[timtonymanu]

Cute of Laker fans to pretend Spurs fans fear the Clippers.

If the Mavs were doing anything of worth besides getting cucked , you wouldn't spend your time posing as. Rocket fan (). But they aren't so here you are.

Josh Smith was a beast in the playoffs. No one expected it, certainly not Blake and Chris. As the bearded one sat there on his rump near the bench and watched, his trash time squad went back in with TNT and leveled the place Predator style, Ventura with the minigun... still spinning.. no trees standing.

Until the WCF where he was awful.

Clips super stacked tbh, their offseason rating jumped from F- all the way up to A+ within the timespan of two weeks...

Personally I am glad this free throw shooting brick layer is gone. Plus he was awful in the playoffs. If the Rockets want to contend for the le, they have to construct to beat the Warriors. That means better three point shooting and free throws. We can take one bricker in Howard but no more.

Nonsense. He's a celebrity like on The Merv Griffin Show.

Please.

In the playoffs:

Dirk: 4

TOSB Kirbs: 0



let us proceed...

[Double-Up]

It's a loss for sure but it's not that big of a deal. We get our two starters back healthy, sign someone with the MLE, make a trade...we're all good. Clips are overrated as , and Josh can cause chemistry issues...especially in that locker room. I'd worry about OKC before those s.

[Killakobe81]

LOL....Laker fan jumping on the Clipper band wagon .............

I don't root for Clips and I dont think they can beat you but I didn't think 7 would happen either

Please.

Kobe: 5

Dirk: that 1.

That team has some scary potential on paper. I still don't know if you can really trust somebody to be a go to guy on that team.

Chris Paul has shown he can do it from time to time but has yet to reach the conference finals. And then you have a 37 year old Paul Pierce. Do you just sub in Pierce for the last minute or so?

Because there's no way I'm trusting Stephenson, Smith, Griffin, or Jordan with the game on the line

[ambchang]

I can't see how anybody can be dissing this signing. Josh Smith at the minimum is an absolute steal.

Sure he has a lot of huge flaws in his game, but he is expected to be a role player, and helps plug one of the main holes on the Clippers - wing defense.

He is not as good a defender than he once was (was always overrated, but still good nonetheless), but he is still better than any perimeter defender the Clippers have. His offense is horrible due to his incredible inefficiency and dreadful shooting (never stopped him from jacking them up though), but CP3 will help set him up in nice spots to help reduce the impact of that weakness. Besides, with CP3, Blake, Crawford, and Pierce with him on the floor, there is no shortage of scoring options.

Imagine this lineup:
CP3, Blake, Jordan, Pierce/Smith/Red /Crawford, the Clippers will be extremely hard to stop on offense, and have enough athleticism to disrupt on defense.

Getting Smith for Barnes is an upgrade, an upgrade with higher risks in terms of inconsistencies, but an upgrade nonetheless.
