they were good when they had Cassell, Mobley and Brand. they choked away a win vs Phoenix in the 2nd round, but they weren't afraid of anyone.
And exactly how many times have the Clippers made the playoffs since that ONE season 5 years ago? Anyway, I never said the Clips wouldn't make the playoffs. I said they won't put together a contender.
The Clippers need to be snatched from DTS and sold to another owner. There is no reason for them not to have good teams and coaches on a regular basis. As soon as someone else owns the team, watch them take off. I'm gonna guess LA is the #1 or #2 most favored destination for NBA free agents. But the organization is so sorry from top to bottom they cannot capitalize on it. Whenever it does happen, the new owner will make a boatload of money because the value of the franchise will skyrocket. No way they will move from LA. If this happens in the next 3-4 years (or sooner), I'll join the "Clippers have a bright future" bandwagon and ride in the front.
