Are the Clippers that much better than the 08 Hornets?

Did the OP just say Blake is just as good as pre ACL D-West ?

What Blake lookin' like beyond 10 ft? Except for when he jumps from that far out

look at how many minutes David West played.

Blake is just better to me. Better passer, finisher, draws more double teams, and has a much higher upside. He had holes in his game and can average something 25/12 guy when playing 37 minutes or so if he continues to grow.

Plus Blake is hitting the shot that David West was hitting when he was a Hornet with almost the same efficiency nowadays.

blake needs to develop david wests' fluidity in the post....they have the same body build, and I always said blake needs to watch david wests overall offensive arsenal and literally copy cat that, because even now, when he takes his jumpshot, it looks like that shyt is painful for him...

he needs to add the faceup jumper with the jab step that west always uses.

As a Spurs fan I hated that 2008 Hornets team. That team>>>>this Clippers team. That team was tough, had talent, and great defensively. CP3 and Tyson Chandler pick and roll was a scary sight. That was a great team, they won 56 games that year.

People forget how good they were. They had us down 3-2 in that semifinal series and were a 4th quarter away from going to the Conference Finals

The pick and pop with CP3 and D.West

I just think the bench is what makes them a great team. There is damn near no dropoff between the bench and starters. Especially DEFENSIVELY.. Matt Barnes, Bledsoe, Turiaf are all good defensive players.

chris paul is way better than the chris paul in 08 and thats the difference....



and before yall continue, the 08 chris paul was just more athletic...this chris paul has the game down packed mentally....that year cp3 was just insanely quick.


also the clippers have better individual talent than that hornets team.

Down packed you say?

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Yeah the only difference between these two teams is that Clippers have a better bench. But I still dont think they beat that 2008 Hornets team though

 

[Shameonyou]

Down packed you say?

if you watch cp3 now, you would know the man literally can do whatever he wants...take it like this...if cp3 had the athleticism he had in 08 with the game he has now? he would be the best player in the nba...


yes better than lebron
