    Blowing out the unbeatable OKC Thunder right now. It's the Curse of V. Stiviano. The championship trophy presentation is gonna get awkward.

    Blazers seem more like the team of destiny.

    Clippers are coming out of the West. Only thing that can derail them is injuries.

    Warriors just took them to 7 games without their center.

    OKC will win this series. One hot shooting game is just that: one hot shooting game.

    Have you seen the Warrior's spacing? They can go toe to toe with any team on any night and they can lose to any team on any night. Live and die by the 3. plus Clipper has that Sterling ordeal to deal with. OKC is like us, iso Durant and iso Westbrook. But we at least have an inside out game. Clipper offense is being run by such a smooth pg and my wishlist coach Rivers.

    Clippers are an amazing team, they played 13 players deep, 26 assists with no one shooting the ball more than 14fga....meanwhile Rockets go 8 players deep, averaged like 16 assists, and over 3 people have more than 15fga.
    No ball movement, no teamwork, tired team, horrific coaching job. The Rockets couldnt even beat Clips or OKC once so they arent even on the same league.

    One game overreactions are ridiculous unless one team is clearly better than another. Clippers aren't clearly better than OKC. They had a HOT shooting game.

    CP3 had the best offensive game of his CAREER. Not just this year, CAREER. There's only one other game in the HISTORY of the NBA where a guy scored 30+ points, 10+ assists, on 75% shooting. Let that sink in for a moment.

    Now if CP3 does it a few more times, ok, then OKC is screwed.

    Best PG and best PF.

    Pretty good Center.

    Skinny enforcer in Barnes.

    A white guy.

    A couple of fat guys.

    Really all-around balanced team. What else do you need?

    lol premature ejac.

    If the clipps face the spurs, no way in hell they can beat them. The clipps beating the thunder just ensures the path for the spurs to the finals.

    The Thunder can beat them, but I felt like the Clippers were the best team in the NBA 6 weeks ago - without Redick. The Spurs can also beat them, but that's more of a case of paper, rock, scissors than them being flat out better IMO.

    The Clippers are the only team that can beat the Heat.

    The Clippers chances of getting to the finals rest on the Blazers beating the Spurs. The Spurs absolutely own the Clippers and CP3.

    Clippers will beat the Thunder and the Spurs. Count on it. That is if the Spurs can even beat the Blazers. Barely even beat the Mavs....

    Clips has got all the positions filled

    Jordan, Griffin, CP3, Barnes, Crawford, JJ REDDICK (!!), Darren Collison, Hedo Turkeyglue, etc....

    You're either a star or a top notch role player.
