The LA Clippers received a full beatdown in Dallas yesterday, losing to the Mavericks 108-82. To keep it simple: It was not pretty. The Clippers shot an awful 34.9% from the field. As Brad Turner of the LA Times points out, outside of Austin Rivers and Lou Williams, the Clippers really lack any sort of offensive firepower until Danilo Gallinari, Milos Teodosic and eventually Blake Griffin return. Now, the Clippers will try to back against the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves had a pretty solid off-season, gaining a superstar in Jimmy Butler. Their young core plus Butler was expected to do well, but they have stumbled at times.
