8. LA Clippers
Quite frankly, the LA Clippers haven’t gotten off to the start that many expected them to. The Clippers are 2-3 on the season and two of their losses came at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s a bit odd. Maybe the Thunder are just a team that has their number?
Either way, the hope is that this slow start is not going to be indicative of how the season is going to progress this season for the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard is, smartly, being eased back into the swing of things and John Wall looks good.
I think it’s smart what the Clippers are doing. Though, it may result in this team losing way too many games that they don’t have business losing. We likely won’t see this team’s best basketball until the latter portion of the season.
