    If we could trade MDA to the Clippers, they would not be better than us!

    Their bench is far better, that's for damn sure.

    Clippers are the team to beat...Lebron, Harden, Gianaas, and the rest of the league have their work cut out

    One team has Patrick Patterson. The other one does not.

    It shows.

    I wanna play em before I make that judgement. Also I think we’ll be much better come December/January. We haven’t fully gotten into the way we wanna play yet

    I think they can be beat in the post, I feel that's one weakness you can exploit.

    I think the Jazz, Nuggets, and few others matchup better with them than GS and the Lakers.

    This is all I want. Clippers look good, but I cannot gauge anything until Rockets lace up against them. But Clippers look very good, the lack of ball handlers I thought would be there Achilles heal. not so much. Kawhi can pass and PPat can shoot.. oh boy.

    Rockets will be able to lob them to death I have no doubt.

    Yes, yes they are. Primarily because of the system they play....and they don’t have someone as inconsistent as Gordon

    The fans and team owner in Oklahoma City, a.k.a. North Dallas, do not deserve Patrick Patterson.

    If we got the Manimal back that would eliminate some of the advantage off the bench

    Noone wins titles on paper.

    Yeah if only we could draft someone like Harrell, Pat Bev and PPat. Or trade for someone like Lou Williams. Lol

    The Clippers coaching staff is far better than the Rockets with (Doc, Tyrone Lue, and Sam Cassell). All successful championship coaches and players. We have who??? Mike run it back again! We have to adjust and that is our biggest problem..
