Los Angeles Clippers: 3 bold predictions for Blake Griffin in 2017-18
By Evan Massey
Blake Griffin will lead the Clippers to at least the fifth seed
Staying in contention without Chris Paul won’t be easy for the Clippers and there are quite a few that doubt that they will be too competitive this season. That being said, Griffin is ready to prove that under his leadership, the Clippers are still going to be a force to be reckoned with.
Even with the subtractions that the Clippers’ roster has seen this offseason, they still have a lot of talent on their roster.
Trading Paul was a tough move, but they were able to get quite a bit of talent back from Houston. They also believe that their frontcourt of Griffin and Jordan is capable of carrying them.
Needless to say, it will be interesting to see what ends up happening for the Clippers this season. Griffin may not be given the respect he deserves, but he will earn that respect by leading L.A. to at least the fifth seed in the Western Conference playoff picture.
