Clippers will win NBA championship this year

[selrahc]

Mark my words Clippers will win NBA championship this year. Most likely they will face The MiAmi Heats and Clippers have better lineup. Also, Clippers big three (Paul, Griffin, Bledsoe) > Heat big three (Jameson, Wade, Bosh). They have better lobbers and better interior defenese. There is no question as to who will win.

[Mamba]

here we go.

[OKCThunderUP]

Better lobbers...LOL. When has that ever been a criteria of a championship team?

That team isn't winning dick with the current head coach.

[TMT]

Oh the extremes people go to when a team has only been constructed on paper.

[Jimmy2k8]

I see that we're already jumping to conclusions already. I mean, we haven't even seen a single game of CP3 and Blake play together, yet here you are predicting they'll make it to the finals AND WIN.

[ballinhun8]

God damn wtf do we have mods for when we have retarded threads get posted up every 10 minutes.....

[Meticode]

PleezeBelieve,

Is that you?

[Clippersfan86]

:roll: . This thread is clearly a troll thread but you realize Vinny is twice the coach Brooks is? Yet OKC made WCF and he won COY already. Brooks is arguably the worst head coach in the NBA. I guess Thunder won't be winning anytime soon either based on that criteria?

[Lebron23]

I don't think so. They wouldn't beat the Thunder, Mavericks, Current Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies in a best of 7 series.

I want to see these team againts an aging Spurs team, and Blazers.

[Eric Cartman]

How stupid can you be to consider Bledsoe part of the "Big 3"

This might be your worst post yet.


Where the hell you get VDN is teice the coach Brooks is??? You realize this is why people are right when they call you a homer. VDN is a bad coach. He has somehow managed to keep his job when his teams have regressed for three straight seasons. What should have been a promising tenure with the Bulls, he managed to mess that up then won less games with the Clips. He's a timid coach and one that cant make adjustments to exploit matchups. If he doesn't get to the playoffs he should be fired.



Oh, and Brooks won COY then improved to get his team to the WCF. Something that Bunny has yet to know what feels like. His replacement won that award and made a CF appearance.

I don't know if you're delusional or just stupid (or both). Vinny, a guy who has NEVER coached a team to a better than .500 record, is better than a coach who has pushed his team to improve every single year, won COTY, and got his team to the WCF?

Makes perfect sense.

I just listened to three interviews today... from Wilbon, Broussand and Marc Stein each of which referred to Vinny as a very solid, underrated coach. Most NBA fans know Scott Brooks is incredibly overrated. He doesn't even coach. I'd like some legit Bulls fans to chime in too because I know a few like Rose have spoken on VDN.

Vinny is far from a great coach... but somebody who has Scott Brooks as a coach... saying another team can't win with their coach is hilarious. :oldlol: :roll:

Yes because Scott Brooks is the reason for the Thunder's turnaround :facepalm . You're ignorant dude. How can a coach who lets the team run nonstop iso ball and fastbreaks be coaching you to victories? When you want to see what a coach does.. watch Pjax, Pop, Hollins, Adelman etc. What Scott Brooks does is NOT coach. Let's his players run around wild. The team has absolutely zero structure even after 3 seasons together.

Vinny just finished his first year. I guarantee you right now Clippers will be a top 5 seed this year and Vinny will win coach of the year.

I guess you've decided to ignore the constant criticisms that Brooks has gotten for not actually coaching. Hell TNT crew commented on it multiple times in the playoffs how the Thunder looked so unorganized. It's really ugly basketball dude. He won COTY for the simple fact that the Thunder had an amazing turnaround. Not because he was the best coach. You probably think individual awards are an indication of the best players too.

[talkingconch]

No, I'm very aware of Brooks' shortcomings. I've been one of his biggest critics this past season. But your head coach has had decent talent in Chicago and LA...at least enough to go above .500. And he hasn't done that. Your guy has ZERO credentials suggesting he's a good head coach in this league, or better than Brooks. None. Zilch. Nada. Until he accomplishes something, ANYTHING, your argument is null and void.

[The Macho Man]

I will say the Thunder have the worst end of game possessions I've ever seen. They always seem to end up with Durant chucking up a deep 3.

Still way too soon dude. Chicago like us had a very young, unbalanced roster with injured players. Not only that but they competed like crazy in the playoffs in the first round both seasons. No matter how talented you feel the rosters are.. you need to give VDN more of a chance before criticizing him. He finally has a really good squad to work with this year. Let's see what he can do.

At worst Brooks is a slightly better coach. I just found it comical that a Thunder fan... who supports a coach that's known as very flawed.. is making comments like "You won't go anywhere with Vinny as your coach". You should know from having a super young coach that it takes time. Thunder took 2 full seasons before the turnaround in the 3rd season. Clippers have had one fu**ing season so lay off the double standards.

Vinny has the tools to become a good coach and as of right now he's a decent-solid one. People act like coaches win championships. Unless you're an elite coach like Pops, Adelman, PJ, Hollins, Rivers etc.. a coaches impact is very minimal in the way of wins and losses. It's up to the players to get it done.

For example.. Erik Spoelstra is a subpar coach but got COTY considerations because Miami's players carried the team far. They could of easily won the ring with Spoelstra as a coach. Which proves a coach isn't going to prevent a championship.

[Clippersfan86]

Yup. Very bad execution. Tons of iso ball. Dependent on fastbreaks. Once Thunder slow down into halfcourt sets they are a total mess.

At least you're willing to admit you were wrong.

For the record, the 23 win season of 08-09 Brooks was not the head coach until the second half of the season. His only two full seasons as a head coach he's won 50 and then 55 games and taken his team to the WCF. Both playoff exits have been to the eventual champs.

Maybe in 2015 if the Clippers keep Paul and Griffin and make the necessary moves to balance out their roster they might win a championship. This season, I'll consider the 2nd round a successful season.

I'd say even 2014 if everything goes smooth and everybody can stay healthy. I'd say every year there are about 5 teams that have a legit shot if they luck out with right opponents in playoffs, health etc. Clippers need to just put themselves in a position to be one of those 5 teams.

And :banghead: at Bledisoe being big 3 material...Butler or Jordan would be the third wheel if anything

[Hank]

The Heat would sweep the Clippers in 4 games in a playoff series.

Defense wins in the playoffs and the Clippers have no defense while the Heat are the best defensive team in the NBA.

Lazy lobbers be damned.

[Fiasco]

The Heat would sweep the Clippers in 4 games in a playoff series.

The Heat couldn't even sweep the season series between the two teams last year.

The best defensive team let the Clippers score 44 points in the 1st quarter.

[scott0326]

I'd honestly be really surprised if any team besides Miami won the NBA finals this year.

[Hank]

regular season means nothing.

Heat 0-3 vs Bulls in reg season and 1-4 vs Celtics in reg season (or whatever it was).

Then the playoffs came and a total reversal = Heat 4-1 vs Bulls and 4-1 vs Celtics in playoffs.

I think it's abit unfair to call Spo a subpar coach, I think he is a pretty good coach with potenial to be a very good one. His defense is top tier and has been most years.

Although Doc Rivers was considered sub par before Boston won the title.

Fair enough. Maybe Spo is in that average-solid bracket... but so are half the coaches in the NBA and that was my main point. Most NBA coaches are on the same tier. With a couple terrible and couple elite ones thrown in. Scott Brooks is not on that high tier of coach in my opinion.

[AngelEyes]

I don't know if I see an NBA championship in the next year or two but I definitely see an NBA season in which fans can be legitimately be excited. Clippers fans have never experienced anything like this before. An ultra exciting power foward carved out of granite teaming with an extremely accomplished multi skilled point guard.

[SacJB Shady]

The Clippers are definitely not gonna win the NBA Finals this year. They probably won't even make the finals. They don't have a championship bench. Griffin and Paul are not as good as defenders as the trio of the Heat. So I don't see how they are gonna win the championship. Championships take hard work, they are not just bought. Believe me, while the Clippers are so relieved right now, the Heat and Lakers are working much harder. The Clippers are a top 10 team at best. Pretty good talent,(though not the best) yet unproven chemistry.

[Hank]

Mavericks swept the Heat in the regular season.

after that 0-2 record in the reg season the Heat won two of the first 3 games of the series. And frankly, easily could have won game 2 to go up 3-0 if not for some crazy shots the mavs made at the end of that game. Full Credit to them but I hope you're not stupid enough to miss the point


Only a moron would speak in such absolutes.

only a moron goes solely by regular season record as you implied. As it's been proven time and time again that regular season results don't mean much in a playoff series.

The Heat when they won the championship in 2006 had a losing regular season record to the Nets (1-3) , Pistons (1-3) and Mavs (0-2) that year.

The Heat beat em all in 6 games or less in the playoffs.

And again Last year, the Heat were 1-3 or 1-4 vs the Celtics in the reg season. And the Heat were 0-3 vs the Bulls.. and the Heat beat em both in 5 games in the playoffs. Regular season means jack in the postseason.

[Lebron23]

The New Look Clippers haven't play a single game in the NBA. Just be more realistic in your predictions. A Healthy Grizzlies, Lakers, Thunder, Dallas, and even the Spurs are a better team that the Clippers. They better pray that CP3 doesn't miss a lot of games this season because they have a weak bench.

[dunksby]

The only thing that Clippers are gonna win this year is an 8th place ticket to the playoffs.

[poido123]

I think the clippers have the talent there to be the best in the west..your talking about griffin in his fourth year..chris paul coming into his prime, teamed together they will have some serious offense, perhaps strong enough to overcome their not so good defense..lakers are old, losing odom they have kinda made a step backwards, OKC is too one dimensional, talented but they look disorganised and downright lost at the end of games..Spurs too old, Mavericks? well i consider them right there..Grizzlies, hard to say, id guess they will be better having gay back, depending on how he fits on, lost battier..I predict a bulls vs clippers final :)

People exaggerate so much when it comes to Clippers players. CP3 played 80 games last year and at a very high level. People think he declined... but he also took less shots and was more of a facilitator, less a scorer than ever before. The only problem he had was he was a step slower because knee wasn't fully healed.

CP3's career average in games played in his 5 or 6 seasons is 71 games a year.

[D-Wade316]

The only thing that Clippers are gonna win this year is an 8th place ticket to the playoffs.
No. They'd probably land 4th-7th. Heck, CP3 with a worse supporting cast carried his team to 7th place.

[Bigsmoke]

with vinny del negro as their coach. :oldlol:

on paper, they look like a championship team but i dont know.

[Clippersfan86]

No. They'd probably land 4th-7th. Heck, CP3 with a worse supporting cast carried his team to 7th place.

Take it a step further. CP3 carried an average squad to 56 wins 3 seasons ago... There are two other players in the entire NBA that can carry bad teams pretty much by themselves like that. Dwight Howard and Lebron James. Which is why I just don't like when people say CP3 is overrated. Or he won't do squat with the Clippers etc.

If you thought he did well with declining Peja, Chandler and David West... imagine what he's going to do with DJ, Butler, Griffin, Billups and our other guys like Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes etc.

[knickswin]

i think blake is too raw right now. give it like three years and i think they'll be real contenders barring injury. once blake can take over games at the end, they'll be good.

[chips93]

so i guess the clippers are going to be a lot more polarizing than i thought . . .

but you guys arent getting 07-09 cp3, you are getting 2012 cp3, the guy who looked passive all season long, had a career low usage rate, and a much lower assist rate than he had when he was an mvp candidate in 08 and in 09, and the guy who was phenomenal for a 6 game stretch against the lakers

cp3 is a great unknown right know, will he be assertive like old cp3, or passive and focusing on game-management like the 2011 regular season cp3.

also, fwiw the 07 cavs swept the 07 spurs in the regular season.

First off this thread is a troll thread. Only reason I even posted was because people were actually responding to it.. and as usual, posting bad information/false information about the Clippers. So the team hasn't become polarizing it's just a few people who intentionally want to troll.

As I said Chris Paul's "decline" wasn't actually a decline. It was him being less aggressive when looking to score. It was a choice. It was him having many less weapons around him to work with than in previous years. It wasn't due to his health or inability to drop 20 points anymore because he's a tad bit slower (maybe this year will be 100 percent).

Did you see the second to last game he played last season in the playoffs? I understand it was mostly against the laughable Lakers guards... but 27 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, 2 steals? He absolutely merc'd the team. He's still VERY capable dude. He looked just like old CP3. People were saying "OMG he's still the best PG! Derrick Rose who?".

Now that he's on the Clippers though everybody is looking at it negatively. "I hope his knees don't get blown out" "let's see if he can stay healthy" "he's declined". Like I said... 80 games last year, average of 71 a year in his career. He shouldn't be classified as injury prone yet. Not to mention he just turned 26! As a point guard..... if he can keep in great shape the dude can be a star until his early-mid 30's. We are talking about up to 6 or 7 seasons of him being an all star.

People are so negative about the Clippers. How many times do I have to tell you guys this isn't the same Clippers of old? I'll give you many examples.


"Sterling doesn't spend money":

1. Signed Caron Butler to a contract considered overpay.
2. Claimed Chauncey Billups.
3. Re-signed DJ for a massively overpaid contract.
4. Paid every single employee during lockout, no layoffs.


"Clippers don't care about winning":

1. Clippers FO have flat out said Donald was determined this year. He practically begged Neil/Vinny to go out and turn this team into a contender. I believe it because everybody from players to Lawler have said the same thing. Donald is sick of losing and being ridiculed and he's spending now.

2. If you don't care about winning you don't take on huge risks. Like getting a possible 2 year rental CP3 for your most valuable assets outside of Blake Griffin.

3. The fact that the Clippers were the most aggressive team this offseason in the way of free agency AND pulling off the biggest trade is contradictory to the idea that they don't want to win.


"Nobody wants to stay here/play here":

1. Multiple big name players named us as a top 3 choice on their "wishlists", including CP3 who we have now.

2. Eric Gordon came out and flat out said he loves his team, teammates and wants to stay here the rest of his career. When he was traded the dude was devastated.

3. The fact that Chauncey Billups yesterday flat out admitted the Clippers are lucky they claimed him because they are one team he'd like to play for. He basically said if a bad team claimed him he would definitely retire... but he feels the Clippers just need guys like him to get over the hump.

Lose Kaman+Aminu+Eric Gordon... add Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler and we got worse? :oldlol: .

BTW Billups is a 6'4 215 pound guard. He's starting at 2... and Foye is a combo guard who will back him up. Billups put up 17 ppg, 5.5 apg last year. As starter Foye put up 16 and 5 for almost 20 games when Eric Gordon went down. Our front office is working out back up centers as we speak. Clippers are gonna be fine bro! You worry about your team.

This will be bumped as soon as they are eliminated in playoffs. The season has not started for all we know they could pull a 9-8 start like Miami...

The Clippers have an awesome roster and an upcoming bandwagon, but I'm not convinced just yet.... Team needs time to mesh + Blake has no Playoff experience.

Exactly true. I actually DO expect them to start like Miami. Because they have had even less time than Miami to gel. CP3 will mesh easier and faster than Lebron/Bosh but it's safe to say starting off around 10-10 before figuring it out isn't too farfetched.

Like I told everybody before. Way too soon to call them a contender right away... but also way too soon for all these people to call them a pretender. For all we know the team may start 3-7. Or they may start 10-0. Who knows!

:roll: . This thread is clearly a troll thread but you realize Vinny is twice the coach Brooks is? Yet OKC made WCF and he won COY already. Brooks is arguably the worst head coach in the NBA. I guess Thunder won't be winning anytime soon either based on that criteria?
:facepalm

Clippers are not even title contenders right now. It would far from surprise me if they get knocked out in the 1st round. My view on this would be different if the Clippers still had Eric Gordon though.

I agree. Clippers are not title contenders yet. Let's give them a year or two before we assume they are or aren't.

Oh my word. Not the Miami Heat thing again. I say no. They have to adjust to roles and find chemistry. Not this year. Man, the Clipper fans have to be excited. I am glad for them. 7 playoff appearances in 40 years! Congrats, Clippers and to their fans. You guys will make the playoffs this season...and hopefully for years to come.

why so much hate for clippers? it is obvious they have best team in league.

chris paul = best point gaurd in nBA, chauncey billups = lockdown defender of two guards, caron butler = scottie pipen, blake griffin = best power forward of all time, deandre jordan = young shaquille oneal.

the clippers have better team and more depth than any other team in west and even better than miami heat.

Vinny >> Brooks right?

[Bladers]

I just listened to three interviews today... from Wilbon, Broussand and Marc Stein each of which referred to Vinny as a very solid, underrated coach. Most NBA fans know Scott Brooks is incredibly overrated. He doesn't even coach. I'd like some legit Bulls fans to chime in too because I know a few like Rose have spoken on VDN.

Vinny is far from a great coach... but somebody who has Scott Brooks as a coach... saying another team can't win with their coach is hilarious. :oldlol: :roll:

The joke's on you homey. :oldlol:

Yes because Scott Brooks is the reason for the Thunder's turnaround :facepalm . You're ignorant dude. How can a coach who lets the team run nonstop iso ball and fastbreaks be coaching you to victories? When you want to see what a coach does.. watch Pjax, Pop, Hollins, Adelman etc. What Scott Brooks does is NOT coach. Let's his players run around wild. The team has absolutely zero structure even after 3 seasons together.

Vinny just finished his first year. I guarantee you right now Clippers will be a top 5 seed this year and Vinny will win coach of the year.

I bumped an old thread where CF86 and I were arguing, and now there's other old threads that are being bump to show CF86's failed predictions. :oldlol:

[Jimmy2k8]

Mark my words Clippers will win NBA championship this year. Most likely they will face The MiAmi Heats and Clippers have better lineup. Also, Clippers big three (Paul, Griffin, Bledsoe) > Heat big three (Jameson, Wade, Bosh). They have better lobbers and better interior defenese. There is no question as to who will win.
