    If we ever meet the paper clips in the playoffs, we will beat them hands down. If we go by our stars, LBJ VS Snakey is a wash, and will depend on how long LeBron can say no to Father time, and how bad Snakey's injury is really( I'm hoping really bad as some sort of karmic payback for playing us). AD VS PG, not even close. DMC VS....um Lou Will? Harrell? Beverly? And we still have Kuzma, Green and a solid bench. Frank Vogel has been criminally underrated this past months, as the media have short memories. Doc Rivers? Please, the guy was a joke before he got to the C bags, rode a loaded team to the championship, and all of a sudden he has a genius reputation? He couldn't even get a stacked Clipper team to the WC finals. So yeah, they can crow all they want now about getting Snakey to spurn us and sign with them, they are still not winning anything.

    Lebron gives up # 23 jersey to Anthony Davis

    Anthony Davis gives up 4 million to get his partner in crime DMC to LA

    Kuzma running with AD and Lebron at summer league learning how to be a young king on and off the court

    Paying it forward. This team is going to be great this year in part because we are already seeing them sacrifice for each other and is looking like one of the closest teams we’ve had in awhile (chemistry wise).

    Don’t forget the Rondo, AD, Cousins New Orleans connection.

    Can’t stand the Cs or the step kids but I do think Doc is solid. He coached his a** off with a bunch of borderline seat fillers. Don’t like him but can’t hate on him

    Doc is good at stroking an ego until it explodes. We saw it with Ray Allen, DeAndre, and CP3. PG will demand a trade next year, watch.

    Kind of what I'm alluding to in a non serious way. ;) Thankfully Giannis is not also a complete A-hole as is LaVar.

    Doc is also good at blowing 3-2 leads in series.

    Doc is also good at controlling injuries. ;) Let's be real and I am no fan of the teams he has coached.

    Missed on Kawhi, but it was a risk worth taking, and we happened to rebound pretty nicely. We put together a roster with most of the same role players we were rumored to be targeting all along, as well as Boogie. I like my team.

    I'm still in shock the Clippers have Kawhi and PG...I can't deny and its going to have a lasting impression.

    Given the circumstances and the last second rejection, we did as good as I could have expected. I feel like we have a competitive roster. We might not be the best, but we are among the contending teams which is all you can ask for after missing the post-season 6 years.

    Hey now, this current Clippers team has never lost a playoff series that Doc has coached.
