Can the Clippers beat OKC in The 2nd round?

[Kingwillball]

That is the Question as I think the CLips will win this series than take out an old and wounded SA team next round but can they beat the OKC Thunder who should get by Denver in Round 2.

Clippers play OKC Next round, not Conference finals.

[BGriffin's Dad]

i don't wanna say we can beat OKC, but yes we can beat them

[Stern]

No way.

Wesbrook is gonna take a sh1t on Chris Fall.

Clippers play OKC Next round.

That Sucks..for some reason I thougt the Clips were the 3 seed but that will be a HELL of a 2nd round with the winner going to the FInals IMO.

It ultimately comes down to CP3 vs KD. I don't think Clippers have anyone that can slow down Durant. Either Westbrook or Thabo will be checking CP3 all the time!

[OldSkoolball#52]

Either way, series goes 7 IMO

no, it comes down to Thunder vs Clippers

take a break from ESPN

For some reason TNT showed the Clippers being in a bracket to potentially face San Antonio in the next round.

Clippers have bodies to throw at Durant with Butler & Barnes.

[Young X]

Yes.

[Micku]

I don't think so. The Thunder play CP3 pretty good this year. Most of the time if you can stop CP3, you'll stop the Clips. But the reason why they will probably lose against the Thunder is because the Clips can't really defend the 3 that well. The Thunder are top 3 in 3s and top 5 at defending the 3.

The Clips are in the bottom 5 at defending the 3. And the Clips kind'a live and die by the 3 at times.

[Al Thornton]

they would need to find a way to stop westbrook. in the regular season matchups he was doing whatever he wanted against paul.

[Graviton]

As a Thunder fan I actually think Clips will win in 7.

Westbrook and Paul will cancel each other out, Durant will get his but Clippers will match his production with Crawford+Barnes+Butler.

Now the problem is Griffin, he always destroys Ibaka/Scrubkins and gets all our frontcourt in foul trouble. Clippers have a HUGE advantage with their bigs and bench. Basically...

Paul=Westbrook
Billups/Bledsoe/Barnes>Sefalosha/Reggie/Fisher
Durant>>>Butler
Griffin>>>Ibaka
Jordan>>>>>>>>>>>Perkins
Crawford>Martin
Hollins, Turiaf, Odom> Collison by himself

Durant will have to go absolutely bananas, and Westbrook will have to score like 25+ on top of guarding Paul, Bledsoe, Crawford. Their impact has to outweigh Griffin/Jordan destroying our frontcourt and Clips bench outplaying ours. You have to take into account genius Brooks plays Perkins and Fisher over 10 minutes a game, that right there giftsClippers 4-5 extra fouls, extra possesions and easy points for whoever those 2 are guarding.
