Ive never seen disparity b/w a starting lineup and bench in history as big as Clips

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Wesley -25
Cole -26
Pablo -23
Austin -28
Jamal -33

this happens very often as well. Clips bench will have a game here or there where they dont completely blow a lead by the starters but more often than not thats not happening. LAC was dominating Toronto then Doc "bottom 5 coach in NBA" takes out Clips 2 best players (CP n J, since Blake been out) and Toronto turns it around completely to the point bench got outscored by 25+ before CP n J got back and AGAIN had to dig the team out of another hole:facepalm every starter was a positive and CP n J were even +10 :facepalm

with Doc coaching and this bench + Deandre this team will never get anywhere.

Clippers are garbage. Basura.

I feel bad for Griffin and CP3. They won't win an NBA title.

If they simply had a bench that could break even they would've been right there with the Warriors last season and would been the 3rd best team behind them and the Spurs this season. They would be legitimate contenders to win championships.

Instead, they have a HORRIBLE bench that gives up huge leads and momentum.

This is how the average Clipper game goes:

Clippers get off to a great start and get an 8 point lead in the 1st 9 minutes of the game.

Doc Rivers takes out Paul and Redick early and puts his son and Crawford in the game. Clippers then proceed to let the other team steal their momentum and take a 5 point lead.

Doc waits way too long until the 6 minute mark in the 2nd quarter to put their starters back in. Clippers then out score the other team untill the end of the 3rd quarter when he takes the starters out early (again).

Clippers bench lets the other team close the gap or take another lead and end up fighting from behind the rest of the game.

Clippers starters finish +10, +12, etc.

Clippers bench players finish -8, -10.

Rinse and repeat.

No fault but themselves

How hard is it to get free agents to sign in freaking Los Angeles?

And they go out and get Josh Smith, Wesley, Lance Stephenson, Paul Pierce, and Pablo Prigioni

It was an excuse last season but they had an off season to get better and didnt

I agree. reminds me of the Utah Jazz in the late 1980's, and early 1990's.
