    clippers.. in a 7 game series, our depth wins and calls won't be obviously lopsided

    You guys are nuts wanting to play the Lakers. The Clippers are ripe for the taking. They're young, high strung, and thin. Very beatable. We cannot beat the Lakers or the Spurs.

    Home court advantage is big. Home court advantage against Lakers is a winnable series, especially if Kobe isn't 100% and we continue to get under Bynum's skin.

    However, in terms of pure matchups (not factoring home/road into the equation at all), OKC is slightly better for us.

    Clearly you are delusional. The Clippers may be the one team we will simply not be allowed to beat (for basketball reasons). The calls would be so lopsided, the series would be unwatchable.

    Agreed. On paper the Clippers sound good. In reality, the refs will screw us. Period.
