Clippers will get bounced out in the first round

[Thechosen1]

one reason VDN

[Clippersfan86]

I agree Vinny is a lame coach.... but comon dude. They just lost by 3 to the hottest team in the NBA and another elite team in the west. They had to give the damn game away too. 9 games over .500... and the team is still improving.. let's give them till the end of the year before making predictions like this.

[ChrisKreager]

Who can you really trust in the West to possibly beat them in round 1? Injury-plagued Denver? The anti-road warrior Lakers? Playoff nomad Houston?

As far as I'm concerned, nothing will surprise me out West. Nothing will surprise me in that conference come springtime.

[iDefend5]

second reason chauncey billups is done

[ImmortalNemesis]

Well it depends. If they finish top 3 they won't get bounced. If Clipps finish 4th, 5th seed has a legit chance.

It's sad that injuries and fatigue is going to be 80 percent of it. By the time playoffs hit every team will probably have at least 2 key players out. ALL teams will be extremely exhausted and banged up. In hindsight it would have been MUCH better if the league did a 50 game schedule.

This. Most teams have at least one key player out of their rotation. I hate injuries. I wish every team could always play at full strength. A lot of this season will come down to which team is healthier, which is definitely unfair.

[Clippersfan86]

Wouldn't say "screwed" dude. They almost stole the recent games vs Mavs and Spurs who are far better coached and more experienced. The Clippers are rapidly improving obviously and will likely be a better squad by season end.

That being said... Spurs and Mavs are absolutely the two teams in the west I hope the Clippers can avoid. The great coach coaching, experience, great execution of these teams really hurt the Clippers.

I agree..... it's lame. It's why it's very hard outside of maybe 3 teams (Bulls, Thunder, Heat) to call many teams legit elite teams right now. The "top" teams will go on 5+ game win streaks then get blown out by 30+ by a bad team. It's purely due to fatigue and injuries. No way to get a great read on 27 other teams like you normally can.

Agree. They have a lot to improve on but I believe they will improve before playoffs. VDN hasn't proved that he can coach these guys and I doubt he will ever prove it.

[roffie]

not having billups really hurt them in the line up. i wouldnt say they are completely fkd, but probably not as good as they could have been.

[SCdac]

just making it to the playoffs is an achievement for that franchise lol.

[Clippersfan86]

Way to make a douchy, uninformed comment :facepalm . Obviously the expectations from others as well as the team are MUCH higher this season and going forward than merely making the playoffs.

lol you know LA clippers play in LA right and as far as I know its still Lakers town so those would be as good as home games

so whats the realistic expectations for the clippers this year?

[EnoughSaid]

Teams like OKC, Chicago and Miami need to blow out teams early and get some rest down the stretch. If Wade or LeBron suffer an injury, I think I'm going to go cry in bed. :cry:

[poido123]

I really thought JR smith would of made the Clippers the ones to beat out West. Not the knucklehead JR, but one who would thrive in a high octane, athletic dunk show, run by the best pg in the league, knocking down the wide open 3's too.

[Jameerthefear]

Vinny just a bad coach
no Billups is starting to show in the closeout

2nd or 3rd round is very realistic. Finals would be a an overachivement and 1st round exit a disappointment.

[Bigsmoke]

is there gonna be a clippers thread whenever they lose?

[knickswin]

the could probably win if they get a lesser western team, but i could see even a team like houston or memphis upsetting them. it is the coaching. it's horrible. it's inexplicable. they play random ball. they'll be a force next year if they can get a real coach.

[GS1905]

we going all the way brah brah

we'll beat anyone who comes out from the east.. whether its the bulls or the heat. no one can stop us

Really bro? lol :confusedshrug:

Would road games to Staples Center really be that rough? Are they gonna be like "Man, this is tough. We gotta get back home to.......... Staples Center". :roll:

[Celtic_Pride]

They match up pretty bad with the Mavs and Spurs. A fully fit Nuggets can surely upset them

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

2nd or 3rd round is very realistic. Finals would be a an overachivement and 1st round exit a disappointment.

2nd round & out is realistic...3rd round meaning conference finals? lol no....

even 1st can be tough if they are the 4th seed and lakers/mavs the 5th...which can easily happen....

so its all about matchup.....all the dunks and bs is good in regular season but in playoffs they will have to work for everything...

why they can lose:
nobody will guard deandre and can double up on Griffin
nobody will guard or atleast ignore the SG...and double up on CP3
keep blake out of the lane
make cp3 a scorer

horrible bench. They are 27 or 29th in the league...

Ask the Clippers opponents if they think it's impossible for the team to make the conference finals. Hell ask the Spurs who admitted they should have an L tonight yet continued their 10 game winning rampage. The Clippers are a legit contender and every team around the league knows it.

Multiple analysts and a couple head coaches like Lionel Hollins have already said this is definitely a team that can be in the finals this year. I think acting like they are a 2nd round team max is ignorant.

Clippers are still a work in progress and people need to remember that. In the last two weeks they have went from 30th in rebounding rank to 15th... and 28th in defense to 22nd. They are going to keep improving and by season end are going to be a fully recognized elite team if they are mostly healthy.

Lakers are dead last in bench scoring I think, so we can't talk lol but other than that, with a decent pg and hopefully new sf, I think lakers would be a force or tough in the playoffs. With that said, stern HOPES the'll be a clippers vs lakers playoffs series :roll:

Look at the "elite" teams in the NBA and you'll see a few in the bottom 10 for bench production. It just cracks me up that if the Clippers lose one game... a thread is made about how they are pretenders, floppers etc every time. They are losing extremely close games to good teams the last couple games. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. If anything it proves they ARE legit contenders.

clippers have a good team but they will have a really tough time in the PO

[blablabla]

i could only see them getting past the 1st round if they get the 2nd seed and play the nuggets

[Askmeificare]

"legit contenders" :facepalm

[TaLvsCuaL]

I think the Grizz could upset them even without being healthy. Against a healthy Memphis? could be a shameful/embarrasing Clippers series.

[Yung D-Will]

Exactly.

The Clippers are in no way shape or form better than a healthy Griz team.

In fact Okc is the only team I really could see beating Memphis if they're completely healthy and their chemistry's clicking between Gay and the healthy frontcourt.

[B]

Until the clippers start showing signs of playing hardnosed defense they won't be a playoff threat. Right now they look like a regular season team that will flameout when the pace slows down and teams ratchet up the defense for the playoffs

I wasn't going to respond because obviously you're ignorant... but...

There is a simple explanation for their losses against these good teams.

1. The losses to Chicago and San Antonio were the 2nd and 3rd game of the season for a team that had TWO practices together before. Obviously you saw this time they had the game in the bag vs the Spurs and were a completely different team.

2. They lost by 4 to the Lakers who played quite possibly their most complete game of the year.

3. They just lost to Dallas in a VERY close road game by 3 or 4 points. Dallas is quite possibly the toughest place to play on the road over the last decade or so.


Then you factor in their wins.

Lakers
Mavericks
Nuggets
Thunder
Jazz
Sixers
Heat
Grizzlies
Rockets
Blazers
Magic

These are all quality wins, a few of them being on the road. If anything all of this points to a legit contender, not a pretender. The good thing is the playoffs are only a couple months ago.... so when the Clippers are making a deep run I can make a sh**load of threads about it.

If you guys just gave the team a little respect I wouldn't even say anything. It's the fact that people still want to troll the team and call them pretenders that's going to make it fun for me to make threads come playoff time.

Clippers are one game behind the Spurs for 2nd seed in the west and should have HCA. This is all in their first season together as a team. They should be given more respect. They've now climbed from 29th overall defense to 19th overall defense in 2 weeks... and 30th in rebounding to 14th. By season end both will be higher.

the Clippers has what it takes to win the West. just need to step up on D

[disel]

The barely beat a Rockets team missing Lowry, Kevin Martin, Chandller Parsons, Marcus Camby and Derrick Fisher. Really it took Pauls pathetic flopping tio get them over the line.

lol@thismoron. OKC, Spurs, maybe fakers are all far superior

[stephanieg]

Clippers still bottom 10 in defense. Awesome. I guess CP3's flopping and gambling, their putrid swingmen, Blake's t-rex arms, and Deandre never seeing a pumpfake he didn't go for isn't gonna get it done.

[Bigsmoke]

lol@thismoron. OKC, Spurs, maybe fakers are all far superior

Blair short fat ass was able to feast out against the THunder.

Spurs and Lakers are getting old and i didnt say the Clippers WILL win it all this year but have a solid chance.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Depends on the team. If they stay at the 4th seed, Memphis has a legit shot at knocking them out. They matchup very well with us. Zeke and Gasol =/= Deandre and Griffin; Conley/Gay/Allen/Mayo >>> Butler/Paul/Mo only because of the defensive end. Nick Young may be able to offset this, but I'm not sure how well he'll fit. Is he a good catch and shoot player? Is dude just gonna chuck up shots killing the ball movement? Time will tell, although, I do like that he gives us another dimension on offense. Young is definitely a better scorer than Mo.

The Clips are like a younger and less experienced version of the Grizzlies (if CP3 turns on that extra gear like he usually does come postseason time, all bets are off).

[Whoah10115]

Clippers vs. OKC would be fun. Obviously that's not the 1st round matchup tho.


I think Memphis beats everyone...tho the Clippers would scare me if playing the Grizzlies, because the best player on the court will be Chris Paul.

Yep. Paul plays at a completely different level in the playoffs. Like I said, if dude is playing anywhere near the way he did vs the Lakers or in that nutty 2008 run, EVERY team is in deep shit.

No reason to troll me because you got McGee on your squad now man. Read the dates. That was like 3-4 weeks ago before the Clippers massive downfall. Obviously I'm not as happy with or confident about the team right now until they prove otherwise.

[qrich]

It all depends on who they end up matching up against. If its Dallas or San Antonio, I don't expect to make it to round 2, while against the Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies I can see the Clips getting it together and pulling it out. Against the Nuggs, Rockets (Suns, Jazz, Wolves are 2 and 2.5 games out of the 8th seed), I see the Clips taking those without much of an issue. The race in the West is just way too close right now to try to predict our first round opponent. With tonights win and San Ant losing, the Clips are now 4 games within 2nd seed, 2.5 from 3rd, .5 up on Mem and Dallas for 4th and 1 up on Denver in 7th. 2 Up on the Rockets in 8th. Anything can happen

Derek Fisher missing was a big deal, really? Really?

Clippers were missing Billups and Young, why was that not mentioned as well?

No! Billups and Young are scrubs! Nevermind that the Clippers couldn't buy a call in their own home gym until the last couple minutes of the game. Nevermind that the idiot known as Vinny is coaching the Clippers. These fans talk so much sh**... but the minute the Clippers get a very good coach... these fans are going to be praying they don't meet the Clippers in the playoffs.

Size, shooting, man defense, improves bench.

[wagexslave]

Let's just put it this way... if they were 1st seed, and my Suns made 8th seed and faced them in the first round, I most likely wouldn't be worried, despite them having a more talented roster. They just don't have the heart and determination to be a great team. If I were a Clippers fan, I don't know if I'd be able to say with confidence that they will make it far in the playoffs.

You never know though, I guess.

[Faberg]

Of course that depends on who they draw in the first round. If the Clippers play the Grizzlies, they're getting bounced.
Clippers struggle in the half court and the Grizzlies excel. When the playoffs roll around, they are really going to miss Billups.

You can't "Lob City" your way through the playoffs and expect to be successful.

[LA_Showtime]

They've got the talent to compete with anyone in the West but I doubt they do anything special this year. The only guy who's actually proven himself is Paul.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

I think they will get bounced in the 1st round too...

Dunks would be limited so DeAndre would be useless
Teams will pack in the paint so Blake has to hit those long 15ft jumpers.....
C Butler is ok and not consistent
nick young starting at SG? lol enough said....

It was for 10 games and he was HORRENDOUS. Like literally Ryan Gomes level. That being said... he's been a lot better last 3 games and is finding his groove again.

[Celtic_Pride]

Lets check their potential 1st round opponents

Grizzlies - Front court of Zbo and Marc will eat the Clippers front court and it will not even be a contest. CP3 is everything for the Clippers in playoffs and Tony Allen will be guarding him for most of the game, good luck with that. Anything less than a sweep, it will be an achievement

Mavericks - Does anyone on the Clippers roster even have a remote chance of guarding 7 footer Dirk 1 on 1? If Dirk continues his last year playoff run, Mavs will steamroll past Clippers. Oh and 6'7 Marion will be guarding Chris Paul all the game!

Lakers - At one point I thought Clippers can beat Lakers in a series with a healthy Billups but with the emergence of Bynum, Lakers getting a true point guard, teams figuring out Griffin and Lakers having the homecourt advantage throughout the series, its really impossible to think Clippers can beat the Lakers in a series. Ron Artest who will be physical might be guarding Paul all the game and CP3 might set a record for the number of flops in a series!

I dont think they will face OKC or Spurs in the 1st round. But yeah, seriously how can they get past 1st round if they face Grizzlies or Mavs or Lakers ?

[I.R.Beast]

VDN = Very Dumb Negro.....he is a shitty coach

[Micku]

They need to get a new coach, sure. But I think anybody in the West could knock out each other in the first round. Except for the Thunder.

If the playoffs would start now, it'll be:

OKC vs Houston
Spurs vs Denver
Lakers vs Mavs
Clippers vs Memphis


The way I see it, anybody could knock out each other if they are all healthy and at full strength, except for OKC.

[MJ(Mean John)]

I agree Vinny is a lame coach.... but comon dude. They just lost by 3 to the hottest team in the NBA and another elite team in the west. They had to give the damn game away too. 9 games over .500... and the team is still improving.. let's give them till the end of the year before making predictions like this.


WEREN'T YOU the one making predictions saying they would hit the finals or some shit like that? that they were going to win a ring or can win it all? WITH ALL THAT TALENT?

I mean they have the best power foward, the best point guard and a top 5 center?
with the up and coming BEAST in the making bledsoe? He is a franchise player in the making? :facepalm

Not even close. First off.... I predicted 2nd round for them even at their peak with a SHOT at the WCF. Never thought they would even get to the WCF let alone finals. They had as much of a shot as anybody in the western conference when they were the 2 seed and dominating.

Obviously it's stupid to act like I'm an idiot for feeling that way in hindsight because things have changed.
