Biggest Weakness: Killer Instinct
The Clippers were well on their way last season to finally making it out of the second round of the NBA playoffs. They had it in their grasp, but then it happened – the curse.
How can a team that is led by Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan lose a 3-1 series lead to to an under-matched group out of Houston? For all the Clips glory and talent, they still lack that trait that makes champions – champions.
This offseason they loaded up, though. They stole Jordan back from Dallas, traded for Lance Stephenson, signed Josh Smith and Paul Pierce, but will that be enough? There are no more excuses, as this is the most talent assembled for the Lakers roommates. It’s do or die for this bunch this season.
