Game Day: Suns (36-26) @ Clippers (44-20) , Mon 3/10/14

Do you guys see the Clippers as a legit contender? They have kept a stable roster core for several years, they have a steady veteran coach, they added some nice pieces at the trade/buyout deadline. It's hard for me to think of them getting too far in the playoffs, because of all the other talented teams. I sort of picture them being ousted in the 2nd round. I guess it would depend on the matchups.

Clips will go as far as Blake Griffins post game will take them. Unless you have an LBJ or MJ, you win in the PO's with post play a defense. I think LAC is sound defensively, but has no real consistent post threat. I don't see them coming outta the west this year.

I think they're one of several teams in the West with a shot to win the whole thing. OKC, SA and Houston are the others. If Golden State figures their shit out, I could see them getting hot, but they have some big flaws now.

The Suns would then also get the Minnesota pick, because they would be bumped to 14, but there might be a better chance that Kim Jong-un gets at least one dissenting vote in his next election than the Suns winning the lottery from the 14th position.

Does anybody know if there are any other teams besides the Suns to never have the number one pick in the NBA draft? Where's bobster when you need him?

NBA fights are silly, its always like 2 brothers getting into it. PJ didn't deserve a suspension, Griffin flopped in that "fight."

Bobster, this is the question that made me think of you.
