So far, the Clippers’ “second season” has looked a lot better than their first.
On Jan. 29, the Clippers franchise flipped upside-down, when LA traded its face to the Detroit Pistons for three unfamiliar faces and a few draft picks.
But the acclimation to life without Blake Griffin has been a speedy process, sparked by the play of Tobias Harris – one of the new faces from Detroit – as well as the rejuvenation of DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams, and the emergence of Montrezl Harrell.
And if the Clippers – sparked by their unique mixture of a young and veteran core – continue their current streak, the team could ride its recent wave right into the playoffs.
