Blake has probably been the best player in the playoffs so far. He was awesome for the duration of the Spurs series, even when people here were saying he was costing them games.

 

[msdstc]

Rockets are who we thought they were.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Rockets are who we thought they were.

Really? I thought they were among the favorites to get to the Finals.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Still a lot of time

 

[greatestjediever]

Clips starting to slack a bit. Not playing with the same intensity as the first half. Blake seems a little gassed. Can't blame him.

not around here.

Honestly, I would have picked the Warriors, Spurs, Clippers, and Grizzlies to have a better shot than them before the playoffs started. But they're not out of the series by any means or anything.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol 4 fouls everywhere

Yeah I noticed that during the Spurs series. Doc is riding him hard, and they're not easy minutes. He's having to bang with bigs, he's rebounding like a madman, and if you watch him he even has a ton of ball handling responsibilities. He's been incredible, but you can see him wearing down towards the end of games.

 

[NomarTyme]

Blatant goaltending.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Why did TJones bit on a deandre jordan pump fake 19 ft away from the basket

 

[BadAss2961]

How dumb do you have to be to fall for a DeAndre Jordan pump fake beyond the free throw line?

 

[Kacar]

Terrence Jones just bit on a Deandre jumper pump fake.

Benching for life.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Holy shit Rockets are doomed. Jordan 4-4 FTs

Spoiler

and did I just see Smurfs? lol

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I think Jones was actually trying to block the passing lane

 

[thehypocrite]

Is Hou still playing fuckball?

 

[UnObtainium17]

Shit here we go again

 

[Hyperactivity]

These fouls...

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Crawford the gawd.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Crawford damn

 

[TheSadRanger]

Holy shit Rockets are doomed. Jordan 4-4 FTs

Spoiler

and did I just see Smurfs? lol

I saw that earlier lol, it looked like some usher was escorting them out to or something.

 

[Askherserenity]

How can the Rockets not give a fuck so hard? Jesus.

 

[Uno Venova]

Time for some free throws.

 

[perfectchaos007]

FTHarden getting warmed up

 

[reggieandTFE]

Harden started flopping before he was within 5 feet of Turkoglu on that last posession. There's been a couple of terrible missed goaltends as well.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

FUCKING JASON TERRY!!!! THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Doc is a walking gif machine

 

[blackaroni]

Lmao

 

[UnObtainium17]

Nothing says Time to retire better than getting beat by 37 yo jason terry in a jumpball.

Now rox stepping up.. finally. I just want to see another nail biter.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

:jnc at the combined age of that Jumpball

 

[dream]

Fucking Hedo does nothing well.

 

[Kacar]

Not even sure about CP3 for Friday. He is hobbling up off the bench everytime.

 

[greatestjediever]

Now we got a good game. Let's see if the Clips can hold on with Blake likely going to the bench for the first 4 minutes or so.

 

[Chezzymann]

The first amount of energy I've seen from the rockets in the whole series. If they want to win this game they're going to have to go all out. Which is not saying much because the clippers are playing without Chris Paul.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yep, good game at least

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Not even sure about CP3 for Friday. He is hobbling up off the bench everytime.

Faking it? Mind games?

Nah, but seriously, hamstrings are tricky. They cripple you for a few days or a few weeks.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

There's post-prime and then there's Turkoglu

 

[UnObtainium17]

Lol brewer destroyed their oqn shot clock

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Doc always losing his voice.

It's ok he don't need it for more great gifs.

 

[Starphoenix]

C'mon Clips, don't lose focus.

 

[LQX]

Welp...

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Clips messing with the shot clock again...

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol why they need so many cords for one god damn clock?

 

[blackaroni]

Fuckery.

 

[Rainy]

Well this should give Blake a good rest.

 

[brianjones]

lol at this bootleg shot clock

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol yes we get shot clock guy counting down!

 

[grandjedi6]

This is hilarious. And Crawford's solution is even more hilarious.

 

[UnObtainium17]

You bet your ass big baby gonna body slam that rockets side shot clock.

 

[greatestjediever]

Interesting, Doc planning to run Blake into the ground? Three quick fouls is bad. Rockets gonna be in the bonus real soon.
