Clippers Post Mortem up on the Athletic


Our old friend Law Murray from Clippersblog has a pretty damning Clippers Post Mortem up on the Athletic:

Among the low-lights:

“Eight West teams have won a playoff series in the past three years, and the Clippers aren’t one of them…They’re the oldest team in the NBA and stuck as they open Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., later this year. They can’t blow it up because the team would be woeful in the short term while still waiting for a full complement of lottery pick.

Even if the stars, head coach and front office all return, things will be different for the Clippers, at least from an expectations perspective. The past three years were about seeing if this group led by Leonard and George could win, or at least contend. They have proven they cannot.

Intuit Dome will not open with championship aspirations. It is merely a final resting place for this era while the Clippers hope to stay over .500 in an unforgiving conference.”

  1. As expected, all 3 of them are coming back or at least harden and Kawhi.
