Which team will make a huge jump this year?

[ooshmay]

If you consider losing in the first round to winning the championship to be a big jump it will be the Blazers.

Naive Blazers fans..

Washington Wizards... last place to top 8.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Clippas in the West, Wiz in the East

Me too.

And if the Clippers got a real coach they'd be a real danger.

Would say the Zombie Sonics, but they lack a go to post presence, and their bigman stocks in general are quite poor. They'll beat some teams they weren't meant to though, like they did in the second half of last season.

griffin will beast though.

+1

They didn't play hard for their coach last year. Griffin will beast though.

Baron was last year too... he dropped like 15-20 lbs. If he steps up, along with the addition of griffin, they could contend for a spot.

Rockets Baby!

If Boy Genius Daryl Morey is to believed, on paper and computer models, he has assembled the 2nd best NBA team in Houston.

Last year after the trade they won half of their games.

exactly. Last seasons clippers have ot be the WORST team ever. No lie. Take a look at their roster, close to championship calibur, and take a look at their record.

People were mostly picking them to do well with Brand. After all that drama Baron went into pout mode and the Clippers tanked the rest of the season. No way were they "close to championship caliber".

Considering they drafted Griffin and he looks legit, it's probably better this way for them. Blake > Brand.

It is embarrassing.

The Clippers have had worse and more embarrassing seasons than that. I assure you.

[21_Blessings]

Of course Griffin probably suffers a career ending injury and Baron gains 20 pounds and "back" problems.

The Clippers will always be the Clippers.

Clippers are like the Raiders of the NBA. Analyst and people always pick them as a team that could do something in the off-season. The season starts and they still suck. That said, I'll go with the Clippers.

Which Raiders are you talking about? The Red Raiders?

People haven't been picking the Raiders to do for several years now, but people "always" pick them as a team that could do something? Other than delusional Raider fan, when's the last time that was an accurate statement?
