A quick look at the Clippers’ 34-33 record might not necessarily impress the average NBA fan, but it might impress those who have kept up with the trajectory of this season. Currently, the Clippers hold a better record than the star-studded Nets, and have a considerable cushion between the 9th-seed Lakers, facts that no one in their right mind would have projected knowing the injury situation the Clippers have faced.
After a seven-game winning streak was interrupted by two losses against the Knicks and Warriors, the Clippers now have an opportunity to steady the ship as they sail towards the play-in (while striving to secure the sixth seed).
