Could these Tar Heels beat the Clippers?

[RogueScholar]

This question was raised for the USC Trojans vs. the Raiders, and it seemed approrpiate considering the state of the game we're watching. Obviously I find it highly unlikely that any college team could beat the Clippers, but I'm curious to see if anybody disagrees.

[pico]

no

[SamsNCharge99]

answer is 99% always in favor of professional team IMO.

Pros are too experienced and also bigger, stronger, faster.

UNC is a GREAT team, but I still think any Pro team would beat any College team

[TPowell]

this UNC team would get mopped by any D League team

[unde0087]

by 30+

[TPowell]

can you imagine Tyler Hansbrough against a true center???

[SlickFazzer]

every year these are the silliest threads on the board.

just plain silly.

[james4512]

lol no way all 5 of UNC starters are nba players

[element1286]

I bet Daggerkobe thinks they could.

[TPowell]

Hasnbrough isnt and Thompson isn't either, Green and ELlington would get embarassed by those guys. Lawson could hold his own though.

[onthewhat]

NO

Clippers have talent, marcus Camby, Eric Gordon, baron Davis, Chris Kaman, etc.

The Clippers worst starter is better than UNC's best player

Would be a blow out

your absolutely insane the D-league players are bad

[TPowell]

not really as bad you'd think. Thats where at least 4/5 of Carolina's 5 would be. Only exception is Lawson

[james4512]

exactly thats my point. They would not get smashed they would definatly play a close game if not win outright

[TPowell]

your on crack pal, a lot of good players in the D League. Think about everybody that doesnt make the pros

[Fischnasty]

this is asinine. no.

[Rich Boy]

Nobody will ever know unless they actually play each other.

[The_Kid]

can you imagine Tyler Hansbrough against a true center???

I totally agree. Camby would swat every shot back in his face.

Hey we get it man, you hate Carolina! Quit making rediculous posts. If 5 years from now only one of these Carolina starters are in the nba look me up and I will give you my life savings.

[TPowell]

lol who else will be? Thompson and Hansbrough will be overseas at best. I think Ellington and Green MAY be in a roster for a couple years though. Only other sure fire NBA guy on the roster is Ed Davis IMO

[Mac4Lyfe]

It all depends on the rules, , shot clock, 3pt line, 5 fouls, zone defense, how long you get to practice, etc... Look in a one game winner take all, anything can happen. Look at how USA basketball was getting abused by international teams with only 1 or 2 guys that could sniff the league.

Teamwork is very important and while every NBA team should be able to lock down most college players, with some liberal rules it could favor college teams to some extent.

You're such a Carolina hater you prick, have doubted them all year and posted nothing but garbage statements about how over rated they are. Laughs on you again just like last year when we booted Louisville.

Carolina NATIONAL CHAMPS beeotch.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it T Powell.

[TPowell]

pal, you beat us AT HOME last year with a lot of questionable calls. This year you didnt play ONE ****ing elite team you elitist prick. If you think Michigan State played this way against UL and UConn you're a ****ing tool

[chucksmith]

You are a joke, got an excuse for everything dont you???

Laughin my ass off at you

[BetterBetter]

Ellington is a lock! Look at it this way, JJ Redick is not only on a roster but gets a decent amount of playing time. Ellington is way more valuable than him. Green could be a great NBA player. He has hops and a good game he just isn't featured in carolinas offense. Also plays great defense. Hansbrough we'll have to wait and see but I wouldn't rule him out 100% like so many are. Thompson could go either way too. Depends how hard he wants to work (and play) for the next year and on into the NBA.

[yisman]

Clippers would blow them out.

[yisman]

Green and Lawson are NBA talents. Ellington is borderline.

[james4512]

NO

Clippers have talent, marcus Camby, Eric Gordon, baron Davis, Chris Kaman, etc.

Would be a blow out

if you think eric gordon is better than lawson you are insane my friend

[Tsoprano]

to the original question: no way

[TPowell]

Thompson is overseas bound, either Green or Ellington will play in the NBA (career reserve). Both are too streaky to be anything more though.

[TPowell]

if you think eric gordon is better than lawson you are insane my friend

offensively, yes he is

[spongerat]

who thought a college football team could beat an nfl team? only a few, if any of even the best college team will make the nfl, and often times they are less than steller. professionals are professionals for a reason. NBA NFL would completely beat any college team in any sports

[specialedbob]

Some people might think you have a pretty picture.

[GatorFan]

Tar Heels could not beat the LA clippers but I think can beat up the Detroit Shock easily. Do you think so?

Come on, old issue. College Teams can not compete against pro teams. Just use your head, Most NBA players are developed and playing against kids. Almost like High Schoolers playing against JR high kids.
