -850 right now. That's Alabama football playing Kentucky territory. Be happy if the Rockets won a game.

Now imagine replacing Barry with Curry and you would have all of Oracle Arena after his assailant.

GS has had Houston's number in the regular season, I'm sure that pumps the number up some. And having Speights out maybe a game <<<<< Donuts/Beverly being out. Things have broken well so far for GS, that's for sure.
That Clips chokejob doesn't happen if Doc hadn't been such a complete disaster over the last two years. I'm a GS fan and this year's been great and I'm trying not to be like those new-money #######s like all of the Seahawks fans, but: #### the Clippers. #### their old owner, #### their new owner, #### their ticket-takers, #### their ####ty fans, #### Billy Crystal, #### Doc Rivers, #### Austin Rivers, #### Ms. Rivers, double-#### Matt Barnes, #### Chris Paul, and #### Blake Griffin.
Kinda wish GS had gotten to be the ones to do them in, but also just happy that they got done in.

Yeah I guess they actually won in St Louis in 1958. NBA history prior to 1980 sans the Celtics and Lakers is so unlike the other sports, I really like to think the history of the sport really started in the 70s.
Whatever, Hawks and Warriors have titles but they are from sooooooooo long ago and the Cavs have zero (although the LeBron angle plays heavy here so I actually think of them as the team with the most recent). Rockets were pretty great in the 90s and really have been one of the better franchises since the 80s, but they haven't done a lot lately. Warriors were so sweet in the late 80s with the Run TMC, but they died to me when they traded Mitch Richmond for Billy Owens.
I'll watch the finals this year though, unlike in the recent past where I can't say the plot was interesting.
