As expected, the Los Angeles Clippers’ new bench have got off to a shaky start. With Doc Rivers’ revamped team sitting at just 1-3 in the 2015-16 preseason so far, it’s safe to say that even though these games don’t matter, there are still some concerns that can’t just be ignored. And after a 113-71 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, there’s no way to deny that the bench needs some attention.
At half time, the Clippers’ starters had done enough to keep them in the game at 51-56. Blake Griffin had 12 points and 12 rebounds in the first two quarters and it looked like the Clippers may have been able to do enough to get a win.
