Clarkson -25, the man just does not play defense at all. Ready to completely move on from our non Rudy/Mitchell players.

The Clippers are back! If the rumors Bill Simmons was talking about are true and Kawhi’s gonna be back for the first round of the playoffs, they’re legit contenders. They could honestly be the second best team in the West!

They'll be facing Phoenix, and will likely have Kawhi back too by the sounds of it. Wild.

PH must’ve been game ready for a week or so going by that performance, me thinks.

the Clips will beat the 7th seed if George plays like this.

lol there's 6 games left. They are locked into 8 and playing Phoenix (they aren't losing the play and neither will whoever is the 7).

Congrats on the 1 seed! lol

edit: corrected on play in format. ut oh Memphis...

do you know how the play in works? 7 plays 8 and the winner faces the 2nd seed. loser plays the winner of 9/10. you just said they will win their play in game.

Oh I'm thinking of it wrong if that's the case. I thought the 7 plays the 10 and the 8 plays the 9. Sucks to be Memphis then. I would actually LOVE if they got humbled in the first round.

7th ses like the way to go for them. memphis is inexperienced and then there are the mavs, whom the Clips beat last two years. i dont think the Clippers want to have to go through both phoenix and golden state for the WCF.

Where are you guys getting the Kawhi news? Kawhi is not one to rush back from injury...

Just Bill Simmons shooting the ****?

Seeds 3-6 are still a complete toss up. I expect the Warriors to fall to 5th or 6th.

I've seen Ohm post about it as well (ESPN's LAC reporter). And Simmons wasn't shooting the ****, he has plenty of sources inside the Clippers arena (he was a longtime season ticket holder), and they were hinting that if they win the play-in, that would be a green light for him (i assume the same source that told him PG was going to play in the coming days... which wasn't yet public but correct). Norm Powell could also potentially return. They could get very scary very quick.

i think warriors fall to 5th, but right now i think i worry more about Clippers even with just PG than warriors. they brought in George seemlessly and whi knows when the warriors will truly be 100%.

He does have some legit sources in the league. He also lives in LA and was a season ticket holder for the Clippers for a long time. He probably has even more sources within that particular team. He basically said he heard from people within the team that they think Kawhi’s gonna be back for Round 1. Obviously it’s far from a certainty and anything could happen, but it makes sense. Of course I have $250 on the Clippers to win the West at 40:1 so I want to believe. :D
