I apologize if there is already one of these threads but I scanned through the first 5 pages and didn't see one.
Anyways, since we may own the Clippers pick if they make the playoffs we should be watching them closely as we are doing with the Kings and Grizzlies.
The Clippers record currently stands at 6-4 and they're about tied for 5th in the Western Conference. I still think they don't make playoffs as I see the following teams ending up with a better record: Utah, Houston and possibly Minnesota, if they don't give Butler away for nothing. Not sure how LAL will fare either. So this thread could be dead null and void by the all-star break or could go down to the wire if a couple of major injuries hit the upper level teams.
Their next 10 games or so could see them go .500 and keep them out of the lottery standings.

I’ll start watching intently if Butler or another star lands there either this year or next

LAC currently stand at 6-5, having just lost to Portland last night.

Their upcoming schedule is as follows:

vs. Milwaukee
vs. GSW
vs. San Antonio
@ Brooklyn
@ Atlanta
@ Washington

Hoping for at least 3 wins here.

Tough homestand. Could definitely see them losing all three.

I’m sure they wlll find a way to lose one of those road games.

Even if they go 6-0, they’re not making the playoffs. That pick is done. Just need to stay better than SAC.
CELTICS 2024

Might as well be optimistic and hope they are somehow on the bubble in April. LAC defeated MIL 126-124 in OT. Bledsoe hit a stepback 3 to send the game to OT. Lou Williams then hit the game winner, an off-balance contested layup with 0.3 seconds left.

Record now 7-5!  ;) At the time of this post, SAC BOS and LAC are all 7-5!  ;D

Maybe there should be a Celtics watch thread because all the other teams we are watching Clippers, Kings, Grizzlies are doing better or about the same as the Celts and they are in the West? :o

IF they had our picks then they would have threads like those, we have their picks so we have these threads.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2018 #11 pick) has started the last four games. Looks like Doc is committed to starting SGA, a rookie (!!!!), even when AB comes back.

Quote
#Clippers' coach Doc Rivers on starting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs. #Wolves - "It was great. Shai was going to start whether Avery [Bradley] was healthy or not. We were going to move the lineup around cuz I think it's time for him to start. I thought Shai was fantastic."
