James Harden blocks Chris Paul, Rockets domination continues (Video)

The Los Angeles Clippers can’t do anything right after their Game 6 meltdown, and Game 7 isn’t off to a splendid start with James Harden blocking everyone.
After a big win in Game 5, the Los Angeles Clippers looked poised to close out the Houston Rockets and prepare for the jump shooting nightmare known as the Golden State Warriors. But rather than win on Thursday night, the Clippers lost a game they had already wrapped up, and are struggling to save their season in Game 7.
The Clippers struggles was summed up in one possession, where they failed to get points down low so they kicked it out to the perimeter where they were met with more failure.
James Harden isn’t known as a top defender in the league, in case you didn’t know, and this is just embarrassing for the Clippers. Los Angeles melted down in the worst of ways in Game 6, barfing up their best chance to win and close out the Rockets.
It’s clear that having two series got a full seven games has set the Clippers back, and that’s apparent in their sluggish start to the biggest game of their season.
