NBA Power Rankings: Battle for seeding priority of OKC Thunder and peers
Kudos to Doc Rivers and the Clippers management team for doing something the Lakers couldn’t —- Simply put the Clippers laid out a game plan and followed it precisely. Now the youngsters on the Clippers will get playoff experience, the brain trust will have assets to dangle and most importantly they’ve got room within the salary to work one or two quality free agents into the mix.
