    yes they can, their bench is probably the best in the league. cp3 is as good as you can get in a pg.

    Lamar Odom is sorry. It hurts watching Mo Williams explode in Utah. Clippers lost that trade.

    I don't know who taught Deandre Jordan how to work in the post, but he looks good even seasoned I might say. They should go to him more, looks like their best post presence.:grin:

    Shaq declared Jordan the best center in the west.

    with Chris paul and bledsoe running the point there is no way he is getting playing time for the clippers.

    85:74 vs. Heat at end of 3rd quarter. Clippers playing some great defense this season, think they have a legit chance this time.

    Clippers are scary.

    Paul leads their starters, but their bench is what makes them elite. Crawford and Bledsoe as a backcourt is crazy coming off the bench. I am really feeling the Clippers this season, and I didn't last season because they had no SG.

    If VDN (huge IF) can integrate Grant Hill and Chauncey into this rotation, I won't be surprised if they get out of the West. This team is STACKED.

    But they also must have Jordan and Griffin grow defensively. They're not going to jack up 3s and make them like they have to start the season, esp. Jamal Crawford.

    But they are easily the deepest team in the league.

    But its still WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too early to call these types of teams contenders/pretenders. Rotations change. Health changes. And teams overall change as the season progresses. Teams you see now won't be the same teams you see 4-5 months from now. A very few will get better. Most stagnate or worsen.

    Not to mention they still don't have Billups and Hill, both veterans who can contribute come playoff time. As long as they can make the pieces fit, I think they can give anyone problems.
