Go ask the Grizzlies if they were fooled by CP3 in the playoffs. You can get away with over dribbling and throwing lobs in the regular season not the post season.

You're a moron.

CP3 hit a game winner and was embarrassing Tony Allen and Mike Conley.

They didn't lose because CP3, they lost because Blake and Jordan couldn't match Gasol and Zbo. That same squad gave the best scorer in the game absolute hell.

They're pretty mediocre in the half court
:what:

They have the #1 offense in the league and arent top 10 in fast break points or pace.

Please explain how this is possible with their medicore halfcourt offense

Weak SF position.. Reddikk has been good but is he going to continue this at playoffs? I feel like CP3 isn't aggressive scoring wise..dude can score when he is. Like people said.. Deandre has no postup game whatsoever..+ a washed up bench

Captain of the team can't get past the second round...

Head coach makes really bad personnel decisions...

Best defensive big can't be on the floor during crunch time of the playoffs due to not being able to make a free throw...

Coach will play his son at critical moments for no other reason that it is his son...

Coach traded for his fukking son to begin with...

Their uber athletic smash everything big is slowly morphing into a settle for 15 foot jumpshot big...

The clippers are the ultimate great on paper not so great on the court team...

The NBA is a very predictable sport as far as player output is concerned. It's very rare for a player's production to fall off a cliff over a short period of time. The same could be said for the vice versa. The same could also be said for how a team performs against their competition. If you're good, you're good. All year long according to metric stats the Clippers have clearly been the 2nd best team in the NBA behind the Warriors of course. They are even better than the Warriors offensively. I don't think they can be stopped offensively and it's all because of Blake. You back off him he's going to shoot that well improved jumper. you step up he's going to blow by you, he can post you up. His most deadly weapon is his passing, 5 ast per game.:lawd: That Lob to DJ is one of the hardest things to guard in the NBA. It's like a pick your poison with Blake. Give up the jump shot, the dunk, the dime, or the lob!!! Chris paul leads the league in assists yet his power forward is still averaging 5 a game......WTF:mindblown: Blake is unbelievable, and is still arguably not the best player on the team. CP3 was being argued as an MVP candidate. I didn't see it but a lot of pundits did. Nonetheless, they are quite possibly the best offensive duo in the league. So Blake literally can't be guarded, CP3 is the Point God, JJ Reddikk is going to go through more screens than a burglar whose specialty is climbing through windows. DJ gives them so many second chances on offense and Matt Barnes is an adequate 3pt shooter. The bench is an absolute joke outside of JCrossover, which may very well be their downfall, but in the playoffs benches get short anyway, so we'll wait to see how that plays out. Their defense can be trash even though they've been the 7th best defense since the all star break. The only team they should fear is San Antonio who they have a lot of trouble with. They have proven they can beat everyone else in the west

Because they have the worst wings in sports. And they haven't upgraded their roster in 3 years.

:camby:
JJ Reddikk 16 PPG 48% fg 44% 3pt 90% ft

Jcrossover is the reigning sixth man

Matt Barnes is serviceable 10 PPG 45% fg 37% 3pt
:mjlol:

That's one starter quality player. And even if you want to say two starter quality players, depending on how you feel about JJ/Jcraw... that isn't enough. Not even close. Plus no backup point.


You gotta at least watch some games before you respond to me. :ehh:Varsity level shyt.

They have a half court offense not built for the playoffs.. They're too reliant on lobs, fast breaks and Chris Paul dominating the ball. They have no depth. No lock down wing defenders. Deandre Jordan can't even be on the court when people start hacking him. They're one of those teams with a flawed core that will always put up 50+ wins but won't get over the hump.

That being said, with all the injuries to Portland and Memphis, I can see them potentially beating any team in the west except SA and GS. They might make it to the WCFs depending on how the seeding turns out.

I hate them and their flopping style of play. Chris Paul is a fukking a$$hole who has a penchant for touching mens' testicles. Blake Griffin has no post moves and an ugly game. Deandre Jordan is an oaf who can't make 50% of his free throws or a shot beyond 3 feet from the basket. J. J. Reddikk is J. J. Reddikk. Jamal Crawford plays like he's on meth. Austin Rivers gets PT just because he's the coach's son. Matt Barnes is always fake gooning.

fukk that team. I don't know how anybody not from L.A. can like them.
