Clippers Playoff and Regular Season History

The Los Angeles Clippers have successfully turned the franchise around after being one of the lowest-ranked teams in the NBA. At the start, the Clippers made the playoffs just five times in the first forty years. After that unfortunate stretch, the team has only missed the playoffs twice in the last twelve seasons. Despite the productive stretch, the team has yet to make it past the conference finals and has never won a championship. 

The team has gone from 40 overall wins in the 2022-23 season to a record of 51-31 for the 2023-24 season. This stellar run earned them a fourth-place finish in the West and the team was ready to make a deep playoff run.  The Clippers came into the playoffs with a strong offense, ranking fourth in the NBA. They were tough to beat, with a defense ranking 17th best in the league. Put those numbers together and the squad had a net rating of 3.4 which put them at seventh in the league, overall. The Clippers just needed to take an extra step to make it to the playoffs again. 

Entering the playoffs the Clippers faced the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. The Clippers put up a good fight against the stronger Mavericks but would lose the series in six games. The team was unable to stop the dynamic duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving who combined for 56.3 points per game. The Clippers duo of James Harden and Paul George were unable to ramp up their scoring to match the Mavericks and the Clippers were eliminated. 

The Clippers squad has seen many stars throughout recent seasons as the team is searching for a combination that will win. With basketball greats such as Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden it's surprising to many that the Clippers have been unable to break into the Championship. These stars oftentimes come with a limited shelf life and the Clippers have seen them come and go. The 2023-24 season was the last year this lineup would be together, representing the last season the Clippers championship window was open.  The Clippers big three, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden are blockbuster names but they make up an average age of 33. Their production was slowing down. Kawhi led the trio with 23.7 points per game and was selected as an All-Star and the All-NBA second team. Paul George averaged 22.6 points per game and was selected to his ninth All-Star game. Harden averaged 16.6 points per game which is solid for many but that’s not the output Harden is used to producing. The story for the Clippers is simple, they sold out to win a championship with aging stars and fell short. With George leaving in free agency and Leonard struggling with injuries, it is likely the team will be forced to rebuild. 

In 2022-23, the Clippers improved to 44-38 and made the playoffs once again. They took on the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs but bowed out in just five games. Top scorers for the season include Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell, and Ivica Zubac. Paul George scored 1332 points, with 342 rebounds, 288 assists, and 20 blocks. Leonard scored 1239 points, with 204 assists, 338 rebounds, and 243 free throws. Norman Powell scored 1019 points and had 109 assists. Ivica Zubac had 818 points by the end of the season.     

The 2021-22 Clippers made it to the NBA Play-In Seventh Place vs. Eighth Place game. Their regular season record of 42-40 was just good enough for a chance to go further. They lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the one-game "winner moves ahead" match-up. It was a great year for Paul George, Norman Powell, Reggie Jackson, and Marcus Morris Sr. Fans are excited to have John Wall in a Clippers uniform for the 2022-23 season. Wall agreed to a two-year deal during the off-season. Wall did not play in an NBA game last season, but when he's healthy, he averages 19.1 points per game with 9.1 assists. 

Clippers Previous Seasons and Roster Moves

This offseason, two big-name free agents took note of the Clippers success a year ago and decided to join them. The first was Paul George, who signed for 30 million a year. The second was Kawhi Leonard, who signed for 32 million a season. These two moves immediately propel the Clippers into championship status. After several trades, the Clippers ended up with the 27th selection overall in the draft, which was used on Florida State freshman center Mfiondu Kabengele. After the two big moves in free agency, the Clippers were pretty much tapped in terms of cap, so they did nothing else.

George and Leonard join a roster that already includes the likes of small forward Maurice Harkless, point guard Patrick Beverly, and the veteran shooting guard Lou Williams, who even though it seems as if he has been around forever but he hasn’t. He's only 33. If this roster can click, which at times it has early this season, they can give the Lakers serious fits in the playoffs if they want to.

The Los Angeles Clippers commonly referred to as “Lob City” the last number of years finished the regular season a year ago with a record of 51-31, good enough for a spot in the Western Conference playoffs. The team lost in seven games in that first round to the Utah Jazz. For the Clippers, the off-season was more about what they lost than what they gained. Point guard Chris Paul left the team. For some reason, forward Blake Griffin re-signed a maximum deal for five years, and reportedly it was more about the money than anything else. Many are expecting coach Doc Rivers to move on before the season is out, and the Clippers will need to rebuild.
