The LA Clippers‘ have certainly failed to live up to their “Clamp City” nickname so far this season. The team currently ranks 25th in Opponent’s Points Per Game and 19th in Defensive Rating. But, while their lackluster defense may get more of the spotlight during this current 2-6 slump, it is not the the most pressing issue the Clippers have to address.
In fact, the team has only given up about 3 more points per game during this stretch than they did during their impressive 9-1 run to close out November, which included five wins over current playoff teams.
