Throughout this season I’ve felt myself trying to pick out identifiable qualities of last season’s Los Angeles Clippers team within this season’s iteration. It’s a show of just how much of a connection I felt to last season’s team, coupled with the battle to find that comfort and peace of mind that this team will be able to give us many more nights to remember during this campaign.
One quality that remains in terms of the team’s mentality is how they’ve continued to embrace a “next man up” mentality within the brotherhood they formed last year.
