Are the Clippers a real contender?

[Clippersfan86]

Always the Lakers fans showing the insecure hate.... LOL. Clips are for real -- way deeper than the Lakeshow.

The best is him calling Crawford a bust when dude is now averaging 20 ppg off the bench in like 25 minutes on great efficiency. Great bump though

[xxplayerxx23]

Yes for sure, Griffin isn't 100% and they are still playing well.

[Gritz]

lolno

[Clippersfan86]

Wonder if Bill Simmons still predicts no playoffs with his 45 wins at best, bold prediction?? He shredded the bench additions but the Clippers have been the best bench in the NBA this year and are still short players.

[Ch0ZSeN1]

No... Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford are there best players.

[xxplayerxx23]

For those that say No explain why? Paul can take over series, he has a deep bench and Griffin is a solid Number 2 option.

[JasonJohnHorn]

I mean, seriously, why did they trade Kaman for CP3? You never trade big for small! They would be dominating the NBA if they had Kaman playing next to Griffen! Not to mention they threw in Eric Gordon for CP3 who is injury prone. Like, wtf?

Seriously though, yeah, they have the personal to win it all. CP3 is the most valuable player in the league though. It all hinges on him and his health.

No... Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford are there best players.

Jamal is the most gifted scorer on the team but FAR from the best all around player. The top 4 all around Clippers players are..

1. CP3
2. Griffin
3. DeAndre
4. Bledsoe

I disagree, Id say
Cp3
Griffin
Crawford
Jordan

I think Crawford is a brilliant fit and a great signing but Bledsoe can dominate the game defensively, on the boards, with passing AND still give you 15 points any given night. Crawford may score 25 and hit clutch shots but won't do much else which is why as an overall impact I got Bledsoe higher. I respect your opinion though man.

I am huge Crawford fan so I'm biased to be honest lol. I love the way he can score. You watch the clippers a lot more then I do so you are prob right, but the homer for Crawford in me has come out

[SportsAndrew25]

The talent is certainly there, so I would say yes.

[Raps08-09 Champ]

Yea, but they are near the back end of the group we call contenders.

I'm a Bledsoe homer so we might both be homering it up. Either way this team is dangerous as hell. Can't wait to get Billups and Hill back. People seem to forget we have been starting Willie Green to do this damage.

Just wondering... who do you think has been better than the Clippers so far? I'm not saying who has better record but rather who has been more convincingly good outside of maybe Miami and the Spurs? OKC, Lakers, Grizzlies, Celtics etc have all looked weaker than the Clippers so far.

Edit: Knicks have been very good too, forgot them.
