    Nah, they can't afford to go back to the pathetic, irrelevant squad that they used to be.

    50+ wins and 1st/2nd round exits>>>>what they used to be

    this is sadly still their best stretch in franchise history

    Kinda scary, considering everyone but McGee is going to be able to hoist 3s, during the GSW series.

    Foul trouble.

    lol last year cp3 broke his hand and blake got injured in that same game. that's why they lost to the blazers. and blake gets injured again this year after going up 2-1. they are indeed chokers but have a string of bad luck. i wouldn't break up the clippers; they don't have a chance to win anything but at least they're way more successful than the joke they used to be with those olawakandi teams (sp?). tbh, the best thing about the Clips is that they have the ability to knock out the Spurs in the playoffs since it's a great matchup for them
    foul trouble. gobert is great in pick and roll defense lol

    Steve Ballmer just lost $1billion in value. Paul and Griffin are gone. Good luck building around hack-a-DeAndre!

    Rockets stole the Clippers' soul.

    And thus we see the end of a very mediocre Clippers team.

    Well, that sucked. Now there's basically zero chance Gordon Hayward leaves Utah. They got healthy at the right time and I can see them giving the Warriors a decent series.

    Do we want anyone from the Clippers? CP3 is great but he doesn't fit well with Harden. Blake Griffin would be the best PF we've had in a long time but he's consistently unreliable to stay healthy when it counts. J.J. Redick looked washed up and we have positions of higher need (PF, SF) than SG

    Unfortunately I'm not high on too many Clippers. I would take JJ Reddick on this D'Antoni team in a second --- if we didn't already have Harden, Gordon, Williams and Beverley. Too bad he isn't a bit taller; would be an epic bench SF.

    I'd take Reddick on discount for the bench. Rockets should keep trying to surround Harden with shooters.

    Actually Redick as SF might still be better than #PlayoffAriza. If Morey signs him, it's probably because we're trading Gordon or Lou in a package to get a star.

    CP3 is still a fine PG, despite his flopping, but he is slowly losing his athleticism. The Clippers are on the verge of imploding.

    Clippers Playoff choke... like a clockwork.

    Still don't see Paul and Griffin leave. Redick on the other hand turns 33 in June. Might wanna sign cheap with a team that actually gets things done.
