Eye test and looking at stuff like net rating tells us they are easily better than the Spurs. The Spurs will probably finish with a better record because nobody beats up on the bad teams like the Spurs do. If those teams face off in the playoffs I can just about guarantee LAC would take them out...

Boom, I think the Clippers have a better roster than the Spurs. But Popovich is about ten times the coach that Rivers is. And that's the difference.

Last time they faced off in the postseason rivers outcoached him. Since then LAC has gotten better and the Spurs have gotten worse. Let's not forget Pop being out coached by billy Donovan last year in the postseason. The players aren't the only ones in SAS who are past their prime j/s.

does the regular season matter this year, or nah


there are a lot of teams you don't want to face in round one.

the better Houston does, the easier the road to Cleveland is going to be.

I would think Memphis, W's, Clips, SA, are the least desirable first round outcomes.

I think that means get the 3rd seed. I figure Memphis, W's,Clips and SA are in the top 5 with Houston. 4/5 vs Memphis would be a bad idea.

I can't take the cry baby arse Clippers serious though. I spend more time trying to follow the melts by Doc and CP3.

They just lost 2 to the Pacers. I don't think we can gaurentee much about the Clippers especially with their ability to choke.

SAS lost to Orlando. At home. You can pick out one or two games for any team. LAC at their best with A+ effort is too much for Spurs to handle. no doubt ab it IMO.

Not sure why anyone would be obsessed. The Pelicans don't really hit anyone's radar.

Nope. One of the absolute worst run franchises in all Of pro sports.
