Remember when Steve Nash made the WCF with a team of Shawn Marion, Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa, Tim Thomas, Boris Diaw and James Jones?

What point are you trying to make? Durant and Westbrook weren't in the league and Nash flourished under a system that even made Raymond Felton better. Chris Paul probably could've carried that team to the WCF as well because he's a better defender than Nash. Hell, this Clippers squad probably would've washed that Suns team but hey I guess we'll never know :lol
 
I said at the beginning of the season that this is not a championship team. You are not winning a chip with Barnes as your starting 3, Blake taking stupid jumpers, a center who can't hit free throws and Glen Davis breathing heavy once he starts jogging.

Chris Paul is still a great PG and everyone has the right to bash him for his hiccups and other mistakes,but this was NOT a championship team since day ONE

mos def ,,,,

clippers cant even make it to the conference finals. they will be first or second round outs for years. 
 
Russell Westbrook is a 2 guard playing the point guard decision.



He only plays PG so he can shoot the ball whenever he wants..


If Brooks had a brain he would've moved Westbrook to the 2, 2 seasons ago..
 
Lol it makes sense why he missed all those gms I don't think he was hurt they was really resting him. Yes I was in the wrong and I'm sure since you a Heat fan you had to be worried to some degree. Clearly he's healthy Wade at 80% and Lebron can't nobody in the League beat them FACT!
of course I was worried. But wade had already said he felt 100 times better then he did last post season and he still had some big games then. I knew he'd be alright. He was average last series tho other then game 5. I wanna see that game 5 wade this whole series against Indy not the half *** it down the court wade

I think he's bound to have atleast one gm like that unless Lance ruffles some feathers
 
 
this was really a no excuse yr for the clips and they failed. they had enough pieces to win the whole chip. just failed. F grade in my book

Sorry but I dont buy this for one second.  Not a championship caliber team?
  • Supposed best point guard on the planet and NBA superstar
  • Top 3 PF in the NBA (or top 5 if you want to be modest)
  • Top 3 defensive Center in the NBA
  • 6th Man of the Year
  • Deepest Bench in the NBA
  • Championship caliber head coach
So in spite of the "holes" you are talking about, how is this not a Championship quality team?  The excuses you just made for the Clippers are ridiculous.
 
This "True PG" thing needs to stop. Not only is that something that you cant really label, the NBA is becoming positionless more and more as the years go by.

What is a True PG? Is Tony Parker one? Who is one?
this. players are more defined by their roles rather than the traditional positions that we are accustomed to.

imo of course
 
chill, blake is becoming money from midrange

C'mon son....we've ALL seen Blake take 3s and senseless jumpers at the wrong time....his jumpers from the elbow have improved dramatically just like u pointed out :hat
 
And now suddenly The clippers have become a team bested with Hof'ers in the matter of one season.... just last season i remember people arguing that David Lee was better than Blake Griffin and having a discussion, Deandre Jordan was barely playing 4th quarters last year and now he's Bill Russell on the block...

His second best players are respectively 25 & 24 years old and are JUST filling out their potential, how exactly was this team the favorite over teams that have two players in the top 10 and a core that is already playoff vets & a team that was a rebound away from winning the championship?

and once again i ask if you have a capable team & are supposed to be the "best" how do people claim Lebron was the best since 08-09 when he went to the most important games of his life and had a nervous ****** brakedown?

I didn't hear anyone wanting to revoke his MVP for putting up 17 a game on 45% shooting? where was this demand that he can't be the best in the game then.... i NEED answers
 
Only reason I think Russ should not be playing PG is because it gives him the opportunity to take so many dumb shots.
 
 it doesnt matter. 

It does matter because they'll never win a ring with Westbrook running point.

Your true pg boy will never win a ring without getting passed the 2nd rd though, and when he keeps getting murderalized by his peers at his position head to head.

How old are Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Serge Ibaka? No excuse.

Parker doesn't stand a chance checking Westbrook hamstring or NOT. Spurs Kryptonite is Russ!!!
Reggie Jackson's #s against them this yr, does the same thing Harden used to do. Granted he started at least 1 of those games with Harden out

Too much logic and reason in this post. Take it somewhere else.
 
and what happens to the default "Best PG" when Russ DESTROYS him this round... or will they move him off and have him guarding Jackson or Sefolosha?
