Blake is absolutely right. Austin has been a trainwreck for most of his career thus far, but when he's playing with confidence he's a different player. Catquck first step, and a lethal crossover. Literally it's extremely hard to keep him out of the paint.

oh and awwsome my man, but he said Houston was winning this in five

Pau getting an MRI on the hamstring tomorrow. if he's out does this help or hurt the Bulls?

Probably helps them. Bulls D just seems a lot better when they're small, at least in this series.

Yea he implied that the rockets didnt have trouble with the mavs because they won in 5 but the mavs had no parsons or rondo and were still in every game when they shouldnt have been. Rockets should have blew them apart

Doc rivers should hack a dwight or smith when they are up by double digits.

It seemed like the refs were letting the rockets manhandle blake griffin with no foul calls.

Refs know what they doing. Its like they tip players off to let them know when they can go hard for the ball

But ofcourse its not mentioned unless it benefits a certain purple and gold team.

And the Rockets couldn't buy a whistle in the 1st half. I think it evened out in the end.

I'm upset no one brought up OJ Mayo

OJ was crazy hyped but his hoopmixtape career wasnt really there

Man, who the hell does Wall think he is, CP3?

Seeing how he finished Game 1 with the crazy statline of 18 pts, 13 ast, 7 boards and 3 blocks all while sustaining a broken hand/wrist that alone is CP3-esque

Only difference was the CP3 gamewinner and it being a game 7 which made it epic

Man Barkley said the Clips had no shot to win this series. Even though I think we will win this series, the fact that he said we have no shot to win this series is flat out incredible and laughable.

Blake probably was getting "manhandled" a bit, but he seeks and gives contact offensively so it comes with the territory for him. Also, I don't agree with that hacking strategy at all. We got a lead tonight by locking up, don't give them a chance to get some easy points, while making us have to play 5v5 on the other end. You do the things that got you the lead.

didn't watch the 2nd half but saw Austin had an outer body experience....good for him

barkley doesn't watch basketball, he's critique of the clippers this year was based on the team from 2 year ago.

Picture watching Inside the NBA without him on the regular, you like that vision?

I can't say I do.

One adjustment McHale has to make: Take ariza off of CP and go with more natural lineups.

He's starting off with Ariza on CP which is silly, especially considering that 1) It's the beginning of the game and CP hasn't even gotten off yet and 2) He's not even 100%.

Why put your best defender on that? CP is playing pick and roll ball with Ariza anyway. I've said all season JJ Redick has been our x factor and maybeeee you get away with it with Austin starting at point but with CP starting at point, you're basically submitting yourself and your team to one of the best 1st quarter scorers in the league by having Terry trying to chase Redick.

Looking over numbers from CHI-CLE series. LeBron shooting 19% from 10 ft or further. Just 24% when defenders give him 4 ft or more to shoot.
