This year has been a double-edged sword so far for the Clippers and their fans. On one hand, L.A. is in the playoff hunt — a standing not many in NBA media circles believed would be the case beyond the first 20 games of the season. On the other, since the Clippers started the season strong - at one point having a first place standing in the Western Conference - many are now frustrated with the lack of consistency and their current eighth place standing.
As someone who believed that the Clips could notch 45 wins this season (I didn’t see how the Clips could be worse than the injury-riddled, 42-win season they had last year), but was also realistic about the lack of star power and tough schedule, this season has been a rollercoaster.
