Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

if the clips can get the blazers or mavs in the first round they could get some momentum and be really dangerous. their point differential is 2nd the league and they have the league's best half-court offense

REG'LAR SEASON THO

portland and clips would've been a great series w/ wes, prob not w/o him

every team shits the bed in the playoffs until the year that they don't

like, clips beating a wes-less portland would not surprise me, then theyd play gsw and get hosed, i really dot buy them as a title team until chris paul gets his head right for playoffs

except nah. difference b/w losing and shitting the bed. some teams/players play up or beyond their expectations and still lose. some play below and lose for it. thats CP3 in the playoffs his whole damn life.

i wouldn't be like SHOCKED if portland beat the clips in rd 1 honestly. lamarcus has had a lot of big games against blake and certain teams seem to get up to play LAC b/c they are bad and hated

its a good ass team, dont get me wrong, no easy out or anything, i just dont think adding austin rivers and spencer nawes and another year wiser is gonna bring them to the brink of nba titular glory amen

the clips are full of holes tho. the friggin celtics were down 40 to them today and the final deficit ended up being 13, if the celtics can fight back from that and make a serious enough dent, any team in the west could do that and win

this is outrageous slander cp3 is 20-10-5 on 48% shooting for his playoff career, ask yrself how many of the playoff series his teams lost were they the favorite

because the clippers took all their starts out cmon xp

blake griffin has t-rex arms and dj cant shoot free throws, matt barnes is a headcase, doc rivers traded for his lousy son, spencer haws prolly still mad about mitt romney, cp3 is a bed-shitter, jj reddick went to duke and fuck that

i mean what more of an argument do u rly need

pfft, thats not that good

man what have i told you nerds about bringing stats into a shit-talking thread the hellllllll

their bench is atrocious but benches matter less in the playoffs and they have the best offense in the league. i have faith

i was at this game and the clips took their starters out when it was a 25-30 pt game

i am glad lagoon will always be with me in the cp3 = all-time great argument

playoffs are also the time when cp3's brain tends to break in half see exhibit A game 5 western conf semifinals

^^^

and thats exactly how many exhibits u have

they can probably get as far as the conference finals but whoever they see there barring glorious flukes is bound to drink their milkshake

xp that's all i need, friend

*kicks chanclas off and relaxes on chaisse lounge*

cp3 and/or blake cld easily go off in the playoffs and change the whole formula

like i wldnt bet on them but counting them out totally is silly

well yeah eventually they're gonna run into the warriors, one of the best (regular-season) teams ever xxxp

you can shit in one hand and wait for cp3 and blake to go off in the other and see which one fills up faster, pal

I mean did his brain break in spectacular fashion necessarily in past clips playoff losses, maybe not, but his team still lost regardless and that doesn't make cp3 any less great as a player shit just doesn't go their way and I don't predict this postseason to be any different

counting ppl out is one of life's great time savers, it allows you to focus on 4 things (like the number of nba teams with actual chances of winning) as opposed to like 12 things (well, maybe if kevin durant and ibaka take a lot of drugs they can get back in there and stir up the western conference...)

OKC should fire their juice supplier bc he's only paying attention to russ & not everyone else

i bet if u check his records at the juice college, his senior thesis is "like, what would happen if you put all your juice into ONE dude?: theoretical and empirical models of team juice distribution"

haha

what are the chances of bogut making it to the finals with all his cartilage and ligaments intact?

That's all I think about all day every day

let me remind you that when you google "bogut" the first suggested search is "bogut injury"

he's been fine since he last came back, I would hope/assume that kerr rests him for at least a few of the remaining reg season games

i am glad lagoon will always be with me in the cp3 = all-time great argument

Yes this is almost always how comebacks from deficits this large happen, often against teams with awful bench players like LA's.

every team shits the bed in the playoffs until the year that they don't

Come on, man

If the clippers did anything to improve their talent base I'd be interested but they are going in the opposite direction. Also if you root for them you should be ashamed of yourself.

it's true that depth matters less in the playoffs but i think the fact that jj redick is their best wing player is going to burn the clippers in the first two rounds.

the supporting cast doc has assembled is borderline criminal, he started out with cp3-blake-dre-bledsoe and just failed at putting anyone around them, its very sad actually

imagine if they had hired JVG instead of trading a first round pick for doc

the clippers could make the finals

wld love to see cp3 n blake go ham this playoffs / am now a clippers fan just to spite all the h8rs itt

you guys are slanting the odds way too heavily in favor of the best teams in the west imo

hollinger's odds have clippers as a more likely west finals participant than the spurs btw

yeah i feel like the spurs have been doing their thing playing well recently but theres a lot of time all sorts of things can happen

houston could win two rounds too

lotta good teams out west

only one i feel like has a real advantage is DUBS tbh
