Free NBA Playoff Pick

Well, it all comes down to this Game 7 in Houston with the winner set to meet the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals. The Clippers had their chance in Game 6, as they had a double-digit lead after the 3rd quarter, but were outscored 40-15 in the 4th quarter to lose by 12 points. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were solid in Game 6 combining for 51 points, but did not get much help from the supporting cast. Dwight Howard has been great in the last 2 games going for a combined 40 points and 36 rebounds.

I think the Clippers had their chance at home with a big lead, but blew it big time. They will not come back from that and the Rockets will not only cover the 1.5-point spread as the underdog, but win as well finishing out this series on their floor.
