The Clippers were already declining. The Jazz just unintentionally sent them into a freefall.
It was already covered last night that the Utah Jazz trading John Collins to the Los Angeles Clippers effectively sent them into a tailspin. From the looks of things, the Clippers appear past the point of no return. For what it's worth, the Jazz never intended that to happen, and, given the situation, the irony is that Utah has been helping the Clippers over the past few years.
