Clips could be a tough out now
They were a tough out without PG and Kawhi. Them boys are dawgs
them boys cold
slush puppies
Timberwolves will be annoying as well. They play hard and Pat Bev seems to injure ~1 star player/playoff series.
Whats the O/U Pat Bev injuring?
Who was the last player he injured?
broke Booker's nose, also could've injured cp3 with the push in the back
You already know Kawhi's gonna run out healthy as fuck all of a sudden if they go far enough to go against the Mavs.
fucking pls no
Praying PG comes back to give Utah their 5th L in a row
Same. But only cause I want chaos in the off-season
God imagine being either Phoenix or Memphis and having an extraordinary season and then playing the Clippers first round
West is tough, what are you gonna do. Not super excited to see Minnesota either. Top 8 teams are all very solid
Both conferences are tough. Solid depth team wise across the league. Might actually be an interesting 1st round across the board rather than at least 2 guaranteed sweeps
I think these are going to be the most interesting playoffs in a while. Last year started really strong but injuries kind of ruined it.
Gotta beat everyone in front of you in the end, but yeah I'd much prefer clippers get that 7th seed. Timberwolves are a good team that will bring fight, but the Clippers with the potential of a surprise Kawhi are fucking terrifying.
Said the same thing about the Lakers last year
Bring them on. Because as soon as the Suns win that series people are going to make excuses that it wasn’t the real Clippers team or some shit. Nah. I want everybody to hype them up as the favorites to make it out the west. Bring back Kawhi too for good measure. We’ll see how that plays out.
Such a victim complex
Why? Because I’ve seen everybody say that Clippers would have won last year if they had Kawhi? And this year it’ll be more of the same?

I don’t think we will ever be a “favorite” this year.
We’re comin, get ready
I’m also afraid of this, i remember everyone hyping up the 2019 squad after PG and Kawhi joined only for us to choke another 3-1 lead.
i get why the org is blaming Doc/Trezz, but i’m also convinced that this team is cursed in general lmao
You don't seriously believe in curses tho.
Run that bubble choke team with Lue and they probably win. Also that was the worst Clippers roster of the PG/Kawhi era. Last year and this year's roster are a massive upgrade. Now just to get everyone healthy...
Blazers fans have become very big Clips fans since the trade deadline. Either y'all or Minnesota have to shut that damn door on the Pelicans making the playoffs.
God I miss watching a healthy PG13. about time
Fuck it, bring on Mavs-Clippers pt. 3
Careful what you wish for.
I hated the 1st round these 2 years.
If i was a heart patient or suffered from high blood pressure I would have for sure been in the hospital.
As a Clipper fan no thank you lol
Such a good series.
I feel queasy.
The meme that everyone is going to suddenly waltz in healthy right before the playoffs is going to happen, isn't it...
Jazz going to the play in. Clippers 6.
Healthy Clippers wipes the whole league
Nah, we will give any team a tough challenge, but we struggle against dominate big guys. Jokic, Embiid, and Giannis will be huge (pun intended) problems for us and could be our downfall.
They could beat Timberwolves in play in, and will face the grizzles first round, and win that to
I don’t think they beat Memphis but they’re absolutely throttling Minnesota.
Clippers are meant for the playoffs, they got both Playoff P and Playoff Powell
I must say, the play-in game for Clippers have become pretty important, vital even, if they want a title shot in any way.
If they get the 7th seed, they will have relatively easy path to WCF, Memphis in the 1st Rd, potentially Mavs (or Nuggets even) in 2nd Rd in Steph's absence.
Considering PG led Clippers did well early on and with the additions of Powell and Covington, this looks like their only hope for a title shot this year. Because they are not beating a healthy Suns or GSW without Kawhi. And Kawhi can potentially come back by the WCF's, which is around May.
This playoffs are bound to be fucking crazy.
Thats not an easy path tbh.
I literally highlighted as relatively. You won't get any easier path to a CF than that as the 7th seed.
Whoever has to play them is gonna hate it lol.
Scary hours
these jagoffs are gonna lose the first play-in game and play the suns aren't they
Excited to see final 8 in both conferences after the play in ends.
Minnesota is going to need a miracle to beat that Clippers team in the play-in
No seed is safe, tough outs all over.
League is so talented nowadays
Seriously. Feels like there’s 6 teams in each conference who deserve to make the second round
This is so much better than knowing the warriors gonna win it every year
Not a result of there being so much talent, rather there is a more even distribution. Current NBA meta is to have 2 all-stars + quality team instead of what happened for most of the 2010s (which is to congregate 3 all stars onto a team in order to contend)

This why nets trading for harden was so dumb
Wrong lol. the nets with 1.5 of their big 3 took the champs to OT game 7.. it’s revisionist history to say that the nets getting harden was a “dumb move” when the team was incredible before vaccine stuff came out
This is what we wanted when we said, "We want parity"
Hope Jamal comes back too
