Not to look past the Clippers or anything, but while enjoying this win, you can't help notice that only two teams in the playoffs are making it look easy. The two teams that beat their opponents 4-0. The two teams scoring at will. The two teams that the media here in LA are acknowledging are at "another level", and neither team is from LA:
The Thunder and the Spurs.
Both offenses are off the charts right now, with multiple stars that can and do score relentlessly. Multidimensional teams that can score from the perimeter, inside, mid-range, open court, you name it.
both teams are able to play very good defense as well, although if Perkins is limited for an extensive period of time, that becomes a big problem for them.
Watching them gang-rape the Lakers, I have to say I am very impressed with their team.
It will be a herculean effort to beat this team, but with home court I like our chances.
I will say they are the one team that is more talented (when factoring in youth and current level of athleticism) comprehensively than the Spurs.
