I really don't notice that big of a difference with the Clippers when Vinny Del Negro coached compared to how they are playing with Doc Rivers as head coach. Maybe a little smarter, better ball movement, but that is to be expected anyway when a young team grows up. I think they have the talent to win an NBA le, but they get to y and full of themselves to ever make it happen. They haven't ever accomplished anything other than they beat the Spurs in the 1st round.
The Warriors and Cavs are the two elite teams in the NBA still and remain the two teams to beat for any team that wants to take the next step. The Spurs come in third imo, but obviously have some flaws. Warriors also weaker but adding Durant makes up for it a bit. Cleveland really is the team to beat in the NBA, the defending NBA champs. Till the Clippers beat the Warriors and make it to the NBA finals, they are just pretenders with lots of talent to win an NBA le. Same can be said for the Spurs, they also have to take that next step, the 2014 NBA le is history now. This should be about the Clippers though, who haven't ever won sh*t under Rivers or Vinny. They had injurys last season, but if they stay healthy this is their year to prove all the naysayers wrong. They got to stop acting y and play hard and with urgency to take that next step.
