Could see the Clippers losing this series, actually. Portland's good where they're not, and Blake doesn't seem 100% to me.

Wouldn't even mind losing this year tbqh if it meant Rivers was fired and we got someone competent as a HC and GM.

[Lebron23]

Clippers in 6.

CP3 is going to break the ankles of 26 years old Damian Lillard.

Just don't see us dropping this series, Portland will test us, but six is where we take this in, if not seven at home.

Lillard/McCollum will have to be crazy all series, and Crabbe would need to chip in along with Ed Davis dominating the post.

Blake needs to get it going for the Warrior series tho

Personally feel Lillard will just go off this series. The Clippers are 3-1 against the Blazers this year but one of those games was super close, one of them involved a Redick GW, and another one didn't have McCollum playing due to a technicality.

I'm hoping the Clippers do win but I won't hold my breath, Golden State's probably taking it all this year.... and the rumours of Doc looking to boost Blake's trade value w/ the post-season before he moves him makes me sick. I want that clown gone so badly.

[Lebron23]

Lillard is a good volume scorer, but he's only shooting 42 FG%.

Lillard will probably average 30 on the series, CJ chipping in with 25, they just don't have any help after that. Aminu? Crabbe? Ed Davis? Won't happen.

Doc does need to go as the GM, but if the team clicks, I can see us upsetting GSW. I mean, we played them well, just let the games get away.

Doc Rivers needs to get the fcuk out of LA

He is TERRIBLE, both as a coach and ESPECIALLY as a GM

Blake is gone, not going to deal with these jokers any longer, that is unless good ol Doc trades him first

This will be Chris Paul's first series against a sub 50 win team. Just shows you how the west has gotten weaker.

I don't see this really being all that competitive. Clips in 5.

I don't see them losing the series unless Mccollum have a Jordanesque performance

[Smoke117]

Clippers SHOULD win this in 5...but i'm sure they'll manage to make it a 6 or 7 game series. CP3 has been a top 5 player in the league for 10 yeras now with such a bullshit let team that can't get it done. The guy who put away the defending championship Spurs on one leg is so disrespected by you ****ing mongoloids that know nothing about basketball...ugh.
