^ I don't think they will beat the Spurs but I agree that they will challenge them. I think the experience of the Spurs will prevail in that matchup, provided Memphis doesn't make a big comeback to win this series. The Clippers have stepped it up big late in the season and they have come into form. They will be a tough out for anybody in this league.

It would be interesting to see both the Clippers and the Lakers get to the conference finals and have an all L.A. conference finals, but I don't see that happening.
