LOS ANGELES – Orientation is over.
The Clippers all should know each other. The Clippers should all know what to expect from one another. The Clippers should be able to execute consistently.
But mostly, the Clippers need to just be better.
This message has to be felt following the team’s 103-91 clunker against the Indiana Pacers, a good team, no doubt. But, the Clippers should be better.
It starts with Doc Rivers, who took responsibility for the team’s 41 second-half points and stagnant offense.
It flows to Blake Griffin, who let missed shots pile up and affect his confidence and demeanor.
