Gallinari and Beverly have also been out of the lineup tbh. Beverly hasn't played since the Spurs game and Gallinari's been out even before that. When they get everyone fully healthy they're a Top 4/5 team in the West imo.
Team before CP3=lottery bound
Team with CP3=perennial top 3/4 team in the West
Team after CP3=5-7 so far
BTW, Blake needs to step the up. There's no excuse for him missing the playoffs alongside Jordan, Beverly, Teodosic, Gallinari and Lou Williams. I still expect them to make the playoffs once the Point God returns, but Griffin shouldn't allow the Clippers to be sucking so much with everyone healthy sans a rookie PG, tbh.
And I know what ClipperNation is going to say, tbh: "the Rivers family blah, blah, blah". That didn't stop CPclipperGOAT from dragging them to the playoffs every year, tbh.

The Rockets are 11-3 and first place in the West without CP0. If he's so amazing and irreplaceable, that shouldn't be possible.
Rockets were a good RS team last year, cripples seemed to have fallen off a cliff, and where’s that euro scrub that’s supposed to be your savior , has he even played ?
He tore his plantar fascia
They were in in the games previous to the Spurs and they were losing too, tbh.
Hence the cripples
They were still the third best team record-wise before the Dubs game which was the last game they were mostly healthy.
The cancer analogy doesn't preclude teams from winning 50 plus, tbh.
Clippers guards suck:
Teodosic is old, slow, injury prone and a rookie.
Lou Williams is a chucker.
Beverley is a 3D player.
Austin Rivers
They finally got a small forward but unfortunately he is soft and injury prone. So is Griffin.
I don't know man, I think they should tank and trade players for picks (Jordan to Cavs for Brooklyn pick). Loaded draft incoming.
Gallinari went out in the game against the Heat, up to that point the Clippers had already amassed 4 loses.
Gallinari shooting 35,5 % from the field and 26 % from three.
Cllippers messed up by signing so many injury prone dudes. We'll keep hearing "just wait til they get healthy!" when you know damn well that will never happen
Forgot about the MEM and MIA games tbh.
very fair point..
Are you saying you are supporting my take? I'm not understanding son.
Clippers never really beat anyone anyway. 3 of their 5 wins this season are against some of the worst teams in the league. Phoenix, Dallas, Lakers? Yeaaaaa... great wins. And in a couple of those wins, Lou ing Williams and Doc junior had to show out just so the team could win. Blake put up good numbers against bad teams and teams with no PFs. Look at his last couple games, a couple against legitimate PFs in Davis and LMA. He's shooting 18-for-59 from the field his last three games. That's worse than Lonzo Ball's season FG%.
dat hoe ass Blake. Still made.
I don't think anyone thinks Griffin is a top-tier superstar capable of carrying a team to le contention. He's a second-tier star - very nice player, maybe one of the best Clippers of all time (for what that's worth), but should not be expected to drag a team to the Finals.
How long does that injury keep a player out for?
Blake was in' trash as he choked down the stretch against mediocre cavs. Another Clitter Nation take gets exposed![]()
If only he could be as clutch as CP0 in the Western Conference Finals... oh wait.
Blake would have to make the playoffs first, but can't without the Point God holding his hand.
before point god --> zero playoffs for Blake
after point god --> zero playoffs for Blake
