In the west, they can still make the palyoffs if the beat up on the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Agreed. This isn't like a couple of years back, before the Clippers were actually decent and they were the Clippers. There's still a decent chance they make the playoffs. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyandlux Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I think the Clips can hold it together for 6 months at around .500 and make a push for the playoffs with a rested Brand. If its the entire season itll be difficult to make the playoffs, especially without someone like Francis running the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even know basketball???!!!????Yes, Brand has been the only all star, but mostly because his teammates are overshadowed in the West at their positions.

Do you even know basketball???!!!????Yes, Brand has been the only all star, but mostly because his teammates are overshadowed in the West at their positions.Kaman's a serviceable, albeit overpaid, center. Maggette has bum knees. Livingston won't be back for quite some time, and he may never be the same again. Cassell and Mobley are in the twilight of their careers (and in Mobley's case, a career that was never much more than being second fiddle to someone better). Dunleavy's fashioned a decent club, granted, but let's not sweep Brand's injury under the rug. This was a massive blow to the franchise, and they're not that talented or deep enough to ride that out successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadmanLA Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 This is probably my Clipper bias talking, but I'll be as realistic as possible. If they can be somewhat competitive (around .500 mark or so) going into the All-Star break, which is by the expected time both Brand and Livingston should return, they should sneak into playoffs. Of course, that would mean that our starting center with ADD can wake up from his season-long coma, our second-best player can get along with the coach and quit chucking up ill-advised shots, and everyone else have career years. As it stands, it would a hell of a miracle for all of the above to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Where are y'all getting this stuff? They weren't even .500 WITH Elton Brand last year.
