    My Clippers?

    I like watching them - but I've never been a Clipper fan or anything more than an observer of them. Same concept that I have with Golden State - who has grown up and learned to play some defense which makes them a legit contender in the West.

    It's Golden State right now that looks like they are the biggest threat to San Antonio.

    I know you aren't an actual Clippers fan, but you chose them to sweep Golden State last year and beat the Thunder. Then you called them a contender before this season. OKC is making the playoffs. KD and Westbrook are coming back any day, Westbrook maybe as early as Friday.

    The Thunder are fucked. Highly doubtful those two are just going to jump back in at a championship level. Not to mention KD and Westbrook have struggled finding chemistry before when Westbrook goes full ball hog and it costs them. #MyKings look like they have a legitimate chance at ending their playoff drout, the Suns are much better, the Pelicans are much better...not as many gimme games in the West as last year, which says just how strong it really is.

    By struggle you mean win around 60 games every season? The Thunder are young and haven't won a championship, but they have been a top 3-4 team going on 5 years straight.

    They have made the conference finals 3 of the past 4 years and Westbrook was out the year they didn't make it. I hate the Thunder, but you guys are talking nonsense.

    These are two of the top 5-10 players in the league on a team that has been together for awhile. They are going to be good like they always are.

    Agree about the West, but the Kings are not making it. Cousins is a monster though.

    I think we've hashed this out before, but if you flipped chris paul and westbrook, both teams would benefit. KD needs to get more shots for that team to get over the hump, but Westbrooks aggressive personality will never allow it. Paul would set KD up beautifully.

    Clippers have immense talent, but Griffin is too passive and would benefit from an over the top rim attacker like westbrook.

    I agree individually they are top ten players, but KD needs to be 1 and he's not and that's what holds them back.

    Back to the point, i just don't think they are going to hop back in the mix after so much time off and dominate a tough conference full of teams in mid-season form. That transition is going to be the difference that prevents them from making it.

    I can't wait to re-bump this later in the season. Roaddie you're usually one to have sound logic and not prematurely ejaculate.

    They just beat the fucking Knicks. At home. They win this without Westbrook. He did look good though, i'll give you that.

    It's just a preview of what is going to happen this season. A fully motivated and pissed off Westbrook and Durant will be the best regular season team in the league. Sound logic would be realizing once 2 of the top 6-8 players in the NBA come back, a team is going to take off. Thinking they will struggle is pressing. They won't and will easily make the playoffs barring a huge injury. The premature ejactulaters are the ones who think the Thunder won't make the playoffs.

    To get the 8 seed, they have to beat Phoenix, Sacramento, and New Orleans. I wouldn't be surprised if they passed the Clippers (really overrated) at #7 either.
