No, you are missing the point. It's pretty ing obvious to anyone with 2 eyes and a brain who'll be in the WCF this year, barring serious injury.
It did mean something. Without HC - the match up's changed and they don't even make it to the WCF. If you are seriously trying to argue that winning the regular season, getting the number one seed, HC and the match up's that ensued did not mean anything - cool, I just disagree.

That's exactly what I'm saying. That's what makes the playoffs great--you work all year for HCA and all it takes is one home loss to on your season and force you to win on the road against a superiorly talented team.
then it's not pretty ing obvious..
I recommend you stay upstairs, where people won't belittle you for your re ed opinions.
i'll keep that in mind, thank you.
Exactly, HCA means when all it takes is one lost to lose it. Work all year to lose it in one game. Championship teams win on the road and 1st seed hasn't meant in two years.

will he listen to a savy vet like Hill when the chips are down? I doubt it."Blake’s a great kid, and I said, ‘Look man, take your time. If I learned anything, take your time,’ ” Hill said. “He wants to get back so fast.
“I said, ‘I need you in June, I don’t need you in October.’ So he’s a great kid and got a great career ahead of him, and hopefully I can share a little about the highs and the lows and the things that I’ve gone though.’’

Mo Williams will be a huge loss for them.
Now I KNOW you're trolling, B...
I think it's important for people to recognize that last sentence b/c it's a microcosm of what we've been saying this entire thread.
Let's look at the last 2 years:
The Bulls and Spurs won their respective conferences (regular season) 2 years in a row. They didn't have the best talent, but they had the best coaching and arguably the 2 best?benches in the league--which helped them mask a lot of their talent issues. Both teams had PG's as their best players too
In the playoffs, the lack of talent gets exposed by superior teams. At the end of the day Danny Green is still Danny Green.
My eyes. Griffin is a prima donna beotch. He flops, whines for calls, and if he can't dunk on you he ain't . I want to see him try to posterize D12 or better yet stop D12 from doing whatever he wants - especially since DJordan can't stop him.
Not really. Mo is no all star but he did provide a spark to you guys last year. 13 ppg, 90% from the charity stripe, 3 apg, in about 28 mpg. This is good production on a team with a ball dominant guard like CP3.
Oh, and what is Hill suppose to say about Griffin?- the truth? Griffin is a prima donnaPERIOD.
It's so funny how Clipper Nation is named as such and yet he lives and breathes Lakers.
Can't blame him anyway. A lot of the people in the NBA forum live and breathe waiting for the Lakers' next move. It's just the pull of the NBA's premier franchise.![]()

When have "your eyes" seen him specifically whining for touches?
Can't be too hard, since CP3 did it...I want to see him try to posterize D12

Not a very good defender, though, and his cold streaks were infuriating... we had too many shooters and not enough versatility last year, tbh...Not really.

Hey, Smush Parker told the truth about your boy Food Stamps...Oh, and what is Hill suppose to say about Griffin?- the truth?

Disagree Time will tell who was wrong, tbh.
Well, it certainly wasn't a reach considering Miami got their asses handed to them by Dallas the previous season...
But that's the point. Season to season, teams change.
btw, sup Harlem
Well, not really true. Iguodala was actually all-nba 2nd team defense in 2011 (and All-Star last season). And that was playing with a ty team in Philly. Clippers added more size (literally) with Odom, but also Barnes is a scrappy guy. Now, it all might not pan out, but I think they're interesting pieces to dismiss outright before the season even started.
I said darkhorse, tbh
I agree with Miami and OKC being favored. Not ready to hand out 'contender' tags to anybody else at this time, tbh.
Clipper Nation running out of material to troll his true favorite team: LA Lakers.![]()
What happened to the Lakers the last 2 years?

But they needed it. Without Mike Miller drilling those 3s, we might be talking how to beat Durant right now. Heck, OKC's downfall was actually the poor play from the bench, which they used thoroughly during the playoffs and finals (lol towelhead)
Disagree about Mo Will. He was a mindless chucker and they basically replaced that with Jamal Crawford. But Nick Young was that too for them last season, and you could tell their bench was a bunch of chuckers and loons (KMart, Reggie Evans, etc). I think this is probably the best bench in the NBA right now.
tbh, Lakerfan should be the last to talk about players that and moan. Do you want me to put that "Ship his ass out" clip on full blast?
We'll see. I have the Lakeshow being in the hunt. The ceiling is definitely high, but there's also a good amount of question marks, IMO.
In 2011 they lost to an elite player in Godmode (who went on to beat Durant and LeBron). In 2012 they just lost to a better team.
Son, you wish I would take my swag to the bum-ass Lakers, but it ain't gonna happen, tbh....![]()
didn't know you had any tbh.

o venti how are you?
