The primary indicator of four losses in seven games is a flawed roster. This is now obvious, which is not good, and although the LA Clippers had a few areas that might struggle in the back of their minds, like defense or consistency, playmaking missed the cut. Yet this is a significant hole in the roster, as the Clippers are last in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio and turnover percentage.
Furthermore, head coach Tyronn Lue and the Clippers have James Harden running the show. This, of course, is who LA wants on the job, given Harden's scoring, playmaking, team-involvement skills, and reliability.
