Glad to see it. 50 wins and 2nd round exits until CP3 retires is a fitting punishment for the vetoed New Orleans deal. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

2nd round exit would be a step up from what they were doing last year. I'm not even sure they can get out of the 1st round this year. |

It's going to be another 1st round exit.
I'll be watching and pissing myself. |

Clippers will have to make a lineup change if they don't go deep this year, imo. Not sure what they need, considering they have quality role players and 2 All-Stars on offense. But that team just doesn't work. |

Trading Blake Griffin for a real power forward would do wonders for them... Hope they never figure that fact out though. _________________ Whenever the Lakers benefit all of a sudden rules need to be changed and trades need to be blocked.

CP3 is ruining the Clippers. Blake should be the "man" on that team, not Paul.

I don't think that Blake is the problem, the problem in the playoffs is CP3. Guy is just not a prime time player. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

agree, the guy's game evolves dribbling dribbling and more dribbling on offense, and flopping on defense. PGs with superb athletic ability would give him a lot of headaches, and in the west they got a ton of those PGs: Lilliard, Westbrook, Mike Conley. to be honest i think CP3 matches up well against Steph Curry, but not any of those aforementioned athletic guards. |

I've been wondering the same thing. Every team that underachieves has some element of soap opera, but I haven't heard anything about the Clippers. I ran a Google search and found a YouTube video from last season and . . . this thread. |

You're kidding right?
The Clippers problem is chemistry and game plan. When they start to play team ball instead of Lob City Ball they'll be a tough win. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I think Paul is too ball dominant. Wants to score his share, thinks he HAS to score what he has for most of his career. One of those guys I think is a good player, but one who's been stuck in playoff limbo with nary a change to his approach.
Jordan Hill and Blake. These players are less versatile than Paul is. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

You've got to be kidding. That goofy report is what got this thread started? It doesn't even make a lot of sense.
Quote: | The Clippers have recently gotten the reputation of being one of the closest teams in the league, but the obvious dissention displayed amongst the members of the team are making people doubt how close the Clippers have become. |
Say what? And I won't even mention the fact that the author doesn't even know how to spell dissension. Oops, I just did. |

They were better with VDN. They were dominant in the regular season with him. And that was with a lesser version of Blake Griffin and D.Jordan.
If not for injruies in the playoffs to Blake and Cp3 while VDN was coaching, they could have went pretty far i think.
Also, maybe Cp3 is declining a little bit. he needs to be a more aggressive scorer. |

The Clippers Imploding... If only. Son... come watch the pretty colors in the sky. Wow, that was a nice one, that bright red firework was a Blake griffin. And that short fiery one was a CP3. _________________ "If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote.

The Clippers are not as talented as people think and they need a SF. Matt Barnes should be a bench player, not a starter. Also, it really hurts their defense when they have Reddick and Crawford in there. And now the Clipper bench is much weaker without Bledsoe/Collison.
Another obvious problem is DeAndre Jordan still being so limited offensively.
People criticize Paul but I think Blake Griffin is the guy who hasn't stepped up for them in the biggest games. He underperformed against OKC in the playoffs and really struggled against Ibaka.
They have too many weaknesses to win the conference. |

Who runs that offense? CP3 faded in the playoffs in NO as well. Some guys just aren't big game players. Heck, he faded badly when his Wake Forest team faced Deron Williams and the Illini. It isn't that CP3 is a bad player or that they should bench him, they just need to find someone else to step up in the playoffs. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
