Blake Griffin Out 2-4 Weeks (Quad)

[Robz4000]

So does this eliminate them from competing for a top four seed?

[Silver&Black]

2 weeks = I'm not going to eliminate them yet.

4 weeks = Yeah, I'm thinking a top 4 spot would be impossible.

Ouch. There goes their chance at the 3 seed.

Doc will no doubt start Pierce instead of Smith.

Shit, playoff chokers are not, neither SA/GSW would want to face them in the first round

They won't fall that far. The 7-8 seeds are 3+ games under .500 iirc.

Meh, we lost Griffin last year for roughly 15 games yet we stayed afloat during his absence, going 9-6 without him. Believe it or not, the Clippers played better during too. We had a ridiculous +14.8 net rating IIRC.


It's also a pretty soft schedule. In 12 games, only Utah, Cavs and maybe the Rockets are the biggest threats. Id be happy if we go 8-4.


Tonght's away game against Utah will be good test to see if the team will step up.

Most likely they are going to be matched up either against the Mavs:lol or Rockets in the 1st rd (4/5 matchup)

Shitty bench will get further exposed tbh Unless Crawful can score 30 a game it's going to be a nightmare for L.A. Jordan played well (if I remember correctly) last year when Blake went out, but they were still losing.

I was over the top rude here and have taken it out. My apologies, Chris.

Solly Cholly, you're on the list! :rolleyes

Was hoping it was pizza face.

Paul Pierce chose the right game to make his season debut:lol but Jamal Crawford meanwhile has somehow become an even worse version of his scrubby ass gunner self:lol

[StrengthAndHonor]

Relieved we won this game. And what's up with Reddick? This guy always steps up in Griffin's absence. I remember him shooting the lights out during a 4 win streak..,

[StrengthAndHonor]

9-0 without Griffin so far...

[Robz4000]

Crazy shit they're doing.

[hater]

No worries. They will sign Steve Blake in the interim

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Dude is an overrated dunker anyway, really the reason they can't get past the 2nd round


The Clippers are Christ Paul's team, and you're stupid if you think otherwise.

[spursistan]

easy schedule for most part, but still a gritty stretch by the Clips getting other guys to contribute off their bench even with Lance/Smith not seeing the floor mostly.(dat offseason :lol)

In fairness, we've played nine shitty teams in a row, and several of them were injured. We've lucked out that Blake's injury coincided with one of the softest stretches of the schedule.
