    I think Blake needs to be the focal point of the offense and team if they want to make the next step. They showed signs of that last season, but Chris Paul needs to take a step back. As talented as he is, teams led by him are not overly successful

    In twitter, Part of the page is translated automatically, to the language of the country you are posting for.

    The tweet remains the same ;)

    Blake has to raise his game up to top 5 superstar level for that to happen. I don't know if he can stay in that gear an entire season.

    Their gaping hole at SF is also a big problem and will continue to haunt them.

    Clippers are in a tough spot. They are stuck at being very good, but not good enough to make the Finals.

    To the guy who said they rely on Crawford too much: When opposing defense ratchet up in 4th quarters, he takes over because nobody else will (or can).

    What?? The Rockets look like one of the tightest groups in the NBA. Just watch the bench when we make a big play. What on Earth are you even talking about??

    Doc Rivers coached in Boston and Simmons was after him all the time. I like Simmons but I think Doc had sex with his wife.

    You quoted the wrong source. Simmons never said they don't like each other, it was David Aldridge quoting the opinion of "someone who knows the situation well" and RealGM regurgitated that quote.

    http://www.nba.com/2014/news/featur...icking-up-qa-giannis-antetokounmpo/index.html


    10) L.A. Clippers (1-3) [9]: Is it personnel, or is it personal? Here's the unvarnished opinion of someone who knows that team well: "They don't like each other." FWIW.

    And note that Aldridge says OPINION-- the person he quoted wasn't claiming to have any inside information, could very well just be a local media member or a long time fan having this impression while watching games.

    Isn't this the second time this has come up this season? I remember D3 saying the exact same thing on NBATV when they were growing those silly mustaches.

    :confused:

    david_aldridge wrote that a day after simmons posted the tweet.

    simmons even added another tweet 4 minutes after he posted the first one.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="he"><p>...And I'm not sure how you fix that. The Clips seems bored/detached, like they are the defending champs or something. They've done nothing.</p>&mdash; Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/548978571570446336">דצמבר 27, 2014</a></blockquote>

    They don't like each other?

    Think they would trade us Blake Griffin for Josh Smith?

    Always been whispers chris paul dominates the ball too much, definitely not as effective as prime stockton.

    I'm guessing this has something to do with Spencer "I whip my butt with Obama TP" Hawes.
