Now that they have had time to mesh (since no training camp) , they are putting on display how good and dominate they are and will be. No team has had 4 hof talents COMBINED with young talents like Mann , Primo, Bones PLUS quality depth like Theiss, Norman , Zubac. They brushed the defending champions the other day with ease. I expect them to roll to a championship as they are the most complete team ever assembled with no glaring weakness.

well over the hill stars and overrated young players. Is it even top 5 in the NBA today let alone greatest all time?

If it was 2017

Well Jokic shot 9/32, which is probably his worst shooting night in many years if you're factoring in volume.

Also many other teams have beaten the 'defedning champs' this year. Not like that's an argument on its own.

As Mexicans would say - El Terrriblé take (or something like that)

Ah yes, the yearly take of the Clippers having the best roster since 2019. Only for them to disappoint or Kawhi injuring himself in the playoffs again.

I think even some Clippers fans have been humbled enough at this point to shut the hell up and let the players play this time before declaring being the best at anything.

Let’s play a game. Who wins in their prime?


2003-4 Lakers vs 2023-4 Clippers


Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Malone, HGrant
vs
Kawhi, PG13, Westbrook, JHarden

It's been a while

If there ever was a kiss of death basketball thread, this is it.

At this point, no one doesnt even need to get injured. Unless some of these farts really saving another gear, they just not that great anymore. They are just names. PG is their best player now. Is he great #1 in this landscape. Not really. Is Kawhi good #2, I guess. Is Harden good #3? This season its just a laughable question from me. This team is washed, this is the same statements people had when Knicks got Amare. Wow, Carmelo and Amare, certified "SUPERTEAM".

I don’t get it.

Can someone explain the joke to me please?

Got any receipts on Clippers fans declaring being the best?

Russell, Cousy, Sharman, Heinsohn, Sam Jones, KC Jones, Ramsey et al. wave Hi! E.g., Cousy, Russell and Sharman made All-NBA 1st or 2nd team a year before Cousy, Russell and Heinsohn did. The Joneses were already on the roster then.

Luka single handedly will clap their cheeks

Clips could have the best roster in this league if they played at their capacity, but so far, they have much to prove. I do like the trend though. Tonight’s game was high chemistry with Kawhi scoring 40+. If one of the stars can score 30 or more each game, the Clips will be serious contenders. As for all-time, they are only the best if you ignore time and pretend they are all in their primes.

Still the 2016 for me
Prime Blake, DeAndre, CP3, Redick, Crawford, Uncle Jeff and Pablo Prigioni.

Imagine not knowing about the timberwolves 2013 roster before making a thread like this. Embarrassing, Pekovic could deadlift your starting 5

They have started to look a bit like the team they were pre Harden.
