8. LA Clippers
Opponent: Utah Jazz
Three NBA all-star players, a multiple time 6th Man of the Year winner and a coach who’s captured both a championship and a Coach of the Year award and yet this Clippers team poses absolutely no threat to actually compete for a title.
Well, in fairness, no real threat barring injury. Because if Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden all get injured, then perhaps the Clippers would be considered the favorites to come out of the West. Perhaps.
Look for another decent run in the playoffs where they will come up woefully short of their championship aspirations. Again.
