3. Los Angeles Clippers

Even my vitriolic hate for this team isn’t enough for me to deny that they’re going to be fun to watch. Chris Paul still has plenty left in the tank, as he continues to display, and Blake Griffin just keeps getting better … and better (though his game is still aesthetically a train wreck).

DeAndre Jordan, if not for his Dallas free agency saga alone, is exciting thanks to his constant personal highlight reel. Not to mention, they’ve added Josh Smith, Paul Pierce and Lance Stephenson and they still have Jamal Crawford, so highlights everywhere.
