    We have a 95% chance of facing the Clippers in round 1.

    What will happen to the Clippers if we somehow win a series with them?

    That'll be 5 years of the CP3, DeAndre, and Griffin trio with two first round exits and never getting past the second round.

    It'll be a team that won 56 games with Vinny Del Negro coaching; then 56, 57 and 50-54 this season under Glen Rivers.

    Will they break the team up? I think they might.

    We can break the Clippers!

    Clippers are already broken. They were built to challenge for a title and won't even get close.

    Having said that, I don't think we can really impact their future because their players are spread in age. No way they get rid of Jordan and I can't see Blake leaving unless they trade him--and I'm not sure he has as much value as some think given the team's success without him. Also, Paul will likely retire a Clip.

    If I were GM, I would see if I could trade Paul and Griffin and do a quick rebuild around Jordan.

    I must say I have mixed emotions about facing the Clips. Beating OKC would be more satisfying, and losing to them would be less disappointing. Facing the Clips we are still clear underdogs - and who wants to lose to those douche-bags? OTOH, we do have a (slightly) better chance of winning.

    I would look to trade Paul for Irving & Griffin for Durant (S&T)

    He's not a doctor. He's not a dwarf. He doesn't deserve a nickname.

    His momma name him Glenn, I'ma call him Glenn.

    Yet Bunker failed this morning to refer to him as Glenn during their interview with Stotts. It was a sad instance of completely wussing out. CJ then proceeded to tell Bunker how disappointed he was with him 1/2 hour later.

    Good times.
