Maybe you're right about GSW, but as a Clippers fan, I know I don't want to see them in the first round. They seem to have our number this season.

Not this year, if they stay where they are, they'll play Golden State or Memphis.
Denver will beat those teams in the first round. Golden State won't have a shot and this new Memphis Grizzlies team without Rudy Gay will get ran out the gym. Denver matches up perfectly with Grizzlies.

Golden State isnt fools gold, there the real deal and exactly where they should be. A middle of the pack team in the West. Fools Gold would be the Clippers. Everyones talking about Clippers this and Clippers that, Clippers are going to the NBA Finals or even the WCF for that matter. If they meet up with either OKC ro San Antonio in the second round thats the end of the end of the line for them. Best team in the west yeah ok.....

Golden State becomes legit if Bogut can play 30+ minutes and produces how he did in Milwaukee. His defense changes everything for them.

I agree, just because those are 2 GREAT teams, but you can never discount CP3 in the playoffs, hopefully he is completely healthy!

Nah I agree, but will Duncan be ready for the playoffs? That could be a huge x factor

Earlier this season I would have given us more of a chance, but the way we've been playing lately, a 2nd round exit sounds about right. But there's still a lot of season left, so maybe the Clips will hit another stride going into the playoffs.

I don't doubt Chris Paul, so if he's healthy come playoffs, I think he can take them far. But, I think they lose in a competitive 2nd round or quickly in the Conference Finals. Give them another year, Spurs get a year older, and then I think they've got a good chance of going all the way.
This year, I don't think there's anything stopping a Lebron and Durant rematch.
(Other than the Knicks, of course).

I feel like the Warriors can take the Clippers in a potential 1st round matchup.

How do you guys like the Spurs chances with Duncan hurt? I dont doubt Pop as a coach, but come playoff time you need your difference makers on the court

Clippers can play solid defense though. Their man problems are working in a half-court offense and the limitations of Deandre Jordan.
Like the Knicks, a lot of things need to go right in terms of playoff seeding for the Clippers to go far.

It's still early, once pop knows they got 1 or 2 seed expect him to rest his players FINES or NOT....it's pop.

Even if they were healthy, I didn't have them coming out of the West anyway. They'll be a very great regular season team, but they've been a great regular season team the last few years and didn't make it out. I don't see them beating OKC in 7 games.

I know they can and would if they met up first round. Clippers want no part of any of the top seeded teams, they will lose.
He will be healthy come playoff time and if not then I still like our chances to go to the WCF at least. Our Depth is our strength and players like Tiago and Danny Green have stepped up in Timmys absence and will continue to do so.
We'll see.

Lol, no one ever seems to mention this. But I do think a healthy billups gettin a good bit of pt will help them out greatly in the playoffsbeen out of the first round 1nce.

I don't really know how much a healthy Billups would even help at this point.
