    "The Clippers have lost seven of their last nine games to fall below .500 (beyond the first three games of a season) since they traded for Chris Paul in 2011. And an ugly, three-game stretch resulted another case of locker room strife, a malady that seems to be making its way around the Western Conference."

    No one thought they would get off to a slow start last year.

    No locker room meltdown for us, that I know of anyways. But I thought the record part was interesting.

    That's a reach. How is their roster last season remotely comparable to our current roster?

    Nah. We're off to a significantly better start this season than last season.

    It's not the roster, it's the fact that we had high expectations coming into the year, and haven't quite lived up to them. The same thing goes for the clippers last year.

    It happens all the time, like with the heatles, but I just thought this was interesting because it was so recent.

    That's another bright side. But I feel like everyone was expecting us to only have like 3 losses at this point.

    We should be disappointed based on expectations, but implying we arent better than we were at this time last season is simply irrational and unfair.

    So we should make the playoffs and get beat by the blazers in 6?

    I didn't think I was implying that.
