If these rankings are any indication, the Clippers are a doomed team. Being in the 30th spot this week is not the end of the world, though. Paul George still has a ways to go before he's completely back to his usual self, and it's reasonable to assume he can be near his MVP-level play from last season as long as he can remain healthy. Kawhi Leonard is probably the most lethal playoff performer in the league, and his workload hasn't been excessive this year. There may not be a team in the league that can match the Clippers' combination of star power and depth.
