I think the real contest is who had the cutest light skinned brothas! Klay & Steph are fine as hell. And Blake looks like Russell from “Buster & Me”.

Throw you chests out all you want, Little Boys… not the Clippers, Warriors, Lakers… or anyone else will take the West from the OKC Thunder!

You can all start dreaming of next year..

You are not allowed to write an article that is positive about a California team unless it’s about the Lakers. The Kings, Warriors, and Clippers exist only to fatten the Lakers’ record. This is The Word of David Stern.

The funny thing is, the writer hasn’t watched the warriors, Ezili has started every game except 4( cause bogut played those games) and Like one guy said, Draymond has been the rookie and Barnes has shown flashes of star potential. The warriors are playing well, I mean they are 9-2 vs 500 plus teams, the two losses were the thunder and the griz , so legit teams, but that means they have 5 bad losses already. They are probably a 3rd tier team as of now , behind the thunder , heat( I know we just beat em), Knicks and griZ , then you have the clippers and spurs, well I should put the spurs in the contender section, hmm who am I forgetting for the second tier teams? shoot, maybe the warriors are a second tier team? I don’t know anymore

lakers have also won a few titles in the last few years…how many do the clips have?

The scary part is that Barnes is still figuring out how his game fits this team. If he adds 20 pounds of muscle, he’ll be unstoppable.

@dannymac17: the Lakers didn’t get swept last year. (I would call you a genius too, but obviously your not one).

You know, I still have yet to meet a real live Clipper fan in person. They seem to exist in some places on the internet, I guess.

Props to Mark Jackson, and yes I think it’s safe to say that the Warriors are a good team. Good is still a long way from being a great team, I don’t think a healthy Bogut makes them great, but a good solid team that I find entertaining to watch.

Ok Kurt, lets turn down the hyperbole just a bit.

The Warriors are playing well right now, I wouldn’t go as far to say that they got good. They are on a 5 game winning streak and all 5 games were on the road. While that sounds great, its not as impressive when you look at their opponents over the past 5 games. The Nets have been horrible without Lopez and the Heat lost to the Wiz just last week. Their other three opponents were Detroit, Charlotte, and the aforementioned Wizards. I’m glad Mark Jackson has the Warriors playing better, I still think its a bit premature to say Golden State is a good team.

“And when they get a healthy Bogut back their defense should improve more — remember that the Bogut we saw in Milwaukee before his injuries was as good defensively as any center in the league.”

That’s a bit if a stretch. Bogut was above average, but not quite in the top five.

“When healthy”…there’s always a catch, and with Bogut, it’s always followed by “if he could only STAY healthy.” GS looks better without him to be honest, playing a bit smaller, and when Bogut returns, they will slow down. He can’t run the floor like he used to be able to three years ago.

Lakers got swept last year in the second round as well, genius.

Can’t went its been decades of misery and Kurt gives backhanded compliments like “Dazzling”.

We haven’t ever had success, the Warriors have.

also, draymon green won’t get the recognition he deserves because he doesn’t put up great stats, but hes been one of the most impressive rookies in the NBA this year and has been a major reason for the solid D the warriors have been playing. there’s not a lot of guys out there willing to be the glue guy for a team especially one with such a high basketball IQ like he has. steal of the draft

wow clips fans really are the most depressed fans i’ve ever seen, it must suck being the little brother in LA. its pretty sad if the reason you guys lost to the warriors is because you looked at them like a lesser team. i dont know if you remember you guys still haven’t won jack. getting swept in the second round of the playoffs must have given you guys so much confidence. but hey, what ever helps you sleep at night

Gonna have to agree with Dannymac on this one.

The article was written and more importantly the tone was so apparent that Dannymac is spot on. Bogut or no Bogut the Clippers will dismantle this team, the first win was nothing more than the Clippers overlooking what they considered to be a lesser team. Mark this post, THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

Wow, being in the shadow of LA Lakers for so long has really taken its toll on ya. Try being a Warrior fan…give us at least these few seconds under the bright lights of media attention.

1. He didn’t say the Clippers were playing badly in this article. If you want to get an idea about how well PBT thinks the Clippers are playing, check out the weekly “Power Rankings” which have the Clippers in the top-5.

2. He never said Golden State was BETTER than the Clippers. He merely pointed out that the Clippers have gotten more interest because they’re arguably the most entertaining team in the NBA, but Golden State is a team that has also looked good so far this year.

3. Everybody makes fun of Vinny Del Negro. Everybody.

Why flip off what channel the Clippers are on as if they are playing badly like the Lakers. The Kings are still the Kings, but kudos to GS. Clippers have a 8 game winning streak with some good road wins. Besides the one game these two played (during a Clippers 4 game losing streak) whats to suggest the Warriors are better than the Clippers? You always backhand the Clippers any chance you get and its sickening, yet you’ll big up the Lakers and pimp slap Vinny D. I don’t know what goes through your head.
