1. We've been here already. Haven't you learned? The Clips will always find their way to choke in the 2nd round. Never trust these guys.

2. Outscoring your opponent makes you win. So there's no problem with the Warriors always outscoring everyone.

I get it that most people say the Clippers are a good regular season team, but no good in the playoffs, but I have to give @Mecca 's some love. This may be different this year because while they were pretty good in the past, they did not have a history of making the playoffs on a regular basis and subsequently were not prepared to elevate their game and take it to the next level. Yes it is too early, but if the Clippers continue to play this good, they could go further into the playoff and be at minimum in the final four teams. I say that because San Antonio can't be discounted and neither can the Warriors, but If I was making a prediction based the first ten games, I would say a Clippers vs Warriors Western Conference Finals and it would be brutal

The Clippers always look good in the regular season and it's always "going to be different this year." Unfortunately for the Clips, until they actually accomplish something in the playoffs, this is going to be the narrative.

They could finish the season 81-1 and people will still expect a 2nd round exit.

I didn't expect Trump to win so miracles can happen. They do look better this year even though I think it's going to be a tough hill to get past both the Warriors and Cavaliers.

:lol: Hey wait a minute - I was showing your Clippers some love now. Come on, I think they could go to the Western Conference Finals the way they are playing. If Teams like Dallas and Cleveland can win their first, so can the Clippers

You can watch those finals in Hawaii - I watch the Lakers WCF against Phoenix back 2008 or 2009 in Nevada at a truck stop in the lounge for truck drivers and I wasn't even a truck driver - lol

Case in point, Ws playing Toronto, the Raptors are on the 2nd game of a back to back, and they are gonna score 40 in the first quarter.

Warriors still have a lot of work to do.

Unsurprisingly, the Warriors are ranked no. 1 in offensive rating. The Warriors are capable of winning many games purely on offense. The encouraging thing is that they should improve on defense as they get to know each other. I was surprised that they're defensive rating isn't as bad as I thought. They're rating middle of the pack right now. I thought they'd be near the bottom.
