Clippers Rumors: Is Los Angeles a pretender?


The season is still young, but it’s time to look at whether or not the Clippers are real this time around.
All of the Clippers organization knows it is only the beginning of the season. There is much more work to be done and goals to be accomplished.
This doesn’t mean do not celebrate! By all means please celebrate, because if the Clippers don’t then where is the fun of enjoying winning. They must take the season one game at a time. This sounds dreadful, given there are 82 games in a season, but believe me the season will go by fast.
Their loss Friday night against the Detroit Pistons is a learning curve. They must evaluate this loss to see what went wrong where at. In order for them to have a solid season they will have to play in spurts of 14 game winning streaks before they drop some games. They are not going to win most of their games, although last year it is proven it is possible.
The Clippers have a lot of players who not only just play their proper position, but are versatile and can play other positions as well. This gives Doc Rivers an advantage when playing different teams as he can switch between different lineups.
Lob City has depth this year, which is what they were missing last year in the playoffs. Depth and versatility help the team when key players go down and the team has to rely on the next man up to do their role well and exceed this expectations.
The LA Clippers have been doing good yet can they keep this pace up for 82 games and continue to win? Or will they lose games they should win.
Lob City even with its depth is a team that plays to their opponents level.
Once they can figure out a way to play at the LA Clippers level consistently, they won’t have to worry about losing games they should have won.
