Where all them WCF fans at?

Here.

Warriors are giving away replica championship rings to fans on Nov. 4th. Team their playing against? Clippers.

Btw is there any coach more salty, in general, than Doc Rivers?

He's a tool. Excuses for every failure. He says Ubuntu, though, and people think he's a genius.

 

[bksballer89]

Speaking of salty, how about James Harden still crying about losing out on the MVP

 

[CitySushi]

Not gonna lie, when times were tough with the Warriors, I was all about the personal accolades. 6th Man, All-Star, 2nd team defense, Most improved...anything.

But that was when we were devoid of any true superstar (or just decent players). Harden is in that class and it's weird for him to be throwing shade. I mean, he should be more upset that he had only 14 points and 12 turnovers in the close-out game.

Klay Thompson sticking it to the Doc and the Clippers...

In a recent interview, Rivers told Grantland's Zach Lowe: "You need luck in the West. Look at Golden State. They didn't have to play us or the Spurs."

When asked Friday about Rivers' comments, Thompson said, "That sounds pretty bitter to me."

Then he noted Golden State's 3-1 series record against Los Angeles last season, saying, "If we got lucky, look at our record against them last year. I'm pretty sure we smacked them."

"Didn't they lose to the Rockets?" Thompson asked. "So that just makes me laugh. That's funny. Weren't they up 3-1, too? Tell them I said that, too."

Thompson's final word on the topic was, "I wanted to play the Clippers last year, but they couldn't handle their business."

Doc Rivers is such a chump, so is the rest of that organization. If you would have told me 5 years ago I would hate the Clips I would have called you a liar. I can't wait until they choke again in the playoffs and fade back to irrelevance a few years from now.

 

[bksballer89]

Doc Rivers does come off as a bitch.

Chris Paul ain't getting any younger, so irrelevance might come sooner than a few years. At least the Clippers have provided us with much entertainment, whether it be Doc Rivers' comments or the DeAndre Jordan free agent comedy.

With this roster they'll be a top 5 playoffs team in the West for the next 3 years at least so they will be relevant for quite some time

 

[trojanfan12]

the DeAndre Jordan free agent comedy.

Of all of the Clippers embarrassments of the years, I think that one is my favorite.

West Coast best coast, Western Conference best conference.

Anyone else think the Mavs will be really bad this year? Idk why people have them in the playoffs still.

Nope just you. They'll be around 43+ wins. Still got a solid offensive team

I don't have them in the Playoffs, but they still got proven veteran pieces you can't count out. But yeah, they could very easily drop out of the pack if they can't get or stay healthy.

@Arizona_Sting I think your Suns are the biggest sleeper in the entire league right now. They've always had the talent, but for the first time in ages they also have the depth. It's part of the reason why I have them as my third team for the time being.
