I am writing this on Wednesday, the 16th, two days after the Clippers dropped their third straight game at the hands of the under .500 Pelicans. It was a sloppy, turnover-filled game for L.A. that exposed their complete lack of an inside defensive presence, Doc’s propensity for over-playing the anemic Avery Bradley and overall slump that has seen the Clips’ fall from a top three team to a game above the eighth spot. While this isn’t panic button time, the cons are outweighing the pros since the start of December, and we are starting to see cracks in the squad that many had worries about before the season.
