Sħãlïq™ Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The Clippers have never won a division title. In recent history our best performance came in 2005-'06: we finished ahead of the Lakers, and only lost the title to the Suns led by Nash (season's MVP at the time): Team W-L PCT.

Need4Sheed Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 They have a good team but I still think they take a back seat to the Lakers. This team will need another season to completely gel IMO. Still early in the season so I think the Lakers will have plenty of time to turn it on and still claim the div.

SRT Spidey Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I agree. Lakers look whack as hell this year and LAC is meshing quite well and so many offensive weapons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) We need to avoid significant injuries to win the division. Kobe and Gasol haven't missed anytime due to injury. And they have played quite a few more games than the Clippers. We definitely can't afford losing DJ, Griffin, or Butler. It will be close between us and the Lakers. We've played tough opponents, but we've played over 2/3s of our games at home and we've played least total games in the league, meaning there a lot of back to backs in our future. Also I think Gasol will get himself together at some point, although Mike Brown's crappy offense doesn't seem to maximize his abilities. It will be close and Paul needs to be healthy, but we certainly have a good chance. Assuming CP3 is back, this is how I see our next 9 road games: Games we should win:@Washington@Cleveland@Charlotte Games we will probably lose:@Orlando@Philly@Dallas Toss-ups:@Denver@Lakers (because it's not really a true road game and CP3 is the Laker Khilla)@Utah (because CP3 will be healthy this time and we will really be looking to make a statement after the bad loss last time) In other words, I will only be concerned if we come out of the next 9 road games with less than 4 wins.

Sħãlïq™ Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Still half game ahead after the Memphis game. Surprisingly the Clippers come around pretty fast. I wasn't quite sure how long it would be before things started to click for the team, but luckily they've played really well together so far. Before the season started, I thought the Lakers would be a better regular season team while the Clippers would actually do better in the playoffs. But now that the season has been going on for a few weeks now, I do think that the Clippers can win the Pacific division! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 who else is hoping and praying for Lakers/Clippers playoff match up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 who else is hoping and praying for Lakers/Clippers playoff match up?I guess it's inevitable. If not in the first round, then in the second. Remember back in the 2006 offs? I was hoping for a LAC-LAL playoff matchup but the Lakers blew a 3-1 lead over the Suns. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
