Shoeking you and these damn metrics bruh :lol:. You're right, there is no metric to gauge how soft a team is but if there were the clippers would be off the charts

The bandwagon haters came when the clips started to claim they run LA, since when does winning seasons qualify as running LA

Chips are what they need to make that claim, and in the playoffs they have been steady getting upset in my eyes, there is no match up that favors them this year unless they play the suns and or mavs, every other team in my eyes is a first round out for them

I'm not hating on the clips but right now there on track to do exactly what they did last year 50+ wins and a 2nd round exit...

They need to make changes to exceed that ceiling
 
I don't know if the Clippers got worse because they had to replace Gentry with Frank/Cassell, but GSW damn sure got better when they signed him.

they should probably hang a division title banner so they have something to show for the one time the team was relevant 
 
This is why I get tired of Barkley saying the same old stuff every time he's on TV. He doesn't get that the game has evolved since he played.


Look at how many dribbles Chuck gets without any help coming. He basically gets 5 seconds to back his man down without ever having a help side guy come to double or a wing drop to dig it out of the post. The NBA had different rules in the 90's that rewarded post players with Barkley's post skill. The modern NBA is different. Teams send quick doubles in the post, overload the strong side, and actively force post players to make quick reads. No one could get away with 8 dribbles on a regular basis on a post move.

@JADubin5: Former players trying to pigeonhole current guys into roles that resemble how they played is the worst part of them announcing games.

@JADubin5: Barkley just wants Love to post up all the time. Reggie wants PGs to just spend all their energy setting up shooters, etc.

@SethPartnow: The whole "live by jumpers die by jumpers" thing probably WAS true at one point. Rules and league have changed and moved on.

Clips problem is definitely not softness. If anything, all that flopping and nonsense helps them out.

Just curious..how did the get steady upset in the playoffs? They've lost to the Spurs Grizzlies and OKC the 3 times they've been in the playoffs. Only 1 first round exit. The

Bandwagon hate didn't come from them thinking they "run la"...It came because of the Blake and Cp3 hate. And laker fans.

Look at how dwight is hated now lol.
 
Damn Chuck had all day in post back in the day.

Not even a hint of a double team by Warriors.
 
GG Cavs fans. I assure you we're not as bad as you saw tonight. I'm interested to see if the Cavs are actually that good now though.
