Los Angeles Clippers
Wish: A defense
The biggest difference between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers is defense. The Clippers can play on the offensive end with any team in the NBA. On the other end though, is where their shortcomings arise.
The Clippers have the 15th best defense in the NBA. Even for fringe playoff teams, that’s bad. A team with the talent that the Clippers have, along with Doc Rivers as their head coach, this team should be better than they’ve been over the last few seasons. Especially in the playoffs.
Los Angeles was a few minutes from making the Western Conference Finals a year ago. They might never get that close with this core again. Sad.
