This is an important Spring for Los Angeles Clippers fans. 2016 marks the fifth time the Chris Paul and Blake Griffin led Clippers, affectionately referred to as Lob City, enter the playoffs. So far this team hasn’t managed to make it out of the second round despite being a perennial 50+ win team, and displaying some brilliant first round performances. Not only have the Clippers not made it out of the second round, they have fallen short in heart breaking fashion.
As Clipper fans know, 2014 and 2015’s playoff eliminations both came after the team came tantalizingly close to securing a Western Conference Finals appearance.
