Clippings: The starting lineup hasn’t yet come to play

During the 2020-21 regular season, the second-most used four-man lineup (371 minutes in total) for the Clippers was Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Marcus Morris Sr., and Ivica Zubac.

If that grouping rings a bell, it’s because it’s the fulcrum of the current starting unit. The Clippers took the returning lineup that had played the most together, added Eric Bledsoe and voila, as much continuity as possible for a team without its starting small forward and point guard from a year ago.

Except the new starting lineup — the one that Ty Lue was so committed to during training camp that they ran it out for opening night despite not playing together at all during preseason — has been something of a disaster so far.
