His research falls in line with what I suspected. The Clippers are a juggernaut. When everyone is healthy, they were the best team in the NBA.

A few other tidbits:

Golden States is extremely underrated

Lebron will likely have to play 40 minutes a night for them to win any series in the West (is he healthy enough to do that?)

Mavs and Clippers series will be extremely entertaining. Mavs offensive numbers show they can compete with anybody.

Phoenix biggest contribution to their success this year and final seeding was health and a decent rotation. When rotations are shortened and you have to play more minutes against another team's best lineup, they aren't as intimidating.

The 2 seed is shaping out to be better than the 1. Having to play against the Clippers in the second round makes that a fact. The Jazz's reward for getting that 1 is either one of the hottest most underrated teams in the league or Lebron and then the Clippers.

Brutal
