Embarrassing that Memphis lost that series

Clips survived.

Memphis were 1 hit wonders.

Their best player was hurt the majority of a shortened season. I imagine they will make some moves though

You really want a franchise to bank on Zach carrying them season after season? They wont come close to a title with the Thunder and Clippers to dominate the West for years to come.

Why in the world would the Clippers be dominating the West?

I was wondering the same exact thing lol.

Because in their first season together they got the 4th seed. If Billups didn't get injured they would've been top 3 for sure. Paul and Griffin are both still young and will get even better together. They also have a crap coach, just wait until they get a good one.

You guys are crazy if you don't think the Clippers will be the best in the West soon.

They will be the top 2 with the Bulls and Heat in the East.

It's a major issue in the NBA today. Rubbed off on the entire league. Everyone trying to sell the foul.

It's becoming like soccer.

Damn Europeans bringing flopping to America.

Well those Americans sure caught on. Flopping is getting out of control in the NBA. It's no longer just the teams with European players. CP3 has mastered the flop.

With a huge roster overhaul maybe lol

You realize their entire offense is Paul having to get shots for every single player on the team because they can't do it themselves right?

Griffin is what he is. The guy has no offensive game other than uncontested drives off pick and rolls. Zero jumper

Chauncey is 150 years old and they are playing Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans monster minutes in the playoffs. They need serious help

They are still better than every team in the West bar Spurs and Thunder when fully healthy.

Poor James hasn't been the same since the elbow from Ron Ron.

The Lakers will be better than the Clippers still for the next couple years atleast. Kobe isn't showing any signs of not having another 3-4 years left as a great player

With no Billups and all the other things I've already stated the Clippers still finished only 1 game behind the Lakers. Unless the Lakers do another trade to improve next season then the Clippers will finish ahead of them.

The Lakers were supposed to be one of the teams most affected by the shortened schedule and they still finished ahead of them. I wouldn't even say they had a great season either, they sucked ass on the road for pretty much the entire first half of the season. They also had to play Derek Fisher for a pretty long time

I just don't have any faith in Gasol anymore. Also can Bynum and Kobe co-exist for another season?

If Kobe and Shaq coul;d have then Kobe and Bynum can.

Not really. First there is no Phil Jackson and secondly, Bynum ain't that bright.
