Josh Smith to Sign w/ Clippers

[Fireball]

Oh they are good man, they got better this off season as well and those saying not worried or this or that are fooling themselves. They are a very good team and can beat you in a series, they will be a top 3 team out West easily IMO.

So I am not the only one thinking that ...

[pookenstein]

CP3 and Griffith are known to make stupid ass mistakes in critical moments.

So does/did Manu. Do you thik he has a low bball-IQ?

Well after last year when they were a higher seed and beat the Spurs in the playoffs anyone with half a brain would realize they are a threat out West. They were up 3-1 and should have been in the WCF, so no I hope me and you (And Kobyz) are not the only ones that think they will be a force. I wish Jordan had bolted personally and they were left in shambles, but him coming back and Pierce (Now this as well) make them even better than last years team and they have chemistry as well going in sides the new parts which were an upgrade over what they had. They will be very good, if they gel with that talent scary.

i don't think you ca say easy. there is GS,SA,OKC with MEM and HOU being wild cards.

i'd pick SA and LAC over GS just because GS can't repeat in such a western conference next year. OKC is way overrated. MEM and HOU would be the same. Feel sorry for Dallas.

Either or they are dangerous and a threat and those who dont think so are fooling themselves. The West will be very tough to come out of...

If you don't listen to Slayer you can just ing die man...)))))))))
Passed away Slayer member Jeff Hanneman (r.i.p.) once said that he didn't understand why it's forbidden to knock someone out who's getting to the hoop in basketball (he was a big hockey fan)

[Vic Petro]

While that may be true, it hasn't prevented our front office from expressing interest in Josh Smith in the past.

Smith's character is deeply flawed. But he has excellent size, is extremely athletic, and is very versatile. And there's no better coach in the NBA that could police him than Pop. If he gets his head on straight, there's no question Smith would make the Spurs a better team. At the very least, he would've made a better signing than Bonner.

Even if the Spurs would entertain adding this guy (they wouldn't - your link notwithstanding), why would he want to be a 6th big?

i am sure he can play small forward. better be 2nd SF behind Kawhi in SAS than 2nd PF behind Blake in LAC.

Ahhh and he is right... Just read an interview tonight they did and it was interesting.

Better to be 2nd PF behind Blake AND 2nd SF behind Pierce(stephenson is better fit at SG)

[Vokun]

I can't believe y'all actually sweatin the Clippers. How much y'all wanna bet that the Clips aren't a threat and won't even make it past the 2nd round? I'll listen to any offers.

[San Antonio Slayer]

how about being 2nd SF behind Kawhi with Mills and Manu vs 2nd PF/SF with Rivers and Crawford?

[tatteredprince]

we are still better over all imo

[benefactor]

Good thing Parker and Ginobili never go into the playoffs banged up...

We got DunGawd and LMA to handle business though

Based Patty should be back to 100% this year too...so if Parker eats the production out of himself again he can take up the slack.

[BillMc]

Josh and Lance....lots of talent, but Doc has his work cut out for him with the personalities. Clips will be good though, no doubt about it.

[Chillen]

They have a solid team, taking them lightly would be stupid. If the Spurs stay healthy they should make the WCF's and more than likely one of Warriors/OKC/Grizz/Clippers will be there waiting for them.

[tatteredprince]

what a battle for the West this year, as usual

Spurs
Warriors
Clippers
Thunder

then

Grizzlies
Rockets
Pelicans could make some noise too

[tatteredprince]

the Clippers could become the Miami Heat of the West (athletic wise), during the Heat Lebron era

[tatteredprince]

lets see how we stack up

Duncan against DeAndre?
LaMarcus vs Blake
Kawhi vs Pierce (Finals MVP vs Finals MVP)
Parker vs Paul
JJ Red vs DGreen

pretty even??

DWest vs who??
Stephenson vs Manu?
Jamal vs Mills
Diaw vs Josh Smith (Diaw has edge in bball IQ)

and then

Marjanovic?? hahahaha

so seems pretty even, what do you think guys?

specific match-ups analysis, pls

[tatteredprince]

our edge against the Clippers then seems to be frontline depth still

Diaw and DWest must emerge against them

[Spurtacular]

How spurs fans keep being homers and y and keep telling them self stories about that clippers just beating the spurs last playoff does not mean much and how clippers making upgrade is not a worry... Pathetic, spurs fans never learn!

Smith is not that great of a signing. He plays the 4--the same position as Blake. He's not going to take many meaningful minutes in the playoffs unless he's playing the 3 (instead of Pierce). In that scenario, Kawhi will shred him. Or we can put Danny Green on Smith (like he guarded Durant in Gm 6 of the 2014 WCF) and put Kawhi on Paul.

[cd98]

Griffin, Jordon, Josh Smith, and Big Baby Davis....that's pretty good front court depth. Clippers wing depth is questionable. Pierce is crafty, but he's not Kawhi good. Stephenson is combustible, but he can make a difference on offense and defense. He's good when he's not expected to be the man. And Paul, Red , Crawford, and Rivers is a good backcourt with decent depth. Clips will be a contender. And if they are a top 4 seed, which is highly likely, then they are a threat to go deep into the playoffs.

Boom. Nuked
