Show Notes
The Clippers suffered a tough loss against the Portland Trail Blazers, dropping them in the playoff standings. The game was dominated by the Blazers, but the Clippers thin center rotation was a significant factor. The team traded Ivica Zubac for Isaiah Jackson and Bennedict Mathurin, which was seen as a downgrade. The injuries to Jackson and rookie Yanic Konan Niederhauser exacerbated the depth problem. The teams decision not to add center help at the trade deadline is being criticized, as Brook Lopezs slow feet and lack of rebounds have exposed the frontcourts weaknesses. Despite the setbacks, the Clippers still have playoff punch with Kawhi Leonard and Garland leading the charge, but the center neglect might limit their run.
