Clippers will come out in the West this year.

[imnew09]

If Chris Paul and Griffin stay healthy, this team will head to the Final. Clippers have a very complete and experience roster, and a good coach. The only team that I think can compete against them in West is the Thunder, which will eventually get outcoached.

[JUDGE WITNESS]

its possible but in no way is it absolute

[Milbuck]

Coaching is really a wash, Doc Rivers is more less the LA Scottie Brooks.

Just kidding. If the Clippers take out OKC, it'll be because of Doc sonning Brooks.

[Warfan]

:durantunimpressed:

[senelcoolidge]

If healthy it's possible. They still need a back up big.

I don't see it. I think Spurs are coming out again

[navy]

They arent good enough defensively. They will have to stop Durant.

[juju151111]

Clippers will be deadly when healthy. JJ Riddick makes this team crazy stack. Just watch when he returns.

[DaSeba5]

They have a good shot.

[ImKobe]

Let's see them win a game past the 1st round before we come to this conclusion. I don't see them beating OKC or a healthy San Antonio.

I'd love to see a Rockets-Clippers series, it would be a dog fight between two running teams that score a lot of points and play at a high pace, I think it would be the most entertaining series in the Western Conference.

[Project018]

They have a good chance. Need another back up big and for Blake to play top 5 basketball rest of the season and playoffs. If the playoffs started next week I would have them second to get out of the west behind OKC.

The flopping fines would be over 1 million dollars :facepalm

[Genaro]

Like every year Spurs are forgotten during the regular season, but I wouldn't count them out. To me is Spurs or Thunder if WB plays like he was before he goes out.

Redick would probably average 25ppg against Harden.

I think the whole team have to keep healthy if they want to contend. Redick is important and give them firepower along with Jamal Crawford coming off the bench.

I don't think Doc Rivers will get horribly outcoached by anyone except for Pop. And I don't count the Spurs out yet since they are battling injuries. I think a healthy Spurs could beat the Clips. The Spurs have the Clips number for a couple of years now.

Can see them getting to conference finals.. Don't see Thunder getting beat.

Last two playoffs they had injuries. Blake was hurt etc. So if they are healthy this time around they should be good. Oh the Clippers would love to face the Rockets..that's one of the easiest series for them. That's almost an automatic pass to the next round.

Healthy Spurs can beat OKC

Clippers suck in the playoffs, they dont have an extra gear like the true contenders do.

They think the "lob city" shit works in the playoffs. CP3 is going to be a career loser soon if his team doesn't start going deeper into the playoffs.

They CAN yes.. Will they? I would Be surprised

I have learnt to never count out the spurs.. So I would never say they can't do something. Wouldn't shock me if they won the West again but just don't expect it.

High draft pick
Clear some salary

And hope for the best in free agency.. Feels weird rooting for losses. But it is what it is. Got to lose to rebuild.

Aren't they predicting Lakers are getting Wiggins at this stage?

Lakers probably wanted Embiid, but I think he is injured now. Reckon Melo or Love will come over?

I think love is very possible, Melo? No chance imo

Don't see any way love stays in minny

Love is probably what the Lakers need anyway. Westbrook might come to Lakers when his contract is up as well.

1 OKC def 8 PHX 4-1

3 LAC def 6 GS 4-3

Think Westbrook depends on how much success okc have and if he is happy as 2nd option. Think russ stays there to be honest.

I am not sure if Westbrook is the second option? They seem to be 1a 1b. Durant is going to Houston, I can feel it

Lol Durant going to Houston :roll:

Durant to New York or LAC. I can feel it .

But back to topic, LAC has a very deep bench rotation when all is healthy

[Bigsmoke]

Anybody besides those boring ass spurs

[senelcoolidge]

Spurs are only good if their main guys are healthy come playoff time. The years when Ginobili or Parker or Duncan had injuries during the playoffs they did nothing. I don't think they will be as successful this post season.

[ArbitraryWater]

I don't see it. I think Spurs are coming out again

Spurs be crushed by Blazers, Thunder or Clippers. Id see them loosing vs Mavs too

[Demitri98]

My western conference:

R1

1 Thunder beats 8 Suns in 4
2 Spurs beat 7 Grizzlies in 5
3 Clippers beat 6 Rockets in 6
5 Warriors beat 4 Blazers in 6

R2

1 Thunder beat 5 Warriors in 6
3 Clippers beat 2 Spurs in 7

CF

1 Thunder beat 3 Clippers in 7

[Thechosen1]

why do people make jinx threads for teams not the thunder or heat?

[imnew09]

With the addition of Granger, Clippers will win in the west

[rhowen4]

getting more and more excited for these western matchups

[sportjames23]

Long as the Clippers don't run into the Warriors or Grizzlies. Those two teams seem to play their absolute best against the Clips and give them headaches. I could see the Clips beating the Spurs or Thunders doe.

[imnew09]

As y'all know, my prediction is fairly decent.

The team is f**king stacked, and all the star players are peaking at the right time...You see CP3 making 8/9 3pts. Griffin plays well as usual. Jordan had the 25 points 18 rebounds 4 blks game.

Yes, the have a legit chance to make the finals and maybe win a ring who knows...
