Turnovers and inefficiency could be to blame, but the LA Clippers disappointed fans both in person and on their devices with a 20-plus point loss in the season opener against the Utah Jazz. This leads to a broader perspective, which pertains to the development of chemistry with LA's new and returning faces.
In the preseason, there were minimal issues in mistimed possessions, or rotational players blatantly missing their teammates in the half-court and transition. Everything seemed perfect, but this was a sign that a poor start was incoming, as with several new faces, sometimes initial performances can be too good to be true.
