You are late to the party. They've been in my top 4 NBA teams for a while. With OKC slippin' and trippin', Clippers might be the favorite from the West right now. But there are still nearly 20 games left in the regular season. Heat, Thunder and Pacers have plenty of time to figure things out.
Griffin is a stud and the Clippers when fully healthy are scary. Paul/Collison Redick/Crawford Barnes/Granger Griffin DeAndre It's crazy they haven't been healthy yet, they lost CP3 but didn't even lose a beat. They have the easiest remaining schedule. They have a championship coach. No doubt they look good.
I don't know about the others, but pretty such they will have a tough one on the last Saturday of this March.
We never need a thread on this because we always took the clippers seriously. Teams such as Blazers,Suns, and Raptors and even the Bobcats need threads like this because we all thought they would be lotto teams or in the Blazers case miss the playoffs
Probably, unless they run into the Spurs or the Grizzlies. Those two teams have weapons that could neutralize Jordan and Griffin in a 7 game series. Pacers would also match up well against them if they make it to the finals.
Sometimes, I cannot tell if you are serious or sarcastic. I'll play along: they are good; very good. However, I consider Dwight/Asik/Beverley lineup on Paul/Griffin arguably the most favorable defensive matchup in the league. When people state that the Clippers are a bad matchup, I think it is just because the Clippers might just be the better team, when it is all said and done, not because of an "unfavorable" matchup. I say "arguably" because I have not researched every team and watched the tape; would be interested to hear other matchups though.
Clipps will beat Grizzlies but it would take a lot out of them. Don't think they can beat the Spurs or Heat.
It's time for the Rockets to start taking them seriously and stop getting owned by them. They're good but they ain't good enough they should walk all over us every. damn. time.
tucker just mauled griffin. what is griffin supposed to do to shake his weak guy image? kill someone? starting to get under my skin. the only way teams can contain griffin is to physically punch him in the face, and because griffin doesn't want to get ejected, he has a weak guy image. bs
Lol since when have we not taken them seriously? In fact, whats our record against them the past few seasons?
Its just something about the Clippers I don't trust. Their two superstars Blake and CP3 are great regular season players but are not as proven in the playoffs. Its always a first time for everything and I wouldn't be surprised if they were to make a run. I don't see them as a clear favorite though.
Wtf? Cp3 has played well in the playoffs. Griffin has barely played at all and was injured both years.
Please. Griffin tackled Tucker. He always does **** like that and people get caught retaliating against him when they lose their cool. He has a weak guy image because he does punk stuff like that, mostly when fighting for rebounds.
CP3 has never been out of the second round. Doc Rivers came in telling CP3 he hadn't really accomplished much beyond the regular season...
