Guy Who Never Responds
I can understand the media enthusiasm for the new look Rockets.
I can understand the Golden State hopefuls.
But, I cannot fathom why the Clippers are the runaway picks with the Thunder to finish 2nd or 1st.
They seem to be the sexy pick on every website or media outlet to represent the West.
Forget my own San Antonio homerism....
I just don't see exactly what they did to go from a team that is Memphis/SA fodder to Western champs.
Lose Billups, Hill, Butler, Bledsoe, and maybe Odom.
Gain Reddick and Jared Dudley.
Is that really a talent upgrade????
I know they added Doc Rivers. But, this a talent league. Coaches are secondary.
I am curious to hear logical reasons why they are the Western Darlings now???
