First Pick: Los Angeles Clippers -5. 5 over Golden State Warriors Rundown: It demonstrates the depth of the West that the Clippers have the seventh best record in the NBA over the last 55 games, and yet will still need to win two single-elimination play-in games just to sneak into the postseason. It also is illustrative of just how bad LA began their season, as the Clippers started out an abysmal 6-21 before going on a 36-19 stretch to end the year.
