I gotta say I would love to see the Clippers go down. That team is full of players that are punks.

Well at the least its gonna be 3-4. And even with a sweep we'd at least have 4 more games of watching our team play than our first round opponent.
Don't you think losing 1-4 in the first round is better than not having made the playoffs at all?

Time to eat crow. Crazy game. They fought back and took advantage. Although most rational fans can put to rest Harden's "MVP" season.

You're absolutely right, at least in my opinion. Give me the extra playoff games, even if there's no title at the end.
That being said, why in the world are you here?

A peaceful and well-meaning troll is still a troll. These people won't ever post here again once Houston is eliminated.

I was wondering the same thing... Shouldn't they be trolling Clippers boards? Continuing to post on a forum of a team that you've already defeated in the playoffs totally reeks of insecurity. C'mon, Houston fans of the internet generation -- act like you've been there!

How does it reek of insecurity? This thread was dead for what 17 days and for some reason it was brought back to life(bumped) just to dump on the Houston Rockets after their initial shortcomings in the Clipper series. Its easy to dump when someone else is doing the job for you. In my opinion that reeks of insecurity and being a sore loser. Pretty sure if the talk about Houston stops then this thread will die?
And you were right everyone did get to see what type of team Houston is win or lose Sunday. They didn't just get destroyed by a "real" team, they aren't an average playoff foe. You were right about it being more a challenge in the second round than the 1st round as it should have been since the team was much better. Yup we are struggling but so are the Clippers....

Rockets are a really good, damn near great team. I'm so happy to see my man Jet still contributing at his advanced age, love that guy. I hope they take the Clippers out tomorrow.

That bothers you? It's good to stay classy versus having a gun to the horse's head tweet no?

No it doesn't bother me. I was just surprised that he used the w word about himself. It must have been Fonzie like while typing it.

Cuban has admitted he was wrong about a lot of things...most recently saying he should have kept Chandler after 2011.
But yeah, I suppose saying it to Morey does sting a bit. They still have little shot at beating GS, but perhaps the momentum of the Clippers series will help.

DLord with an interesting tidbit.
Doc Rivers is the only coach in NBA history to lose not one, but two playoff series after being up 3-1.

The Houston-LA game ended around 5pm CT, putting the Rockets into the conference finals for the first time in 18 years. Instead of celebrating with friends, family, or fellow Rockets fans, you are here posting on a Dallas Mavericks message board less than 30 minutes later.
Time for you to re-evaluate some things.

Gonna be a brutal summer of DeAndre + LaMarcus rumors, which will almost certainly end with the Mavs getting neither.

TBH I don't really want either of them at the price they're going to cost... but it is going to be all we hear this summer.

Remember Spree at cost adjusted for inflation 20million is the new 15. Or something like that.

Yes, most likely. Used for negotiating leverage/ego gratification once again. Wouldn't shock me though if DeAndre wants away from L.A. And closer to home

Classy would have been Cuban not saying anything negative in the first place so he wouldn't have to apologize for being wrong. He is the owner he is supposed to have more respect than that.... great to see him admit he was wrong as were many others..

That's if you sign them to that dollar amount and not a true max contract (which we can pretty safely assume both guys will get). If they sign real max contracts, the dollar amount increases as the cap increases.
And even if one of those guys does sign here at $20M, that means that we get LMA/DAJ and probably lose every one of Ellis, Tyson, Aminu, and Amar'e.

Riiight...nice to see you gloss over what your team did...which was as classless as it gets.

I cannot wait until the Warriors destroy the Rockets so all these Rockets fans can scurry back to being passive/aggressive on ClutchFans. Rockets were swept by GS during the regular season. Four double digit losses, at least two complete blowouts.

It's sports, dude. He was just talking trash, to give writers something to write about. It's pretty obvious those two like each other.

In other words, no Houston fans allowed under any circumstances, or, for that matter, any non-partisan poster, even if they can provide information or add to the debate.

Was going to check out on the playoffs. But now I'll watch. Don't mind to see the warriors represent the west this year. Especially to see houston lose.

Yes, posts such as the following are "providing excellent information" and "adding to the debate":

Strange use of "in other words." Green! In other words, purple!
