Despite a fairly tough early schedule, the Los Angeles Clippers are sitting two games above .500 at 6-4. While they’ve played fairly well, continued success will ultimately be most impacted by a few important factors.
The Los Angeles Clippers have had some pretty solid teams throughout the past decade. The Lob City-era Clippers managed to make a postseason appearance for the entirety of their time together, but struggled to make a deep push because the rosters often lacked depth.
While it’ll definitely prove a daunting task for to compete for a playoff spot in a competitive Western Conference, this year’s Clippers team is arguably the deepest in recent memory, with a great mixture of both established and young, potential-filled talents.
Success can be a fairly relative term for each team, but the Clippers are far from bad and have enough pieces to consistently compete with the best teams. Aside from some rotation decisions that will need to be figured out soon, here are three factors that will determine how many games will go in the win column for the Clips this season.
