You just have comprehension issues I suppose. The Clippers are who they are to a man EXCEPT Jordan. He is the only one with potential growth. He is the only hope they have to have any semblance of a defense good enough to beat the good teams in the West. HE is the key because you'd hope he could become a Tyson Chandler type player which is exactly what the team needs. He just doesnt seem to have enough of a basketball IQ to do it. Always caught out of position on the basic NBA play, the pick and roll. Footwork just isnt there. Can't shoot FT's. You see they are stuck with what they have for the most part and Paul and Griffin and Dudley and Reddick and Crawford arent getting any better, they have all more or less maxed out at what they can do though some would believe that Griffin can expand his game (I disagree, he is what he is)

Leonard and Danny Green were SA's keys last year. Their improvement put SA over the top in the West. Despite the rhetoric the "stars" arent the guys who ultimately lift a team over the top. The stars are remarkably consistent players who may add a small piece to their game each year but are too good to really improve much. It is the role players doing their jobs well that make all the difference.
