“Y’all Done Clowning the Clippers?”

[Jedi32]

Yea...that's gonna be a no for me, champ.

Yeah no way you can blow a 3-1 lead in the second round to a lower seeded team while healthy and still be considered top two. I think Denver more than proved they are the better team. I can see the Clippers in the 4/5 range next year.

I’m confused about what losing in game 7 the 2nd round has to do with their chances for next season? So it they won one additional game in the playoffs suddenly their a top 2 seed instead of 4-5? That’s a very poor use of probability and sampling my friend

Miami and the Lakers missed the playoffs last year while Portland made the conference finals, and I didn’t see that helping them compete this current season.

The reason the Clippers are still a contender is because just like this current season, they’re going to have elite talent and solid depth again next season. And those are the most important aspects of winning. Everything else is just noise and the precious seasons playoffs rarely mean anything.

Not a poor use of probability at all. Winning one extra game would not have done much, but last I checked getting to a conference finals is better than losing in a semi conference finals to a lower seed, when you were considered the favorites in the entire league . Also they didn't look that great against a Dallas team missing their second star. Using the Lakers and Miami as examples makes no sense. The Lakers added A.D., the heat added Jimmy butler and Herro blossomed. Who are the Clippers supposedly adding to that team? If they do then I'll have to reconsider, but if they run it back with the same team, then I stand by my statement.

They don’t need to add anyone significant, they are already loaded and were already the favourites to win the title in 2020 but everyone has just forgotten that because they were upset.

I’ll give you another example on how silly your conclusion is here.

The Spurs won 5 titles during the Duncan era, 4 of those titles were won following a season where they lost in the conference semis finals.

Point being, it’s a poor argument.

How can you call anyone's arguments silly when you're posting the foolishness you're posting? Again who on the Clippers is even remotely close to Duncan? Those teams had already won titles. What have the Clippers won? What have they come close to Winning? Is Doc the same quality coach as Pop? Nothing you're posting is making sense. Just admit you don't know what you're taking about and leave it alone. Smh

Hater, I normally agree with you, but after watching that final meltdown--not a mere loss but an absolute surrender--followed yet again by more disruptive, dissension-brewing whispering from Kawhi's camp, I have to say that I can't see this Clips team going anywhere significant ever again without major changes.

Again, it wasn't just that they lost--as you note too, the Spurs lost multiple times before coming back to win it all. No, the issue for me is that this Clips team seems built around knuckleheads who can't stand even each other--the exact opposite of those Duncan-era Spurs teams.

Fair argument but nobody thought the Clips weren’t a contender until they lost game 7. In fact, they were still considered the favourites even over the Lakers. One loss and suddenly half the basketball world has decided the stink. To me, that’s recency bias.

I agree they need to make changes, but as long as Kawhi and PG are there they will be contenders just as most teams with 2 top players contend. And any other changes are relatively minor, they have the 2 most important pieces already in place.

Yeah no way you can blow a 3-1 lead in the second round to a lower seeded team while healthy and still be considered top two. I think Denver more than proved they are the better team. I can see the Clippers in the 4/5 range next year.

depth TBD, Morris/Trez/Green all FA they might have to rely on their youth and Doc never utilizes his young guys

Top teams never struggle to find depth because good players take payouts to play for them. Remember last summer when everyone thought the Lakers were going to be 2 players and a bunch for scrubs? Their depth ended up being pretty good.

And the one thing that people seem to be ignoring here is the Clippers have a very strong management team in place. They aren’t going to make some 76er level mistakes while tweaking the roster around the 2 stars.

Can't wait for the announcement of Lawrence Frank (and Jerry West) as NBA Executive of the Year.

That will be the cherry on top.
