I don't think OKC wants anything to do with the Clips in a series. For whatever reason, they seem to have their number.

I think its really CP3, he gets wherever he wants to against Westbrook, not even to score, but just in the paint to distribute and collapse their defense, which he does to most people. But with Westbrook its really bad, he's too overly aggressive to stay with somebody like Paul. I can see another scenario like Dal/GS from a few years ago.

I'm calling it now if we meet the thunder in 2nd round were going to the west final

[Trainwreck2100]

if the spurs win tomorrow, then you get to face the spurs

NBA is all about matchups, and for some reason Clips matched up very well against the Thunder. It's kind of weird because OKC has Westbrook to keep up with CP3, and Durant against Griffin. It could be an interesting series if these two see each other in the playoff.

Agreed. I rather see the clippers face the grizz in the first round than the Mavs. and the thunder in the 2nd round than the lakers or spurs

Clippers won't get past the first round no matter who they play. The only player they have to stop really is Chris Paul which is easier said than done. But if you stop him, Blake and Jordan are gone automatically. Butler, Mo, Foye, and Young are scorers in themselves but in a half court set, they are kind of weak. Clippers are easily fool's gold.

Mark my words! No matter who the Clippers play, they won't win more than 2 games. It's looking more and more like the Lakers and I can see the Lakers winning EASILY in 4-5 games.

im marking your words and its the most absurd thing i've read in a while!

[Doc Samson]

I tend to agree. I just think with OKC in particular, the Clippers would give them problems and potentially win the series. However, before it gets there its looking like they might have to beat the Lakers, and obviously I'm biased, but I don't see them doing it. I think they could give the Thunder more trouble than the Lakers could though, its all about matchups and style of play.

With the laker lost we got great shot for three seed

Call me Docstradomus. They won't beat the Lakers or Memphis in a 7 game series. I'm calling it now: 5 games or a sweep.

[Daniel Thompson]

I Agree with what Stephan A. Smith said this morning a Knicks/Heat matchup can go to 7 games with the Heat winning but the Knicks will give them a run for there money. Plus who wouldn't want to see an old skool style playoff match between Miami and NY. They had good playoff series in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I agree with him also, but I can see the Knicks beating them. Spo isn't a good coach and those guys have been winning despite his bone head decisions. When Lebron disappears again, he's not going to sit him down though he's a liability during those spells, where Riley would.

Knicks do not have enough big men that can grab rebounds which is what will keep them from beating Miami. If they had a few bigs who could rebound I would pick NY in 7 games.

[Lobo]

Woody is now 15-5 since taking over and has yet to lose two in a row. I can only imaging what those twenty games would have been like with Pringles. I'd rather not face Miami in the first round, but that's the most likely scenario :/.

[runawayboulder]

The Knicks have an outside chance of making it to the 6 seed. It's slim but possible. I really don't like their chances against the Heat. The one advantage they'll have is that there's no home court for the Heat since there's a ton of Knicks fans in Miami. I get the feeling that we're killing time until the start of next year.

[Raiden]

I'm pretty impressed with Knicks, having been winning games without their #2 and #3 scorers. I think they can advance to 2nd round but it depends on who they face in the first round.

[Docker2.0]

It's not that the Knicks are so great, it's just that Miami isn't that good this year. There's something wrong with the team and Spo sucks. They barely beat the Knicks when Melo was the only thing going for them. When the Knicks win, I don't want to hear any bandwagon riders say they said from the get go because I'm standing alone on Knick island here!

[runawayboulder]

Their problem for the first round is that they have no point guard. If they somehow make it to the semi's and Lin comes back, they could make a serious run out of it. But no real PG in a matchup with Miami is gonna hurt them.

[Hound55]

They'd be better off against the Heat without Lin and having the offense run more through Melo's hands anyway...

I wouldn't want Lin back until after they play the Heat...

4 games left, 3 behind Orlando. Possible, but not likely.
