The first month of the season is the opposite of what all supporters of the LA Clippers were expecting. Most people thought the team got better, fixed the holes that became apparent over the last season, and added quality depth pieces. Simply put, it seems all of these assumptions were incorrect.
After about a quarter of the season, the Clippers stand at 5-15, with a clear issue: not being able to close out games. Just this past week, they held fourth-quarter leads against the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks. They would end up losing both games by a combined 9 points.
