The Clippers finally rediscovered their offensive mojo this week and had two of their more dramatic wins of the year by beating Indiana in a shootout and then mounting a 24-point comeback against old friend Doc Rivers and the Sixers. Unfortunately, those two wins were accompanied by two more losses and the continued absence of Paul George, meaning that the Clippers are still in ninth place in the West and falling down the national power rankings, as George and Kawhi Leonards statuses remain nebulous. That places the Clippers are at their lowest perch since starting the season 1-4. But dont worry Xavier Moon Jersey, this is a team that knows how to rally when it falls behind. ESPNThis week: 19th | Last week: 20thPaul George will remain out for at least a few more weeks as the Clippers see how his torn elbow ligament will respond to more rest. Without George and Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers continue to grind; for the second time this month, the Clippers overcame a 24-point deficit and won, beating their old coach Doc Rivers and the Sixers on Friday. The Clippers are just the sixth team in the past 25 seasons to come back from 24 down to win twice in a season.NBA.comThis week: 22nd | Last week: 18thThe Clippers have seen the leagues biggest drops from last season in both winning percentage and point differential. And with their defeat in New York on Sunday, theyre the first team to have matched their loss total from 20-21. But the Clippers arent letting go of the rope. They entered last week having been held under a point per possession in three straight games, but their four games last week were their best offensive stretch of the season.Their second-leading scorer over the four games was Ivica Zubac, who had a career-high 32 points against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets on Wednesday. The big man was aggressive from the start and the Nuggets didnt really have a solution for him at the end. When Nikola Jokic guarded him, the Clippers went to pick-and-roll. When the Nuggets adjusted by having Jeff Green guard Zubac, Zubac took Green into the post. The Clippers lost in OT and Zubacs per-game average is still below 10 points per game Kobe Brown Jersey, his effective field goal percentage is a career-best 67.3%. Hes one of nine players who have shot 70% or better on at least 100 attempts in the restricted area and 50% or better on at least 50 attempts elsewhere in the paint.The Clippers win in Philly on Friday was the third in a game they trailed by at least 20 points. That leads the league and is more than any team had last season. The rest of their eight-game trip is a stretch of five games in seven days, starting Tuesday.Sports IllustratedThis week: 20th | Last week: 19thPlayer to watch: Nicolas BatumIt turns out Batums renaissance campaign with the Clippers wasnt a fluke. Hes still shooting just over 40% from behind the three-point line, still filling gaps on defense that impact winning and still able to play four positions on both sides of the ball. Should Kawhi Leonard and Paul George somehow make it back to 100% before the season ends, Batum may become one of the most important swingmen in basketball.The AthleticThis week: 16th | Last week: 13thPromising lineup: Reggie Jackson | Luke Kennard | Terance Mann | Paul George | Ivica Zubac | 56 minutes | +4.1 net ratingIts so tough to find things for this LA Clippers team now that George is out for an extended period and Kawhi Leonard still might not be back this season. If he is, that changes a lot of how this exercise goes, but Ill go with caution while still hoping PG returns. This is probably the lineup that makes the most sense for this Clippers team because it gives them theoretical shooting from the outside while still having enough size and versatility for the interior. This lineup hasnt done great with their offense, but the defense has been lockdown. Even with Jackson and Kennard on the floor Kenyon Martin Jr. Jersey, this lineup doesnt really have weaknesses defending. I think this lineup has real potential.Questionable lineup: Reggie Jackson | Eric Bledsoe | Paul George | Nicolas Batum | Ivica Zubac | 167 minutes | -9.3 net ratingThis is the Clippers most-used lineup this season, and its been awful. They give up over 114 points per 100 possessions, and it really shouldnt be that bad. I can buy into the idea that it would struggle the way it does offensively, but theres too much defensive talent even if some of it is past its prime on that end of the floor to be this poor at it. Bledsoe has really struggled at times. Batum isnt as quick as he used to be, but this team still needs to perform a lot better when these five are together. Just have to hope George will be able to come back before its too late.
