the clippers have lost 5 straight, and are looking at the possibility of falling out of HOME COURT seedings in the WC playoffs...
if the losing streak continues, they may find themselves out of playoff contention altogether...
what has brought on the recent troubles?
some would argue that the team sorely misses corey maggette... after all the clippers were 9-4 with him in the lineup... but i would discount that argument, since corey maggette hasn't been in the lineup since the first week of december... without doubt, the clippers could use corey maggette at the SG spot, where they are dramatically thin behind cuttino mobley...
is it because the clippers have no depth at PF?
this may add to the mix, because since chris wilcox left, elton brand has no bonafide substitute... it's disgusting that the clippers waste front court roster spots with 6'9"+ euro bums yaroslav korolev, vladimir radmanovic and zeljko rebraca...
the answer to the clippers current troubles can be found manning the SF spot... shaun livingston...
a PG by preference, shaun livingston has been asked to fill a spot otherwise filled by quinton ross and james singleton... coach dunleavy's choice of placing shaun livingston into the SF spot is like trying to force a round peg into a square hole...
coach dunleavy made a questionable blunder rushing shaun livingston back into the starting rotation so soon, anyway... the clippers went 2-5 when shaun livingston returned in december... his minutes got reduced in january, and the clippers record was 9-5... want more proof? how about the clippers have LOST EVERY GAME where shaun livingston clocks 30 or more minutes...
the clippers need to rid themselves of euros and youngsters if they want to become better...
