    I didnt care for the Clippers before tonight.

    But after the Clippers announcers straight up hating on Harden all game, I want them in the playoffs and I want Harden to obliterate them.

    That was disrespectful and unprofessional.

    Explain the "I dont like how he plays.." lulz...

    Make some logical improvements instead of "Wahhh...wahhhh...I dont like him...wahhhh dont like him..."

    Go to bed Clippers announcer. Take your L and get some rest you salty mofos.

    Hell Yeah! I do very much like the tasty prospect of taking on Clippers and whooping their sorry asses in the first round.

    Maybe, if Patrick Beverley doesn’t try to take out CP3...

    I’ve always wanted to meet them because I felt they were the easiest matchup.

    They lack a true star to carry them in a seven game series I feel.

    Their greatest scoring threat is Lou because if he gets hot, he cant miss anything and starts hitting ridiculous shots.

    Hard to see him stay in that kind of shooting form for an entire series though.

    But like Space said, I am more worried about Pat injuring one of our players with the way he plays.

    They have bruising bodies ready to throw at us kamikaze style.

    It isn't smart to play them in the first round just for us to let loose some steam.

    Again, health is crucial to our ability to win. You take any one of Capela, CP or Harden out of the lineup, we have no shot at beating GSW.

    I'm disappointed we have to play Clippers because I want to play against Lebron, add to Harden's legacy. Clippers would want to avoid the Rockets because Austin Rivers has some sort of power against the higher up in the Clippers. Beverley can't touch him. The only team that should avoid us is the Warriors, we are going to end their dynasty and they will disband faster than the incredi-Bulls (Jordan, Rodman, Pip).

    I think OKC is adding more, than beating bunch of streaky teenagers and grandpa LeBron.

    The last option of the poll took the words right out of my mouth. I'd be worried about CP going up against Bev

    If the Rockets play like they did last night, I don't care who we meet in the playoffs.

    Clippers worry me because there’s too many emotions and narratives involved. It just takes Bev pushing Harden or CP3 to the point where there’s suspensions and all of a sudden there’s a real matchup here.

    On paper, we have the talent and system to win.

    I'll gladly take the Clippers or Jazz over the Thunder or Spurs. And between Utah and LA, give me LA. The Jazz have Gobert who can shut down the paint and a legit superstar in Mitchell. The Clippers have neither.

    Yes please with a cherry on top. They have no one that can guard Capela or Harden.

    I didn't think about that. He can't stop Chris at all, unless he plays dirty. Ditto for Harden. I guess it might be better to avoid them for that reason alone.
