Like many others out there in the NBA world I had hope for this team. I remember seeing this team about 3 seasons ago and saying wow they could be something special in the future. Griffin and Jordan can develop there games tremendously, Paul can become the leader and Crawford is solid off the bench. However, return to future day and nothing has really changed.
So WTF has happened? Let's break it down
1. Where are the winners?
If you look at the previous 15 NBA champions, every single one of those teams had players who were main pieces on the team that had been deep in the playoffs and understood what it took to win. Look at the clips the only guys that have been or won a final is barnes, glen davis and turkoglu. The last 2 are not going to show the team anything and sorry barnes you should not be starting or even getting that many minutes a game. Paul, made 1 mini run with the hornets and thats it. You want to win? Bring in role players winners that can still contribute.
2. Shitty role players
You had bledsoe coming off the bench..nah we dont like him we want reddick. You had collison to back paul... nah we will let him go and get farmer, huh? I thought you wanted to win a championship and you let go of collison? Reddick and Barnes are role players not starters!!!!! Like you are telling me you couldnt find anyone better to play the 2 and 3 position other then these 2 clowns...smh
3. Can you play some defense?
Everyone is blaming doc for ruining the clips. He preaches defense first and to my opinion thats what wins you championships. Like I said above look at the previous 15 nba champions all their coaches were heavy defensive coaches and were ranked in the top 5 in def rankings.
But the clips dont want to buy in. Like Jordan, you are huge but play like a lazy piece of crap. This guy should be like the best defensive player ever year but lacks the basketball IQ to do anything. Griffin is the same, pretty boy who thinks he is MJ cause he has a crappy looking jump shot, MAKE SOME STOPS BRO!!!! Ya your points are up from last season but you get owned on the defensive end of the floor. Paul step up!!! You act like you think you are the best PG leader to play in the NBA. Yet, you havent won anything. This guy is so streaky, if he could just step up and take control of this team they would be 7-2 right now. Stop throwing tantrums and arguing all the time with refs, you are the vet of this team start acting like it.

This is old news. Anyone who thought the Clips had a chance to win a title this year belongs on the short bus.
Paul and Griffin are winners, plain and simple. But winning in the playoffs isn't about your top 2 or three guys, it's about guys 6 through ten, more than anything.
When JJ Redick, Matt Barnes and Jamal Crawford's 7 for 21 shooting behind are three of your key players, your chances of even winning the Western Conference are exactly zero. Jamal Crawford will never, ever, ever sniff the NBA Finals for as long as he plays basketball, I don't care what team he's on.
