Meanwhile, even though Paul and Griffin are both around the Top 10 and Jordan top 20ish, they just aren't Durant/Westchimp/Abaka. However, I couldn't see this Spurs team taking more than a game off the Clippers in a potential series while they'd prolly lose to the Grizz/Thunder/Rockets in a series.Quote:

The Clippers would more than likely beat the Grizzlies or Thunder in a series. I'd pick them to beat the Rockets too, in part because of how they lost to them 2 years ago. I'd pick them to beat anyone other than the Warriors, though I maintain that they give them their toughest (and I use this term lightly) series.
Zero fucks given by the Spurs. Waiting for the real season to start.
