The Warriors just had more talent. I mean, here's the rotation for LA Davis, Mobley, Thornton, Kaman, Camby, Thomas, Davis, Gordon Golden State last year Davis, Ellis, Jackson, Harrington, Biedrins, Pietrus, Barnes, Azubuike The only real place where the Clippers have comparable talent is on the frontline, and that's not even taking into account the fact that you probably won't get 82 games from Baron again.

He's 6-foot-3, the same height as almost every other point guard in the league. At 215 pounds, however, he is indeed one of the heaviest. Arenas is 6-4 215 Banks is 6-2 212 Billups is 6-3 205 Calderon is 6-3 210 Daniels is 6-4 205 Kidd is 6-4 210 Marbury 6-2 205 D. Williams is 6-3 210 I know what you meant. Just pointing out there's nothing extraordinary about Baron's size. I think Clippers are loaded with guys who can score. I know where you're coming from--as far as their reliability--but ask yourself this: If last year's Golden State Warriors made the playoffs, why can't this year's Clippers? Think about that for a while. Don Nelson is the only good reason, I think. Talent-wise, this year's Clips are deep. We shall see. Baron Davis has “amazing” size?
