Reasons to doubt every NBA championship contender

Los Angeles Clippers

Reason: When are the Clippers going to wake up?

It’s tough to watch the Los Angeles Clippers play because some nights they look like the best team in the Western Conference and other nights they look like a team that doesn’t deserve to go to the playoffs.

One of the most disappointing teams this season by far has been the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s a shame that the Clippers aren’t a better basketball team. The Clippers have the sixth best team in the Western Conference but have all of the potential to have the best team in the west. The Clippers haven’t realized it yet but this season they have one of the best opportunities to get to the NBA Finals.

It’s as if the Clippers are playing in cruise control during the regular season, but that does nothing but bring inconsistency, which is a trait they don’t need entering into the playoffs.

If the Clippers don’t wake up soon then they’re going to lose in the second round of the playoffs once again, and then we’ll have to hear that stupid narrative how Chris Paul isn’t a winner.

Clippers head coach Doc Rivers needs to wake up his team, other wise we’re going to still be sleeping on their potential.
