    Clippers are cursed. Rockets stole their heart and soul. Ever since that Game 6 Rockets comeback, Clippers have never been the same. Injury one after the other. Doc being mediocre. Time to blow it up. Doc is a mediocre coach and a horrible GM.

    The Clippers need to invite the Pope over and see if he can remove their curse.

    I think the Warriors now have a chance to get past the second round

    He should go to the Suns, who are the sanctuary for chronically injured players.

    Chr-st almighty. The Warriors are the biggest asterisk champion I've ever seen. No Nurkic in the first round. No Griffin(or maybe Gobert) in the second round. Can't wait to see who their WCF opponent loses to injury.

    The sad thing is this may buy Doc and this core another year if no one defects in free agency. Especially if they hold on and beat Utah. Would their crybaby owner really break up this group if they lose in the second round to the Warriors?

    That's exactly what they are. They'll probably look back at that Game 6 collapse as what could've been but there's no way they were taking out the Warriors that year anyway. I think they're lineup was like 6 deep that year. Pop the coach and Pop the GM has been average and the Clippers have been just that. Middling Western playoff team.

    Let's not pretend like the Warriors haven't won 10 straight games over the Clippers. :rolleyes:

    Take your pick: DJ/CP3/BG/Doc is on the clock

    The Clippers are cursed as a organization. I seriously think this


    With that said, i believe Paul George or Blake will be in Houston next year

    I don't know, but the Clippers are starting to look snake bit. We're a bit familiar with that bite ourselves.

    Neither was Gordon or Anderson.

    You offer Griffin whatever it takes.

    They'd won a bunch in a row against the Rockets heading into the 2015 WCF, yet we were still up 16 in the first half in Game 1 and might've won that one(and Game 2) had Dwight not sustained a knee injury in the first quarter(not to mention being without Bev and D-Mo already).
