deja vu Milwaukee quits in Game 6 at home against Chicago Chicago quits in Game 6 at home against Cleveland Will Cleveland keep the chain going?
Harden sat out the entire 4th Clippers led 89-72 in the third Corey Brewer and Josh Smith with a monster run 33-10 Rockets run
These aren't Donald Sterling's Clippers; they just left fans hopeless. These Clippers actually disappoint.
What a crazy ending in this game... Wall holds the ball way too long, passes to Pierce, he gets the jumpaway 3 at the buzzer to save the series..only the ball was still at his finger tip when it hit 0.0 How heartbreaking for that fan base. That's just unreal. I don't care either way who wins, but I would have let that go personally. It was THAT close, that I wouldn't have overturned it. 5 teams remain. Go Hawks in the East. Go Warriors in the West.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...n-who-is-under-greater-pressure-to-win-game-7 How is that even a debate? Answer is obvious. No one really knows. http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fa...-james-harden-on-benching-i-was-a-cheerleader
They said on the radio last night that he was really, really sick. Also, I don't think it's obvious at all. I would say Chris Paul is under more pressure, but it's close.
Chris Paul has spent his entire career failing in the playoffs. It's not even close. He's one of the greatest PGs ever, but he's never gone deep in the playoffs. Harden made a WCF and an NBA Finals already and this is his sixth season. Harden is 25. Paul is 30. Not even close. Zero debate. Harden was suffering from flu-like symptoms the day of the game but he played 3 and then sat out the most important minutes, bizarre. http://houston.cbslocal.com/2015/05/16/josh-smith-hardens-benching-will-motivate-him/ McHale flat out benched him.
Harden: six seasons, six playoff series won, two conference finals, one NBA Finals Paul: ten seasons, three playoff series won, zero conference finals so the pressure really is not in the same stratosphere
The clippers are the better team; if they don't win this game you gotta blow it up, including Doc Rivers having to choose between being the coach or president.
yep, their window is closed when they got Paul, they had Paul's prime to make their run and they never made a WCF
announcers called it Paul fouls Howard on purpose after Jordan misses the FT (because it's a loose ball foul, not away from the play) good job JVG
