    They literally just highlighted what I was about to say about the Suns. They don't even have a "star" on their team. Just a bunch of good players who hustle and play hard. Hard not to respect that, given the landscape of (most of the) rest of the league.

    Yeah, they are fun to watch. Will be interesting to see what happens when Bledsoe demands to be paid like a star this offseason though.

    The biggest guys on the floor for the Clippers right now are Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. That's a new definition of small ball.

    Clippers beat the Rockets early on when the Dwasik experiment was still going on.

    So, what's wrong with the Clippers? Is Chris Paul soft? Is Matt Barnes not enough of a "JYD"? Is Doc Rivers a stupid coach who should be fired?

    The NBA is a game of matchups. It matters in the playoffs and only in the playoffs.

    Losing Bledsoe off the bench hurt. Jared Dudley has been pathetic. Redick has missed a bunch of games. 21-12 isn't bad at all. Give Doc more time. They will be a very tough playoff team.

    CP3 has grown up and isn't soft like he used to be. He still whines & flops too much and that might influence his teammates in a negative way like it did in New Orleans.

    They aren't about to win a championship this year but I still believe they have a chance to win the West. Not likely but within striking distance.

    Sometimes I wonder if Doc and CP3 are on the same page yet. Doc is a "shut up and play" guy and that just isn't in CP3's nature. He can't help himself. If Doc wins this battle of wills and the entire team takes that mentality, the Clippers will be even more dangerous.

    Yeah. I posted that, remembered we let him walk because of that stupid player option but there's no edit feature on this forum for some bizarre reason.

    Wait, what?

    I feel like Doc and CP3 are very similar in that they are hard nosed but hardly ever "shut up." In fact I am surprised with how much they gripe to the refs that they don't get T'ed up more often.
