Things are going great for the Utah Jazz right now.
Things were also going great for the “Lob City” Los Angeles Clippers seven years ago. Led by their star duo of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, the team jumped out to a 25-6 start after going undefeated through 17 games in January.
They looked like solid championship contenders that year in a loaded Western Conference boasting the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, and the up-and-coming Oklahoma City Thunder.
They were on the tops of power rankings all throughout the internet, and a few months later DeAndre Jordan would throw down the dunk of the year on top of Brandon Knight‘s head.
