Talkin Ball panel says the Clippers are simply just the better overall team.

Clippers are on another level. If we play them totally healthy in the playoffs they would win in 5 or 6.

 

Clips are good but we can beat them.

 

Shocking that BGD would create such a thread after this loss. I am simply shocked.

 

Why? I didn't say it.

 

Eh, CP3 is amazing, what's new. We're still figuring out our rotation. No biggie. Once we get some muscle with Fezzy Fel, we should be all good.

 

*whoosh*

 

I think the Clippers are a bit more talented, and a bit deeper. Certainly not on another level though.

 

Well, let's be real with ourselves: if Paul and Griffin had played in the 1st round last year, we never would have advanced to the 2nd, and it likely would have been over in 5.

To deny this is asinine.

So yeah: they ARE the better team. Oh, I think we can beat them when they're having a slow night, and we play fluid and consistent, like we did against GS last year (Dame's game).

But when they play like this? Nope. Can't beat them. But once we get Ezili suited up, he'll help tremendously.

But there's a possibility he may not suit up at all this season. So I'm not expecting much there.

I miss Henderson, and I'd take him in a heart beat over Turner.

 

Turner is in a major funk, once he finds his role, we should be good. We need some muscle though, hopefully as the season goes, Vonleh can be that tough back up 4.

 

Only 80 games left to find out. Clock is ticking.

 

I think we are a better team in a playoff scenario.

 

Absolutely the clippers are better than us. Cp3 is better than Dame, Blake Griffin is better than CJ, and Deandre Jordan is better than our centers so of course they are

But the clippers are almost done. After this season if they don't do anything AGAIN, then their window is closed imo. Where our window is just beginning

 

Clips starters: -8, -10, -8, -4, -7
They won because our bench was completely overwhelmed. Our bench is very, very good, but it's going to take some time before they are consistent.
The Clippers are NOT better.

 

True because CP3 and or Griffin will be injured again come the playoffs.

 

When they got hurt, we were already on our way to tying the series 2-2. The injury excuse is tired.

 

It's as bad as Trump saying the election is rigged, the best part is the analogy just keeps on giving because both Trump and the Clippers have excuses for all of their failings.

 

Yep. It would have come down game 7 I guess.

I think they are about equal to us but a really bad match up when Griffin and Paul are playing well. Thing is, they are not good enough to win championship and have maximum two more years with current line up. All our key players are tied up for 4-5 years.

 

Half our shooters couldn't make a bucket....if they did, we would've won this game. We have the talent to beat them but Dame and Mo can't win alone.

 

The Clippers won because the one guard lineup isn't working. CJ, Crabbe, Turner, Vonleh, Davis had the worst +/-.
Maybe against some teams this could work but Napier playing between 0-1 minutes on a regular basis, with just two guards and two SFs instead of a SG, this is our biggest weakness.
If we only have Dame and CJ and they play 36 minutes each we'd only have both for half the game. The other half of the game we're playing just one, when CJ is not even a natural PG and with two SFs and we lack ball handling, spacing, passing, creativity.
The solution is to bring another guard, a combo guard or a SG, but until then, give Napier more minutes. Everytime you see a CJ (or Dame), Crabbe, Turner lineup is struggling you take out one of Crabbe or Turner and go smaller.

 

If we are going to win SIXTY games like you say, how many will the Clips win, just curious.
