The Clippers are surprisingly all over the place. Everyone seems to be underperforming outside of Griffin.

I never have faith in the Clippers. I don't know what it is, I just feel like they are mentally weak or something. They never live up to expectation.

Agree 100%.

Furthermore, people seem to think a lot of our bench players have low BBIQ, well, have a look at some of the guys on the Clippers bench.

West is wide open right now. From seed number 5 to 13 everything is possible for us after the season.

I figure Houston will make a run at some point that we can not counter...which means we probably need to have a better record than Dallas or Utah to make the playoffs.

The Clippers are in that group of teams that are good, but are never going to win a championship as currently constructed. The Grizzlies, Hawks and Bulls are a bit the same.

Phoenix and Denver lose. Too bad Houston came back. Now Pacers need to beat Clippers. 8th right now

Wolves need to string wins during Gobert's absence to nab NW's 2nd spot

Count on Houston and the Clips making it. 2 spots for Mavs, Wolves, Suns, Kings, Jazz, and Suns. Maybe Pellies too.



I doubt we'll make it though, our coaching is too weak to be a legit team right now.

Despite losing two in a row, we're still sitting in the 8th spot with the potential to move up with the Jazz' best defensive player (Gobert) out with injury. It sucks because Gobert is one of my favorite players in the L, but we've had our share of bad luck with that too and it's part of the game.
