The Clippers have been top 5 on offense and defense all year, they are no slouch


1st in off and 14th in def.

quote:

They upgraded their coaching. Jordan and Griffin are much improved.



Outside of jordan's minutes and PER36 rebounds and slight up in bpg, he didn't improve much.

Griffin's ppg went up but so did his fga per game.

So not really that much improved. Coaching is 100% guarantee.

quote:

the trolls are the ones saying that team was a contender. And good job picking out one sentence and ignoring the rest, bitch.



you're complaining that people do that? you're a little bitch to even come back with that LOL

quote:

How old are you? This is clearly not the case. There were 6 teams within 3 games of the top seed in the West.


Outside of SA, 2->5 ranked teams, only 5 games separate them

In '07-08 from 1->8 is 7 wins.

They would have had to go through:
51-31 dallas
56-26 san antonio
57-25 los angeles

or
potentially:
51-31 GS
59-23 OKC
62-20 SA

just to get to the finals, that path is already harder compared to '07-'08

quote:

Every playoff team had 50 wins.

yeah, okay. Every playoff team has 49 wins this year.

Cumulatively, 07-08's playoff teams were
434-222

This year's playoff teams are:
436-220

So yeah, this year's is better, even slightly since you always want to nitpick.

quote:

The Lakers that season were better than any team they have to face in the West this year.


If they were so great how come they were ranked 4th offensively and 19th defensively? Since you always want cold hard facts.

quote:

How about the fact that dwight doesnt guard Aldridge? Yea i think you might've missed that homie.




Because terrance Jones is even close to a top 5 PF to defend aldridge.

No not outside of SA. They WERE 6 teams within 3 games of the top seed. That's less than 5 games and we aren't excluding any teams. What part of 1 game out of the 6 seed do you not understand?

They coasted the whole season, they were clearly the team to beat entering the playoffs. And no telling what #s you are going with since you didnt use the efficiency #s for the clippers this year.

Dude this is all nonsense. not even worth responding to. this is almost as bad as you comparing the 2 teams by posting the starting front courts ppg and rebound per game #s.
