They can beat anybody when they are hitting their shots. It's just a matter of how many cold games are they going to have in a 7 game series. Right now they are rolling and but they are going to live and die by the 3 in the playoffs. Last nights game looked very similar to the one against the Pelicans last week.

No one wants the Rockets in their draw just like the Celtics.
Stevens is the best coach in the game right now.
Imagine what Cleveland could be with Stevens calling the shots.

I've said this on here before, but I could see us making a championship run like the 2011 Mavs. That team was just scorching teams with the three ball.

You can say that for just about every top team in the NBA today.

First off, the Clippers are astronomically overrated, so that W last night proved nothing. I proclaimed Monday that Houston is the second best team in the West and I'll stand by it. They matchup perfectly against GSW. They have the firepower outside and will outrebound them with the Capela/Nene'/Harrell trio.

Will they beat GSW? That remains to be seen, but imo they have the best chance

It's 2017, and people are STILL overlooking the Spurs.

Will we ever learn?

Clippers are still damn good when healthy. They will be right for the playoffs. Gonna have a tough matchup w Utah more than likely at the 4-5 matchup.

From 1-5 the Clippers are a pretty good team, but they don't have the bench to compete with the top 4 in the West, including Utah

Not at all. The Spurs are absolutely in the conversation, but I personally feel like they don't have the shooting to hang with Houston. That's why I've got them a notch ahead of them.

Crawford, Felton, Speights, even Austin Rivers is shooting ~40% from 3 this year.

Spurs haven't beat a good team in the playoffs with their current roster makeup. And people still act like this is the same team being lead by Timmy , manu , and tony.

If they play this hard in the playoffs, WCF is a strong possibility.
If KD is at full strength, it's definitely not a strong possibility.

It's a long shot.

If they end up the 3 seed, they wouldn't play Golden State until the WCF.
