Clippers ain't nothing to F#*k with. They are sharp out the gates, going to be one confident bunch by seasons end.
What would hurt more, losing the Finals in Game 7 or getting swept by the Clippers? Hope neither happens.

Are you serious?
You don't know how to spot a championship caliber team do you? Skill is just one part of the equation. There are so many intangibles to make a team a champion. Clippers only have talent, that's it.
Crappy coach, crappy organization, they've never played in a big playoff game in their lives, the list goes on and on. |

I can't wait for the inevitable implosion of that team.

As far as spotting a championship team, you get them right all the time? Just say'n. |

I think those days mighty be over for a while as much as that hurts. They didn't implode last season, and they actually spent more money this season and it's paying off right now. |

Getting a little ahead of yourself. We're 10 games into the season. |

Can't hate on this Clips team. Always and forever will be a LAKERS fan, but I gotta give credit to this clips squad. As a fan of basketball in general, this team is pretty fun to watch. Still, in the end it's all about the Lake show and if/when it comes down to the wire and these two teams are last to battle it out in the West, I'll ALWAYS go with the purple and gold.

Watching Chris Paul's wannabe tough guy act while simultaneously flopping and whining to the refs isn't fun to watch. With all the athletes on that team, Chris Paul sure does grind the game down to a halt with his insistence to run a half court offense. |

I agree with you on Paul's whining and flopping. If he would cut that drama queen (bleep) out, it would serve him better. I don't know if you watched tonight's game for instance, but if you did, the fun was in watching the 2nd unit play. EBledsoe especially.

they are a legitimate threat. Super athletic and deep.

Matt Barnes 14 points / 9 rebounds / 3 steals off the bench.
While Devin Ebanks gets DNPs and Antawn Jamison shoots 20%. Really wished we kept Barnes.

It's only a matter of time before the Sterling tradition somehow implodes the Clippers ... |

In reality, they're playing very well, but once we get rolling, I'm sure we'll curb stomp these clowns, especially in the playoffs. |

Championships are won in June - NOT November.
As a "so-called" Lakers fan, you should already know this. |

| If Jordan keeps defending and rebounding as he has been, then they could be dangerous. |

If the Clips win a championship, a gigantic hole will open up in the Pacific and swallow everything and everyone inside of it.
I'd be SO happy to face the Clips in the playoffs. Bring it on. |

During all five of Kobe's championship seasons, I knew they were gonna win 
The other 12 seasons I thought he was gonna win too, but let's not count those. as me being wrong. |

All that is pre CP3. The guy is simply amazing.
But yeah, I don't think they can win it all because too much is on CP3. All this Jamal Crawford dancing around going one on one nonsense will end with bricks when it matters as usual in his career. In a half court setting, I still don't think Blake is a premiere go to guy.
Actually, these Clippers remind me very much of the Payton/Kemp Sonics. Top pg in the game paired with a high flying PF who doesn't have much of a half court go to post up game. |
