LA Clippers: 3 crucial goals for their NBA playoff run

LA Clippers playoff goal No. 3: Get to the line more

During the regular season, the Clippers were not very effective at getting to the line. They were 28th in the league with 19.3 attempts from the charity stripe. They then made 16.2 of these which was good enough for 24th in the league.

This led the Clippers to shoot their free throws at 83.9 percent from the line for the regular season which was the best in the league. This shows that when they get sent to the line it is the right people who are taking the shot.

However, when the playoffs get interesting, you want all the advantages that you can get. If the Clippers are not making it to the line, they are not putting their opponents in the penalty means that they have to work so much harder for every point that they get.

They also want to try and get the best players on the opposition into foul trouble. This will allow the better players of the Clippers to try and take advantage of playing against the better players who are hesitant to commit on defense, or against the second unit.

Their stars are 36-of-39 from the line in this series, and the rest of the team is 20-of-23. This is one area the rest of the team can help support their stars.
