Wow this is not good for his PR.

And here I thought it was due to knuckle push-ups.....

The Clippers have been knocking on the door of the WCF for years now without success and now this. Let's face it, they are similar to Memphis - great team, lots of success, but never a legit contender in the West. I kind of wonder how much longer they try to keep that core together. Golden State isn't going anywhere for the next few years.

I think this was supposed to be the make-or-break season.

Right - there are a number of teams that might apply to (Houston comes to mind). But those teams that loaded up or spent big bucks to keep their veteran core in tact this past offseason must be in a state of depression at the moment. Golden State is blowing out everyone and may go down as the greatest NBA team ever.

I've said this before, but over the past number of years, I believe the NBA has more talent and more talented teams than at any other point in its history. It's daunting how damn good you need to be to even get into the Western Conference Semis.

This is true. And that's a good thing.

The days of a team winning a title with Jason Williams and Antoine Walker starting are over.

I guess he was just doing them a favor they are 11-3 without him. Lol Overall this just seems dumb. I don't know what the Clippers overall outlook for the future is. I really don't know what else they can do is keep grinding away and hope GS has a key injury or something like that. Who was expecting GS to show out like this? Even if you thought they were the best team they have basically exceeded expectations and have been beasting on the league. The Spurs are pretty damn good too.
