[Dex]

Will the Pistons ever get out of rebuilding mode? They've been dogshit since like 08.

[Dex]

Wizards/Pacers on ESPN? :lmao Talk about a snoozefest.

[Malik Hairston]

How do you get out of rebuilding when you have Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings on your roster?:lol..

[DPG21920]

Damn, the Suns completely cucked The Dragon.

[jimbo]

These Suns rosters just look like a joke from reading the box scores. Instead of a 2 PG starting lineup, a 3 PF lineup...

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs

[jimbo]

Getting lit up by Wiz Khalifa :lol

Bailed out by the refs :lol

Spurs :lol

[jimbo]

or rather Enrique :lol

[Robz4000]

Atlanta couldn't hit earlier, now they make whatever they throw up

[DPG21920]

IMO, if I am the Pacers or the Knicks, I am trying hard to trade for Dragic. I would offer a first round pick easily plus whatever little players make the deal work.

[DPG21920]

Kings could make a lot of sense as a trade partner with PHX for Dragic. They have FC players and need a PG bad.

[Robz4000]

My God

[dirk4mvp]

lol Hibbert for 3 for the win

[Reck]

Damn, Hilbert is a fucking M-O-R-O-N

[Reck]

Warriors emptying their load prematurely. Celebrating like they're prime for the Finals and some shit. :lol

[Xylus]

Damn, the Suns completely cucked The Dragon.

Dragic is noticeably 2 steps slower this season. Suns advised him not to play for Slovenia this summer because he needed the rest, he went and did it anyway, and now he's playing like shit. Looks winded after every play.

[Robz4000]

I'll take the W, but this team needs to stop with the coasting.

I turst that's some of it, but I really think that it's an empowered Bledsoe who is ball dominant and IT3 cutting into the usuage. He looks off. If I'm NY, SAC or INDY I am pushing HARD to trade for Goran.

[Xylus]

That's what you want to think, but Dragic hasn't earned his minutes. He's been a liability in every game this season. Can't find space to get open because he's too slow, can't hit the open jumpers he does get, can't stay with his man on defense a lot of the time. He seriously looks like shit.

[Malik Hairston]

^^ Dragic looks like TP last year, tbh..

The casual fan and media didn't mention it because the Spurs' won the title, but Tony looked horrendous all year(by his standards), he looked very slow, forcing Pop to rest him for a few weeks during the regular season..that was due to a full year of NBA ball + playing for France in the Summer..

Dragic looks like he has lost explosiveness/speed, too..

Well then, with the huge contract for Bledsoe and signing IT3, Suns should be looking to move him then, no? Especially because he can opt out and be a FA. Suns need help in the FC and if they can get a draft pick, plus some FC help, makes sense.

I don't know. What do you do with a player who's played very well for you in the past, is clearly really tired out this season, and is heading into contract negotiations?

Well, before they saw Dragic, they brought in IT3 so that might tell you a little of where their heads were at. Unless it was just insurance in case of Bledsoe bolting which would be pretty pricey insurance.

[D-Wade]

Clips look mediocre to start the season. I thought given all that happened last year, they'd be be out of the gates fast.

[RD2191]

Are the Grizz the 2nd best team in the west? Tbh.

[ElNono]

Kyrie Irving = garbage... Vaginao = garbage... Love = too busy shooting 3s...

I might have to agree. It's crazy how underrated they are by the media. They've arguably been the 3rd most successful team out west the past 3-4 seasons. Clips/Dubs/Blazers with all the undeserved hype, imo.

They don't have a chance of winning a title, tbh, their style of play and lack of perimeter talent limits their ceiling, so there's nothing for the media to get excited about..

Him and Splitter should never hang out. They'd probably die in a horrible freak accident.

Mavs our biggest obstacle imo. Possible 7 game series with them if they meet up healthy in the playoffs.

Doris Burke, Jalen Rose, and Avery Johnson are your halftime analysts

That's like the basketball version of huffing paint

I'd be surprised if it went six. Spurs didn't come into that series last year ready for playoff basketball. Thankfully it was Dallas to wake them up and they didn't sleepwalk into the WCF.

They're a formidable opponent when Bogut is healthy. What sucks for them though is that Kawhi/Green are the best Curry/Klay defenders in the league.

[Venti Quattro]

Refs cheating for the Clippers. Holy shit

The Warriors are contenders, I'm convinced. They were already a top 5 defense last year and now with Kerr they'll be at least a top 10 offense.

Don't see it. Spurs/OKC when healthy. I'd take the Grizz over them. And it's a toss up against teams like the Rockets/Blazers/Clippers. Not to mention them running into a vet Mavs team. They could fluke they're way to the WCF but I don't see them as true contenders.

This team is a fucking dumpster fire from top to bottom. I'm actually mad they didn't lose by 40, because that might have forced significant changes. Instead, the garbage time stat-padding is only going to breed complacency.

Mike Woodson needs to go immediately. He has completely ruined the offense with the same iso crap that got him fired in ATL and NY. He is also now ruining Blake by trying to turn him into Carmelo instead of letting him use his face-up game and the other tools that made him a legitimate MVP candidate last year. He should have never been hired in the first place. Frank also needs to go for making the defense worse.

We need to hire an actual general manager and let Doc focus on coaching. We've lost too many trades, wasted too many picks, and made too many bad signings, and it's all added up. For all the talk about "monkeyball," this has to be the least athletic roster in the league outside of Blake and DJ. We have too many so-called "shooters" who can't shoot and the worst small forward rotation in the league.

Blake needs to get back to crashing the boards like he did in his rookie year. One rebound isn't cutting it.

Choke needs to pack his shit and leave. He is the second coming of 2002 Andre Miller at this point, mailing it in for the paycheck and not putting in any effort except when he can pad stats in garbage time. He was abysmal in the first half. And of course, it wouldn't be the typical embarrassing loss without Choke doing his typical flopping like a true career-loser bitch.

Hawes is a timid waste of money that should have gone to a legitimate small forward.

This team needs to put the distractions away. Stop parading around in commercials and TV shows until you've actually won something in this league. I used to be annoyed by how much hate this team gets, but really, I'd hate this team too if I wasn't a fan. Too much arrogance and self-promotion for a team that has never been past the second round.

Overall, this team will be a 6-8 seed and a first-round exit... basically a waste of everyone's time. Thankfully, we now have the advantage of the richest owner in sports as well as the second-biggest media market... but the window has closed on this particular core. We need to rebuild around Blake, the right way this time.

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao CN melting down after every game

It's not a meltdown, it's simply stating facts. I've been pretty consistent in pointing out that this team blows regardless of wins or losses - and frankly, I noticed most of these flaws in preseason but didn't say anything because I was waiting to see if those problems would last into the regular season, which they have. I'm sure they'll have winning streaks and great games at some point in the regular season, but it's fools' gold. They're worse than last year, extremely frustrating to watch, and not going anywhere in the playoffs.

[100%duncan]

:lmao CN melting down after every game
Welp what he said was true. CN just denies that Doc is also a weakness but then again with the coaches that tje NBA has...

[scanry]

Every one was high on the Clippers including me. It's still early but they're clearly a fools gold team. I though if they can avoid the Spurs, they would be finals bound. They look like the 2011 Spurs tbh. Too many flaws.

[Arcadian]

Al Jefferson is awesome.

:lol Lebron getting owned by Gordon Hayward

[Arcadian]

This team is a fucking dumpster fire from top to bottom...

That's an honest assessment. I commend you for having an objective perspective. If I were a Clippers fan, I would probably be deluded with optimism, but from an outside perspective, it's pretty clear they're not a threat to do anything in the playoffs.

I'm just not a homer. It was the same thing with the Chargers - during the fools' gold 5-1 start, I harped on Pagano's defense and Reich's playcalling. Everyone was like, "lol CN bitching when his team's winning." Well, now they're in the midst of a huge collapse and two of the main culprits are Pagano's defense and Reich's playcalling.
