The Clippers fell from elite status to middel of the rank team

Losing their best post defender and defender in general will change the whole setup of their team. They fell off the top 3 teams in the west.

Warriors
Spurs
Houston
OKC
Memphis

And the rest

They're not better than Oklahoma City or Memphis.

yep. Memphis got better with Wright and Barnes and a healthy OKC will be good.They will be lucky to get the 6th or the 7th seed.

They lost their Center. They get a new one? The question is which...

They lost their defensive anchor. How many Centers out there can replace that kind of drop off ? Dwight, Gasol and Noah but they aint getting them.

Clippers were never elite status.

Most people had them wining it all. People who knew better obviously never bought into the hype.

Suns got him quick to convince Aldridge but that did not workout.It's not just DJ's defense, dude was a monster on the boards as well!. Cleaning up the offensive and the defensive glass.

Who cares, they were never going to win anything important anyway.

Pretty much.

It is ok though, because they have Pierce for 3 years!

Instead of a 2-3 seed they have fallen to a 5-6 seed. Blake is better. A couple years back they won 50+ games with DJ playing a lesser role.

Chris Paul always has great regular seasons and then fades in the playoffs. Blake Griffin can't get it done by himself

The fvck is this shit? We have no idea how they're going to adjust. People act like CP3 and Blake also left town. They're still contenders with those two.

"most"?

maybe a few...but its probably less than 10% of NBA viewers had them winning it all.

contenders?

for what?

Time for a new plan. Clipper's game was getting old, sorry to say..

They are still a good team, but while they got worse, other top West teams will get better.

They should sign a leading psychiatrist... and Larry Sanders.

I never believed,mostly cause I'm a Blake Griffin and cp3 flopping hater but yeah they took a huge step back, hopefully they can find a center in the bargain bin and rejuvenate them. Emeka okafor!!!
