Still, can see them maybe beating the Spurs once, possibly twice, but the Spurs should have enough in the tank to see them off. The Clippers are still reliant on two things: CP3 in the clutch and their shooters being hot. Blake is a good player but they can't really go to any of their bigs down the stretch, they usually cough up turnovers. Mo Williams and CP3 can handle the ball, but they really need a wing player to attack the rim. Young should do it, as should Butler, but they both settle for pull up jumpers.
The Spurs are one of the most complete teams in the league, when they're hot they can beat anybody by 20+ points. If the Clippers are to win, CP3 will have to dominate Tony Parker, and Blake Griffin will have to dominate Tim Duncan.
Clippers played well last night though. Bench (+Paul) played for a lot of the fourth, wasn't till about 2 mins left on the clock till a non-bench player scored. Reggie Evans got some huge rebounds.
They'll get swept by the Spurs though. Learning curve for them this year, done well to get past a good Memphis team.

You need to get rid of Amar'e, but you need a scoring presence inside, unless you move 'Melo to the four, which is good for offense, but woeful for defence.

The defence was much better with Melo at the four. I wonder if the Magic would bit in a a Hedo for Amare swap? It would take Amare home and give D12 another superstar, it would also allow Melo to play the four and slot Hedo in at the 3.
LeBron will no doubt get the blame, but Wade has been absolutely pathetic all season long, Heat won't win anything with LeBron and a bunch of scrubs. If someones getting traded at the end of the season, it's him. Wouldn't be suprised to see a Noah/Gibson type swap with Chicago.
