In the latest installment of our NBA Power Rankings, we profile the LA Clippers. They’re real, and they’re spectacular

The LA Clippers are sitting atop the NBA standings, at 12-2.

LA has the NBA’s second-best offense and second-best defense in the NBA. They have the NBA’s best Net Rating, by a lot, at 13.8. Chris Paul is having an NBA MVP type season and is catapulting this team to greatness.

A couple of weeks ago, the Clippers knocked the snot out of the San Antonio Spurs, in the way of a 116-92 win. The Clippers are doing everything that they’re supposed to be doing right now. They’re winning, and impressively.

As Jackie Chiles would say, “they’re real and spectacular.”
