Even though the LA Clippers hit a bit of a bump on the road, in the way of a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, it’s hard to deny what they’ve been doing through the first few weeks of the NBA season.

The Clippers are 12-2 and are beating teams rather impressively. Of their 12 wins, they have eight double-digit wins. They sport the NBA’s third best offense and second best defense. I’m not sure the Clippers could’ve dreamed of a better start right now.

You can actually make the case that Chris Paul – and his 18 points, nine assists and six rebounds per game – is the NBA’s MVP and the Clippers are the best team.
