Any other team, and I would say that lineup should definitely be a playoff team. 7 or 8 seed perhaps, but should at least make it. And if they got lucky and nabbed a 5 or 6 seed with a good draw, they might even have a shot at the second round.

But this is the Clippers we're talking about. The last time I had hope for them, they managed to take a stellar lineup including Andre Miller, Q Richardson, Maggette, Odom, and Brand, plus solid depth...and stumble to an utterly horrible 27-55 record. 55 losses, over 2/3 of their games! Worst team in the division, second worst team in the West, and fifth worst team in the entire league. Pathetic.
