team. 77. Here are some noteworthy Clippers numbers through 14 games: they’re second in offensive rating, second in defensive rating, first in net rating, fifth in assist to turnover ratio, fourth in true shooting and first in points off turnovers. So, basically, this team and these players are in midst of quite possibly the best ball of their entire co-existence, which dates back to when we thought “Lob City” was cool, and when Donald Sterling owned the team, and when people were still mad about <strong><a rel=.

The doubts about the Orlando Magic’s offense should and still do remain.

Even with the team playing some incredible defense, they were unable to pull away from New Orleans or Dallas when Orlando had clear opportunities to do so. The Magic have to learn to put games away.
