The Los Angeles Clippers fell last night to the Denver Nuggets http://gty.im/453793176 in their fourth preseason game.
“If one were to read significance into the NBA preseason, which clearly one should not, one would look at the lack of offensive spark from the 1-4 Los Angeles Clippers. The team that led the NBA in offensive efficiency last season looks completely lost on offense this preseason.

Jamal Crawford got off to a red hot start, making his first six shots which included four three pointers — and then missed his next six. And basically, once Crawford stopped doing it, nothing much could save the Clippers from themselves.
NBA offenses thrive on easy shots. Brilliant shot making needs to bail any NBA team out of difficult situations many times every game — but you must get more than your share of easy ones from your offensive schemes to thrive. So far this preseason, and particularly so in this one, the Clippers looked lost on the offensive end, and simply aren’t getting the easy looks they need.”
