Are the Clips for real this year?

Enfuego · Dec 28, 2012

Going for what 16 straight?

I don't watch much NBA so don't really know but I never really trust them when I watch them.

I love Paul and think he's the best PG in the NBA. Despite his numbers, I can't stand B. Griffin and don't think he'll ever be a top-tier player. Love Jordan's potential and I really like J. Crawford.

Can they take down the OKC Thunder?

Crawford makes them deep, but Paul is this teams everything... I think he is proving that he may be the best PG, at least this season...

This team gets a lot of easy buckets inside. Theres a lot to like about them, but I really doubt they can get through that West... They are for real as a playoff team, but not a legitimate title contender in my opinion..

I agree defying. Great summary.

They are for real this year but they're not making it past the Spurs or Thunder sadly.

Spurs aren't too old?

If you can find it then I said it.

I personally think Griffin is horrible. No outside game whatsoever. Been in the league what 3 years now and made no improvement? He's good at dunking.

No he has improved, LAC isn't 23-6 just because of CP3 and a good bench. Blake is playing great...

He is not the next Tim Duncan but he is a perennial AS.

You must not watch enough basketball to know what horrible is. Look at the talent the wizards trot out, that is horrible. Blake is a very good player who lacks post-up skills. He gets you about 20 and 10 and has a low amount of turnovers, perfect for the offense with CP3

Clippers have some intangibles like chemistry and leadership.. The team is a close knit bunch who get along and joke with each other.. Lots of comradery

They are very deep as well. they have a legit 10 man roster now and consider the fact that Grant Hill and Billups are injured.. So when those two guys comeback they will legitimately have a 12 man roster where all 12 guys get some playing time. Starters are playing limited minutes, they will be fresh for playoffs.

Chris Paul is the best PG in the league and Jamal Crawford is a glue guy. I personally hope the Clippers play the Spurs in the playoffs, they will beat them. I'm more scared of the Griz. OKC will be tough to beat no doubt but I think the Clips would give them a 6-7 game series, no doubt..

The Clips are totally a top 3-4 team in the NBA.

I watch some but not a lot of NBA basketball but I know for certain there are 10-15 players at Griffin's position I'd take over him. He lacks post-up skills and his jump shot his horrendous. When he plays an equal or better player, his true talent shows up. Again, just my opinion.

Clippers team is deep. Strong players coming off the bench

*Western Conference
*Team GB*
*1. ***Oklahoma City --*
*2. ***LA Clippers --*
*3. ***San Antonio 0.5*
*4. *Golden State 3.0*
*5. *Memphis 4.0*
*6. *Houston 6.5*
*7. *Portland 8.0*
*8. *Denver 8.0*
*9. *Minnesota 8.5*
*10. *Utah 9.0*
*11. *LA Lakers 10.0*
*12. *Dallas 12.5*
*13. *Sacramento 12.5*
*14. *Phoenix 14.0*
*15. *New Orleans 18.0*

They are legit I think.

My biggest concern come playoff time would be free throw shooting.

seanjohn007 · Jan 5, 2013

im a huge laker fan and they are deff legit. they have the perfect mix of players. paul needs the ball in his hands to be affective and thats what they let him do. everyone else is good at what they do but need a playmaker to set them up, and they have the best in the league at doing that. then off the bench they have one of the best individual shot makers in the league with crawford, and a bunch of other guys that hustle like crazy and play defense. theyre one of the few teams that can consistantly grow a lead when the bench comes on. oh and billups is still out, who is a huge upgrade over willie green

Am I the only one that can't stand watching Griffin? Travels all over the place, holds the ball too much and just a horrible jump shot.

I see him as a liability on this team.

Totally agree

Totally agree

When I watch them play and I have money on the Clips, I find myself cheering for Paul not to give the ball to Griffin down the stretch.

Are the Clips for real this year?
