Quick note, since most media will probably just show "Season series 2-2" and act like it's dead even..
The Clips won twice, once by 15 and once by 17. The two Rocket wins? By 2 and by 5, also one of the Rocket wins was without Griffin. Granted Howard didn't play either in that game but Bevelrey and Motiejunas are out now.
Also last year, with similar teams, the Clippers win the season series 3-1.
From what I've seen when I've watched these 2 play, it's usually a pretty good back and forth game through 3 quarters but Paul just controls the pace so well and the last 8-9 minutes with both team's starters in, Clippers manage to pull away

So now we going into this game control shyt they was spewing in the College Football Playoff chase? More than likely these games are gonna be close so the Rockets winning by 2 and 5 gives me even more confidence that they can grind it out vs the Clippers by executing down the stretch and getting big stops.

I remember the last game they played in the regular season when CP3 had a shot to either win it or tie it and he shot an air ball being guarded by Ariza. That's what you can most likely expect in the playoffs tough games that come down to the final 2 minutes or. Rockets have played in these type of games all year long.

Controlling the pace is imperative. Anyone whose played basketball will tell you that.. That's what I meant

Kind of hate both teams but got to admit both have impressed me, even their respective flopping leaders. Should be a good series, prob in 7, can't call it.

Harden got fans in both spots heavy. It will be like playing in his home gym in both arenas! I expect him to dominate.
